UFC Tampa Best Betting Props, Parlays And Picks
These picks were for the Tampa card on December 14, 2024, so they are historical. The main-event over 4.5 rounds did not hit: Joaquin Buckley stopped Colby Covington by doctor’s stoppage at 4:42 of Round 3.
Two of the listed bout picks were correct: Davey Grant beat Ramon Taveras by unanimous decision, and Michael Johnson knocked out Ottman Azaitar in Round 2. The picks of Billy Quarantillo and Josefine Knutsson missed: Cub Swanson knocked out Quarantillo in Round 3, while Piera Rodriguez beat Knutsson by unanimous decision. Since the main-event prop and Quarantillo pick both missed, the listed three-leg parlay did not hit. The official scorecards and event results record the outcomes.
How the Tampa picks finished
The results split the original selections into two winning fighter picks and three losing selections, counting the main-event rounds prop separately. Grant’s victory came over three rounds, while Johnson’s knockout provided a finish before the judges were needed. Those successful individual calls did not rescue the combined ticket: a parlay requires every included leg to win.
Swanson’s right-hand knockout arrived at 1:36 of the third round, overturning the Quarantillo selection in the co-main event. Rodriguez’s win over Knutsson was decisive on the cards, with all three judges scoring it 30–27. The contrast between a late finish and a unanimous decision illustrates why a fighter prediction and a method or duration prediction need separate evaluation when reviewing an event.
These historical selections relate to that completed event and its particular matchups.
