Cage Warriors 116 Betting Odds
At the moment of writing, online sportsbooks still haven’t released their Cage Warriors 116 betting odds. Still, you can be sure the odds are going to be very attractive, considering that most of these bouts see two fighters of similar quality going toe-to-toe.
Cage Warriors 116 Betting Preview
Morgan Charriere vs Max Coga Preview
We’ll start our Cage Warriors 116 betting previews with a title bout. The Morgan Charriere vs Max Coga is a battle for the vacant Featherweight Championship belt. German fighter Coga is currently ranked #1 in this division, with a career record of 22-6-1. His opponent is #3 in the rankings, with a professional record of 15-7-1.
Obviously, Coga seems like a slight favorite, but Charriere is a rising talent, who, at the age of 24, has a bright future ahead of him. To make himself a prospect for the UFC, The Last Pirate needs to demonstrate his talent and Cage Warriors 116 seems like a perfect opportunity for that.
He’s got the skills, as well as the physique to win the title. Still, knowing how dangerous his opponent is, Morgan needs to be careful. Coga is a master when it comes to submissions (11 subs in his pro career), so caution is advised. What this means is that if Morgan Charriere is going to win this, he’s going to have to take it to the distance. That said, the method of victory in this bout should be the points.
Our Morgan Charriere vs Max Coga betting prediction:
- Morgan Charriere to win by points
Mason Jones vs Adam Proctor Preview
The second title bout in the fight card is Mason Jones vs Adam Proctor bout. The lightweight king Mason Jones is going up a weight class with the intention of adding another championship belt to his collection. The top welterweight contender Adam Proctor will try to ruin his plans.
The Welsh fighter is still without a defeat with a 9-0 record in his professional career. However, Jones has never fought in this division. Proctor, on the other hand, is a welterweight veteran. The English fighter doesn’t have a flawless record as his opponent, but Proctor is not far from it. So far, he’s lost only one fight, but that was a long, long time ago. There’s no doubt this is going to be a close fight. It could go either way, but our pick is going to be Mason Jones.
Our Mason Jones vs Adam Proctor betting prediction:
- Mason Jones to win
Paul Hughes vs Aidan Stephen Preview
Paul Hughes is an undefeated Irish fighter, who’s trying to add 6th win to his fighting portfolio. His potential victim is a Scottish fighter called Aidan Stephen, whose career record is 7-2. He is currently #13 in the Featherweight rankings, which is much closer to the top than Hughes who’s #28. Nevertheless, Hughes seems like the new star of the promotion, so we can see him remaining without a defeat for at least a while longer.
Our Paul Hughes vs Aidan Stephen betting prediction:
- Paul Hughes to win
Joshua Onwordi vs Jack Collins Preview
Joshua Onwordi is a still a new kid on the block, with only two bouts fought in the Cage Warriors. He won one and lost one. He is taking on a slightly more experienced fighter, Jack Collins (3-1), who’s also ranked better than him in the lightweight ranking. Nevertheless, Onwordi is an intelligent fighter who should be able to take this bout to the final bell. If he manages to do that, he’ll probably be declared the winner.
Our Joshua Onwordi vs Jack Collins betting prediction:
- Joshua Onwordi to win by points
Steve Aimable vs Jordan Vucenic Preview
Steve Aimable is #8 in the featherweight rankings, but he has seven defeats in his career (14-7). Jordan Vucenic, on the other hand, has only one loss, but is #18 in the rankings. What this means is that we should get some really long odds on Vucenic, which screams value!
Our Steve Aimable vs Jordan Vucenic betting prediction:
- Jordan Vucenic to win by knockout
Kyle McClurkin vs Christian Leroy Duncan Preview
Christian Leroy Duncan is making his Cage Warriors debut against Kyle McClurkin (3-1). Because Duncan is a newcomer, you would think that we have no idea what he’s like inside the cage. However, this guy has been fighting as an amateur since 2015 and is ranked very high in those circles.
Still, Kyle McClurkin needs to be thought of as the favorite in this fight. Not only is he more experienced, but this guy seems to be in a hot streak, with three straight wins since making his professional debut in 2017.
Our Kyle McClurkin vs Christian Leroy Duncan betting prediction:
- Kyle McClurkin to win
Kieran Lister vs Tom Mearns Preview
Kieran Lister is a clear favorite in this fight, considering that he’s without a loss in his pro career, with six wins and one draw. Tom Mearns, on the other hand, has lost four, while winning six professional fights.
Our Kieran Lister vs Tom Mearns betting prediction:
- Kieran Lister to win
Sam Creasey vs Nicolas Leblond Preview
Sam Creasey is a UK-based fighter, who’s currently #2 in the flyweight rankings. That makes the 32-year-old the highest-ranked UK fighter in the division (#1 is Daniel Barez from Spain). He’s taking on a French fighter Nicolas Leblond, who’s #20. It’s obvious that Creasey is expected to win this one.
Our Sam Creasey vs Nicolas Leblond betting prediction:
- Sam Creasey to win
Best Cage Warriors 116 Betting Picks
Unlike the UFC where the world’s most famous MMA fighters compete, Cage Warriors events often feature fighters who don’t have much experience in professional fighting. That said, finding info about those fighters is not easy, making Cage Warriors betting pretty difficult.
For this reason, the FatCatBet urges you not to bet too much money on bouts lower in the fight card. If you want to make money, you better focus on title fights. That said, our Cage Warriors 116 betting suggestion is to put your money on Charriere and Proctor. For other fights, you better put them in a 5/6 system bet.
