The underdogs had a very good day at UFC Orlando. A prompt during the UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Holland telecast showed that if an individual placed a parlay of $100 on the underdogs of six fights, they would have received an incredible sum of $43,359.
Roman Dolidze, Eryk Anders, Philip Rowe, Angela Hill, Clay Guida, and Michael Johnson were placed as the underdogs by the bettors. They all ended up winning their fights. So, a parlay bet on these six fighters would have garnered astronomical returns.
