Wright vs Pauga Prediction

Jordan Wright stumbles into UFC Vegas 69 with a 1-4 record in his last five fights. He's been finished before the end of the second round in each of his last three outings, most recently succumbing to a TKO loss courtesy of Dusko Todorovic at UFC Vegas 62.

It'll be interesting to see how Wright handles Zac Pauga, who is coming off a knockout loss to Mohammed Usman in his UFC debut. Both fighters average similar striking numbers, however, Pauga absorbs fewer significant strikes per minute (2.14) with better defense (70%) compared to Wright (7.54 and 32%, respectively).

With how decisively he's been defeated lately, I don't see Wright getting his arm raised this weekend. Pauga will bounce back in Vegas before moving on to bigger and better things.

Wright vs Pauga Best Bet

Unfortunately, the moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a'Pauga outright win at -330 odds'the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC Vegas 69 for more playable options.
