Justin Jaynes: Tale of the Tape

Justin Jaynes Debuts:

Justin Jaynes made his professional MMA debut in 2013 in ‘Big John’s MMA’ promotion.

Jaynes made his UFC debut at Lightweight, and has fought at Featherweight in the UFC as well.

Justin Jaynes UFC Record:

Justin Jaynes has only had three fights with professional odds posted, all three were in the UFC in 2020. Jaynes picked up the stoppage victory on 41 seconds over Frank Camacho at UFC Vegas 3, cashing as a heavy +260 underdog. Jaynes was rewarded a performance of the night bonus for that 1st round win. Jaynes then followed it up two months later with yet another performance of the night. However, this time Jaynes picked up the L in a coin-flip fight against Gavin Tucker, getting stopped by Tucker in the 3rd round, via a rear-naked choke. Jaynes finished his 2020 by taking on Gabriel Benitez, losing the fight as a +190 underdog via a first round knee to the body.

The most profitable way to bet against Justin Jaynes in his UFC career has been on his opponent to win ‘Inside the Distance’, Jaynes tapped to Gavin Tucker back in August, who cashed at +333, while his most recent loss to Gabriel Benitez saw ‘Moggly’ cash at +160 on the ‘Inside the Distance’ prop. Bettors who have backed Justin Jaynes opponent on the ‘Inside the Distance’ prop are up +3.95 units.

UFC Vegas 18: Justin Jaynes vs Devonte Smith

If you’re going to bet this fight, the best way to back Justin Jaynes in this one is by betting him on the straight-up moneyline. Justin Jaynes is a +246 underdog on the UFC odds board, and is lined at +325 to win ‘Inside the Distance’, his opponent Devonte Smith has only been finished once in his UFC career, which came in his last fight against the heavy underdog Khama Worthy.

If you’re going to back Devonte Smith in this one, you are paying a steep price on both the moneyline, and the ‘Inside the Distance’ prop. Justin Jaynes has been finished in 2 of his 3 UFC bouts, and Smith has won by stoppage in all 3 of his UFC victories. Since the market is seemingly priced out on Devonte Smith, your best bet is to back the ‘Under 1.5’ rounds at -155, considering you are getting the same price on the ‘Inside the Distance’ prop as you are on the Under, thus protecting yourself incase Justin Jaynes pulls off the upset victory.
