I say \u201capparently\u201d because it\u2019s being advertised as a big deal PPV, but that gets put into question when you look at the actual fight lineup. No title fights (unless you fall for the BMF Title nonsense). Not even a #1 contender fight. But will we still make money off the fights? Damn right. For my MMA Parlay of the Week: UFC 318,\u00a0 I\u2019m parlaying my two favorite plays for the event.

Both guys have struggled in the UFC, but Prado is 13 years younger than Veretennikov, is a better grappler, and has finished all 12 of his pro wins inside the distance (six knockouts, six submissions).<\/p>\n<p>Gumby\u2019s pick, which I\u2019m in on as well, is light heavyweight Jimmy Crute to beat Marcin Prachnio on Saturday\u2019s early prelims. Once again, these are a couple of guys who have struggled lately, but the glaring issue here for Prachnio is that he can not stop a takedown. And Crute is a grappling specialist with good submission skills.<\/p>\n<p>UFC 318 Parlay: Francisco Prado ML + Jimmy Crute ML\u00a0 (+134)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SGPN Daily Content for July 19th, 2024<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/17\/mlb-nrfi-and-yrfi-picks-july-18th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MLB NRFI &amp; YRFI Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/17\/underdog-fantasy-dfs-picks-for-july-18th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Underdog Fantasy Daily DFS Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/17\/nba-summer-league-predictions-preview-for-friday-july-18th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NBA Summer League Daily Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/18\/mma-regional-pick-of-the-week-pfl-africa-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMA Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/17\/best-bet-for-friday-july-18th-mlb-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/18\/sgpn-prop-bet-for-saturday-july-19th-ufc-prop-play\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prop of the Day<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/07\/18\/wnba-predictions-preview-for-saturday-july-19th-all-star-game-best-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">WNBA Best Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t Forget About our Free Picks Pages Too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nba-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NBA PICKS \u2013 UPDATED DAILY<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/odds.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/college-basketball-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">COLLEGE BASKETBALL PICKS \u2013 THE PICKS POWERHOUSE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nhl-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NHL PICKS \u2013 LET IT SLIDE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/soccer-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SOCCER PICKS \u2013 KICK IT ON THE PITCH<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nascar-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NASCAR PICKS \u2013 FEEL THE THUNDER<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/ufc-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">UFC PICKS \u2013 TAKE DOWN CORPORATE GAMBLING<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like even more info to help make your MMA and UFC picks and predictions for UFC 318, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/podcasts\/mma-gambling-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Gambling Podcast<\/a>.
