Loma Lookboonmee was a heavy betting favorite, so her UFC 284 win didn’t come as a surprise to the oddsmakers. The method of victory, however, defied the lines.
In a strawweight bout on Saturday’s prelims at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Lookboonmee (8-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC), a muay thai standout, submitted Elise Reed (6-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) by rear-naked choke at 0:44 of Round 2.
Lookboonmee by submission was a +1463 on average across major online sports books, according to Best Fight Odds.
