And the octagon is on the road, meaning we\u2019re getting a solid fight card. UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs Borralho goes down in the Accor Arena in Paris, France, on Saturday night, with French fighters in the top two fights. For my MMA Main Card Pick of the Week: UFC Paris, I\u2019m not in on a French fighter, but instead a Lithuanian-British one.

Bukauskas is strong everywhere and should be able to batter Craig on the feet and\/or the ground, if needed. And Bukauskas has only been submitted once in his career, nine years ago, so he should be able to stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>UFC Paris Main Card Pick: Modestas Bukauskas ML (-318)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SGPN Daily Content for Aug 31st, 2025<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/31\/mlb-nrfi-and-yrfi-picks-august-31st\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MLB NRFI &amp; YRFI Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/31\/underdog-fantasy-dfs-picks-for-august-31st\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Underdog Fantasy Daily DFS Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/29\/pro-kabaddi-league-betting-pick-degens-only-play-of-the-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Degens Only Play of the Day<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/30\/best-bet-for-sunday-august-31st-us-open-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/30\/sgpn-prop-bet-for-sunday-august-31st-mlb-prop-play\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prop of the Day<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/30\/wnba-predictions-preview-for-sunday-august-31st\/\" 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 Paris,\u00a0check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/podcasts\/mma-gambling-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Gambling Podcast<\/a>.
