How to Bet UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate: Expert UFC Betting Picks Tonight
Sean Brady vs. Michael Chiesa
Undefeated prospect Sean Brady will be taking a big jump in competition when he takes on perennial top-10 contender Michael Chiesa. Brady is 4-0 in the UFC with two wins by decision and two wins by submission. His most recent win against Jake Matthews is his most impressive, which saw Brady win by third-round submission. Chiesa is coming off a first-round submission loss to Vincente Luque, however that was a fight he could have, and should have, won. Chiesa got into a dominant position and rushed a submission attempt, got reversed and eventually got submitted. It was very unlike Chiesa to rush and it should serve as a valuable learning experience. Both of these fighters will be trying to get the fight to the mat, and on the mat it will most likely be advantage Chiesa. On the feet, it will be advantage Brady, however, Chiesa will not let this fight stay standing long or he will be in for a long time. Chiesa is a crafty takedown artist and he should be able to get Brady to the mat. On the flip side, Brady should also be able to get Chiesa down, but that may not be his best path to victory because Chiesa is very crafty off his back. All things being equal, and despite being the underdog, Chiesa should win this fight. Getting plus-money on him in this spot is just a cherry on top. The vet will teach the prospect a valuable lesson this weekend.

Davey Grant vs. Adrian Yanez
In a matchup between exciting Bantamweights, Adrian Yanez will look to extend his perfect UFC record to 4-0 when he takes on Davey Grant. Yanez entered the UFC after earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series and proceeded to win his first three UFC fights over Victor Rodriguez, Gustavo Lopez, and Randy Costa all by knockout. Grant is coming off a decision loss to Chito Vera, but he won his three fights previous, including two by knockout. Despite winning three of his last four, Grant has been knocked down three times as well, but managed to recover in each. If Yanez knocks down Grant, chances are the fight will be over. Yanez is relentless when he smells blood in the water and will not let Grant off the hook like previous fighters. Yanez is currently -110 to win by TKO/KO and there is some serious equity in that, bet but the bettors should be willing to spend the extra 10 cents to cover submission as well. The chances of Yanez submitting Grant are fairly low, however, Grant does have three submission losses in the UFC so it is well worth the extra 10 cents to just bet Inside the Distance.
