McKinney vs Sadykhov Prediction

Terrance McKinney finds himself needing a bounce-back win at UFC Vegas 77. After rattling off five straight victories, the former FSF Lightweight Champion has lost twice in his last three bouts. Even worse is that he was knocked out in each defeat, most recently losing to the debuting Ismael Bonfim in Round 2 at UFC 283.

Standing across from McKinney is the hard-hitting Nazim Sadykhov. The Azerbaijani competitor is on an eight-fight winning streak ahead of this weekend's festivities. He won his first two UFC bouts via KO/TKO, most recently knocking Evan Elder out five months ago.

I'm taking Sadykhov to win this weekend. McKinney has been getting beaten up often lately and now faces Sadykhov, who averages 5.17 significant strikes per minute with 52% accuracy and holds six knockout victories to his name.

It's going to be a hard-hitting fight, but the favorite has the striking ability to take advantage of the holes in McKinney's game.

Winner: Nazim Sadkyhov

McKinney vs Sadykhov Best Bet

The moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a Sadykhov outright win at -160 odds the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC Vegas 77 for more playable options.
