While the UFC continues to be the king when it comes to MMA and gambling, there is more MMA than ever to bet on now. Promotions all over the world as well as domestic ones are showing up in sportsbooks. The advantage here is that the data is usually quite a bit less sharp than when you’re making MMA predictions for the UFC. So we’ve decided to dig into some each week to get you started on your regional MMA journey. This week we head overseas for Oktagon 70 from Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic for our regional MMA pick.

MMA Regional Pick of the Week: Oktagon 70
Oktagon Middleweight Fight: Ion Surdu vs Krzysztof Jotko
Card Start Time: Saturday (4/26), 12:00pm EST (Oktagon TV)
This is one of those lines that you can tell is manipulated by people who exclusively watch the UFC. Krzysztof Jotko had a fruitful career in the UFC before parting ways with the organization. However, he was always a guy wasn’t very dangerous and cruised to a lot of decisions with his wrestling.
Surdu marks a bad matchup for him as he does a great job at stuffing the wrestling. On top of that, he has incredible finishing power, which we saw when he won the Oktagon welterweight title. While this is up a weight class for him, I feel like his style and speed should make him a massive favorite in this one. The UFC past of Jotko is holding his number down for now and making him a tremendous value.
