UFC on ESPN 23 Cutelaba vs. Jacoby: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Cutelaba 15-6-0 | Jacoby 14-5-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
CUTELABA (-125) looks to stop a two-bout losing skid. Both were against Magomed Ankalaev, ande was knocked out in both of those outings, including a loss just 38 seconds into the first meeting Feb. 29, 2020.
Each of his past six fights finished inside the distance, with three wins via knockout. As such, CUTELABA BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+105) is a good play on the 5-way line, too.

Over/Under (O/U)
Jacoby went the distance in three of his last four fights, with his lone stoppage coming Oct. 31, 2020 in a KO/TKO over Justin Ledet. He hasn't faced a talent like Cutelaba since arriving at the UFC level, however, and will have a hard time making it past the second round.
UNDER 1.5 ROUNDS (-115) is worth playing, as Cutelaba doesn't hop into the octagon just looking to hang around. He wants to end things, and he wants to end them early.
