McKinney vs Bonfim Prediction
Terrance McKinney has been putting on a show over the last few years, going 6-1 in his last seven fights with four victories by KO/TKO and two by submission. He now has the task of facing Ismael Bonfim, who's making his UFC PPV debut. Bonfim has rattled off 12 consecutive wins and looks to keep the momentum going in his home country.
This is the definition of a fight that could go either way. Having said that, I like Bonfim just a bit more. McKinney has looked great lately, but it was only two fights ago that he suffered a first -round TKO loss. Meanwhile, Bonfim has yet to be knocked out in his MMA career.
With the raucous Brazilian crowd in his corner, I see Bonfim leaving Jeunesse Arena on top.
McKinney vs Bonfim Best Bet
With the odds being as close as they are, there's some decent value that comes with backing Bonfim on the moneyline. He hasn't lost a fight in nearly eight years and that sort of momentum will make it tough for McKinney to finish him off.
While I'm listing Bonfim winning outright as the best bet due to how close t he odds are, I'd also be comfortable betting on him winning by KO/TKO at +250.
