Saturday will mark UFC Vegas 109, which is headlined by a couple of middleweights looking to stake their claim to a top spot in the division.

However, one that has a lot of value on it is the fight between \u201cZombie Girl\u201d and \u201cLa Pantera\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Although Cachoeira was once a punchline to MMA jokes, she has carved out a pretty nice career in the UFC. She\u2019s 5-6 in the big leagues, but it\u2019s her bantamweight resume that I\u2019m riding here. I think she spent far too much energy trying to make flyweight and the results show when she\u2019s up a weight class. She\u2019s 2-1 in the UFC when up at her natural weight class. Additionally, she is 4-1 with four knockout victories in the weight class.<\/p>\n<p>Joselyne Edwards has been stuck duking it out on the feet with fighters before. Even if she shoots, Cachoeira has been good at defending takedowns at this weight class too. If it stays in the feet, I\u2019ll take the extra power and the fat underdog line.<\/p>\n<p>UFC Vegas 109 Prelim Pick: Priscila Cachoeira ML (+240)<\/p>\n<p>SGPN Daily Content for August 4th, 2025<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/04\/mlb-nrfi-and-yrfi-picks-august-4th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MLB NRFI &amp; YRFI Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/04\/underdog-fantasy-dfs-picks-for-august-4th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Underdog Fantasy Daily DFS Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/03\/mma-main-card-pick-of-the-week-ufc-vegas-109\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMA Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/03\/best-bet-for-monday-august-4th-mlb-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2025\/08\/03\/sgpn-prop-bet-for-monday-august-4th-mlb-prop-play\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prop of the Day<\/a><\/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>If you\u2019d like even more info to help make your MMA and UFC picks and predictions for UFC Vegas 109, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/podcasts\/mma-gambling-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Gambling Podcast<\/a>.
