Williams vs Sherman Prediction
The losses have piled up for Chase Sherman, who's found himself on the losing side in five of his previous six fights. He was originally supposed to face Chris Barnett at UFC 287, but the latter pulled out due to undisclosed reasons. Now Sherman must go up against Karl Williams – a winner of five consecutive fights.
I can't argue against oddsmakers in this fight. While Sherman has solid finishing skills, Williams is great at avoiding getting hit, absorbing just 0.9 significant strikes per minute with 53% striking defense. He also outclasses Sherman on the mat, averaging 5.5 takedowns per 15 minutes wit h 68% accuracy and a 100% takedown defense rate.
Sherman hasn't done anything to inspire confidence over the last two years, so look for Williams to get the win as a replacement fighter.
Williams vs Sherman Best Bet
Unfortunately, the moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a'Williams outright win at -480 odds'the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC 287 for more playable options.
