Pedro Munhoz vs. Sean O'Malley UFC 276 Prediction, Pick and Odds (O'Malley's Next Big Test)

Sean O'Malley is one of the most electric fighters in the UFC today.

The bantamweight stands tall, has exotic hair, and boasts some serious knockout power. O'Malley suffered a set back to Marlon Vera in 2020, but has returned to make it look easy en route to three straight victories, albeit lower quality. Now, he faces Pedro Munhoz, who has dropped two straight to some of the best Bantamweights in the world in Dominick Cruz and Jose Aldo. Can he get on track against an upstart in O'Malley, or is Munhoz heading towards the twilight of his career?

Here are the odds for this exciting main card bout at UFC 276 from WynnBET Sportsbook:

Pedro Munhoz vs. Sean O'Malley Odds, Total

Pedro Munhoz vs. Sean O'Malley Prediction and Pick

O'Malley is rightfully favored, sporting a five inch height advantage and seven more inches of reach, but there's a case for Munhoz to pull an upset.

'The Young Punisher' is known for his calf kicks that can sap the power of O'Malley, who to this point, is a knockout artist and nothing more. While he is going to need to take some damage to get inside, the veteran Munhoz is as durable as they come. At 19-7, the Brazilian has never been finished in his career.

O'Malley is still unproven going long into fights against real competition and this can go sideways late. I see some value in taking Munhoz, but this seems like a fight destined for the scorecards either way.

If Munhoz's durability holds up early, O'Malley will be in unfamiliar territory and it may be enough for the Brazilian to grow into the match and take over late.

LEAN: Munhoz ML +225, OVER 2.5 Rounds -125
