Harris vs Tybura UFC prediction and betting pick
PREDICTION: Walt Harris by KO/TKO (+310) - Tybura is the more well-rounded fighter but Harris has the edge in power and will likely have the advantage in the early going before gassing out.
Don't forget that before his recent four-fight winning streak, Tybura had a five-fight stretch where he went just 1-4, with three of those defeats coming by way of knockout. He also ate some big punches from Hardy in his previous bout before turning the tide in the second round by relying on his wrestling.
Before Harris' recent two-fight skid, he had back-to-back first-round knockouts over well-rounded heavyweights Aleksei Oleinik and Sergey Spivak.
All 13 of Harris' career wins have come by KO/TKO within the first two rounds. And while Tyubura has a solid chance of wearing him down over 15 minutes, there's also a decent chance that Harris knocks out his opponent early. That puts the betting value on this method to win prop at +310.
