Diego Ferreira vs Billy Quarantillo best bet: Ferreira to win by KO/TKO (+240)
Ferreira by KO/TKO/DQ is my best bet. Quarantillo getting stopped by Cub Swanson two years ago raised legitimate concerns about his durability, and now he'll be returning from a lengthy layoff while moving up in weight.
Ferreira’s power and Brazilian jiu-jitsu credentials give Quarantillo few safe avenues to dictate the fight. Quarantillo will resort to trading, giving Ferreira an easy route to a stoppage.
COVERS INTEL: Diego Ferreira has five knockouts in 12 UFC finishes, while Quarantillo has been stopped in three of his last five losses.Diego Ferreira vs Billy Quarantillo odds
