SportsLine's Daniel Vithlani just revealed his UFC 285: Jones vs. Gane best bets and props for Saturday's fight in Las Vegas.
Araujo (11-4) is a versatile fighter who has four submissions and three knockouts on her resume. He's also backing a fighter who "is an absolute technician" to emerge with a dominant victory. We'll share one of Vithlani's UFC 285 selections here: He is backing Amanda Ribas (-120) to get her hand raised against Viviane Araujo (+100) in a matchup of women's flyweight contenders on the preliminary card. Vithlani also has strong picks for Jones vs. In his last UFC appearance, Ngannou overcame an early two-round deficit and used his wrestling to earn a decision win over Gane (11-1), handing the French fighter his first professional defeat. "The real advantage in this fight is Ribas' grappling. But the 29-year-old Brazilian has dropped two of her past three and is hoping to bounce back from a split-decision defeat to Katlyn Chookagian last May. In the co-main event, women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko (-600) makes her eighth title defense when she meets Alexa Grasso (+450). Coincidentally, Gane has often been compared to Jones because of his athleticism, versatility and mastery of multiple disciplines. The 35-year-old New York native announced he was vacating the light heavyweight division to focus on a move to heavyweight with the goal of becoming a two-division champion. Others in the conversation include former welterweight champion Georges St.-Pierre and former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired with an undefeated record in 2020. He also trains amateur boxers and speaks regularly with MMA fighters to understand the sport's nuances.
