Tony Ferguson looks to extend his winning streak to 13 fights when he takes on Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 249 on Saturday, May 9. Ferguson is a -190 favorite (risk $190 to win $100), while Gaethje is a +160 underdog. Before you make any UFC 249 picks of your own, you NEED to hear what MMA expert Brandon Wise has to say.
A CBS Sports editor specializing in MMA, Wise has been dissecting the sport for five years. He specializes in picking main-card fights for UFC, which has enabled him to be profitable every year! Wise went a perfect 5-0 at UFC 239 and 4-1 at UFC 245. He also nailed Khabib Nurmagomedov's destruction of Conor McGregor in 2018, Stipe Miocic's upset of Daniel Cormier and Max Holloway's downfall in 2019. Across UFC 247 and UFC 248, Wise went 7-3 with his main-card picks, returning healthy profits for anyone following them.
For UFC 249, we can tell you Wise is backing Yorgan De Castro (+150) to upset Greg Hardy (-175) in a heavyweight bout. He's also backing a fighter whose "explosiveness" will propel him to a decisive victory! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making your picks.
