He specializes in picking main-card fights for UFC, which has enabled him to be profitable every year! In fact, Wise went a perfect 5-0 at UFC 239 and was 4-1 at both UFC 245 and UFC 249. He also nailed Khabib Nurmagomedov's destruction of Conor McGregor in 2018, Stipe Miocic's defeat of Daniel Cormier, Max Holloway's downfall in 2019 and Gaethje's TKO victory over Tony Ferguson in May. 

Since the UFC returned following a period of inactivity due to the coronavirus pandemic, Wise has gone 65-39-2 while nailing the method of victory 47 times!  At UFC 256, Wise went 4-0-1 (the main event was a draw) and correctly nailed the method of victory in three of those winners! Those selections included calling a decision victory for Charles Oliveira (+145) against Tony Ferguson (-165) in the lightweight co-main event. At UFC 257, he correctly called a stoppage victory for Makhmud Muradov (-145) against Andrew Sanchez (+125) in a matchup of middleweight prospects on the main card.  

For UFC 258, we can tell you Wise is backing Ian Heinisch (+185) to pull the upset of Kelvin Gastelum (-215) in a meeting of middleweight contenders. He's also backing an underdog who "will throw nothing but bombs" and come away with an epic TKO!
