It seems that everyone is in agreeance that the ‘Sandman’ should get his hand raised come Saturday night. While he has the benefit of knowing he was going to fight on August 5th for quite sometime longer, he’s taking a short notice fight against Font the same way Font is taking a short notice fight against Cory.

Regardless, these UFC odds are showing that Sandhagen will get the job done this weekend. Not only that, but a finish looks favorable, too. Let’s look into it.

UFC Odds – Sandhagen vs Font Method of Victory

As we mentioned earlier, neither Font nor Sandhagen have been finished by KO/TKO. Both fighters, when losing, mostly lose via decision and have only been finished once, that was by submission.

However, a KO/TKO for Cory Sandhagen is sitting around the +155 mark. Again, the Sandhagen vs Font odds are only educated guesses, but to think that either fighter could be the first to knock the other out isn’t farfetched, especially when noting that Font was dropped five times within two fights prior to his win against Adrian Yanez.

Sandhagen vs Font Round to Win

Per usual, the longer the fight goes, the less likely the UFC odds think we’ll see a finish. Font’s last two stoppage wins, including his last fight, have been by first round TKO. Sandhagen’s last first-round victory was back in 2021 and in under thirty-seconds at the expense of Frankie Edgar.

Considering the durability of both fighters, it’s not hard to see this one going to decision. The UFC betting odds and the fighting styles make it seem like a submission is unlikely, but you never know.

Here are some more of the UFC on ESPN 50 odds. There are plenty of fun fights and interesting odds to look at for this event, but we pulled out some of the odds that are talking points for this card.

Billy Quarantillo vs Damon Jackson

Damon Jackson is an absolute inspiration, but when he loses, it tends to be violently and by strikes. Now, Billy isn’t exactly a one-punch knockout artist, but rather, his volume does the damage for him; this fight could go a lot of directions, but it’s looking like Quarantillo is the favorite due to his penchant for the finish and Damon’s susceptibility on the feet.

Jessica Andrade vs Tatiana Suarez

Tatiana Suarez will look to make it ten in a row and three world champions in her win column. She’s taking on the heavy-handed and prolific finisher, Jessica Andrade. Jessica was the strawweight queen not too long ago; after a brief stint up at flyweight, she’s back down to 115lbs to try and recapture the throne she once sat at.

After a four-year hiatus, Tatiana Suarez returned at flyweight and made quick work of Montana De La Rosa. Now, she’s turned her sights back to capturing the strawweight crown and, should she make it through Andrade, she’ll make a great case as to why she’s only a fight or two away from a title shot.
