His 58% striking accuracy combined with a 2.3 submission average makes him dangerous in every phase once the fight gets close. Oki counters with a massive volume advantage at 6.59 per minute and a 3-inch reach edge.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fighter Breakdown &ndash; Bolaji Oki Analysis<\/strong><\/h2><p>Oki comes in with a 10-3-0 record as one of the more exciting strikers on the prelim circuit. The 29 year old Belgian brings legitimate takedown ability to complement his striking.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Elite striking volume at 6.59 significant strikes per minute. Strong 61% striking defense. Solid takedown accuracy at 60% with a 1.01 average gives him a wrestling option Sousa lacks entirely. Three-inch reach advantage at 73&Prime;. Active and entertaining fighter who creates constant action.<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> Absorbs 5.15 significant strikes per minute. Poor 44% striking accuracy means he throws a lot but lands less than half. Zero submission offense. Three losses on his record show vulnerability when opponents find a game plan. No submission defense tested against elite-level ground work.<\/p><p><strong>Betting Angles:<\/strong> Oki&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+240 <\/a>moneyline offers genuine upset value if his volume overwhelms Sousa on the feet before a takedown or submission lands.

The 28 year old Brazilian is a fighter with serious finishing ability on the mat.<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Absorbs only 1.31 strikes per minute at 55% defense. Elite 58% striking accuracy means nearly every clean shot he lands matters. Dominant 2.3 submission average gives him multiple finishing paths. Near-perfect 13-1 record with just one blemish. 3 year age advantage is negligible but youth is on his side.<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> Zero takedown offense on record. Only 3.23 strikes per minute means he will be significantly outworked in pure volume exchanges. 62% takedown defense leaves him somewhat exposed to Oki&rsquo;s 60% accurate wrestling. His path to the ground is unconventional without traditional shot-taking in his game.<\/p><p><strong>Betting Angles:<\/strong> Sousa by KO\/TKO (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+195<\/a>) is our primary play.

Sousa&rsquo;s 2.3 submission average combined with Oki&rsquo;s complete absence of ground game creates a perpetual danger whenever exchanges get close.

Oki&rsquo;s 6.59 strikes per minute is relentless and even Sousa&rsquo;s elite defensive movement can be overwhelmed by sheer volume across fifteen minutes. If Oki clips Sousa early before the Brazilian settles into his rhythm, a stunning upset finish is possible.

Keep stakes at 0.5 units maximum.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prediction &ndash; Final Verdict<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Official Pick: Manoel Sousa by KO\/TKO<\/strong><\/p><p>We are backing Sousa to use his accuracy and finishing instincts to secure a stoppage. Oki will come out throwing at his typical pace, creating early activity and keeping Sousa on the back foot. But Sousa&rsquo;s 58% accuracy means every counter he lands is clean, and Oki&rsquo;s 5.15 strikes absorbed per minute baseline will be challenged severely.<\/p><p>Sousa&rsquo;s defensive movement keeps him relatively clean while he waits for the right moment. Oki&rsquo;s volume eventually creates an opening in his own guard, and Sousa&rsquo;s precise counter punching takes over. With no submission game to fall back on if the striking goes wrong, Oki has no safety net when the fight turns against him.<\/p><p>Sousa moves to 14-1 and announces himself as a legitimate lightweight contender worth watching, while Oki&rsquo;s limitations against elite opposition are exposed once again.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Bet UFC Vegas 114: Tips for This Card<\/strong><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Card Tips:<\/strong><\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sousa&rsquo;s 1.31 strikes absorbed per minute is the best defensive number among all prelim fighters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Josh Emmett vs Kevin Vallejos headlines the main card in a 5-round featherweight main event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vitor Petrino vs Steven Asplund features the most extraordinary statistical outlier of the evening in Asplund&rsquo;s 19.93 strikes per minute.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UFC Vegas 114 Fight Card<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Main Card (10:00 p.m. ET &ndash; Paramount+)<\/strong><\/p><p>Josh Emmett vs Kevin Vallejos &mdash; Featherweight bout, 5 rounds<\/p><p>Amanda Lemos vs Gillian Robertson &mdash; Women&rsquo;s Strawweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Ion Cu&#539;elaba vs Oumar Sy &mdash; Light Heavyweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Andre Fili vs Jose Miguel Delgado &mdash; Featherweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Marwan Rahiki vs Harry Hardwick &mdash; Featherweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Vitor Petrino vs Steven Asplund &mdash; Heavyweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p><strong>Prelims (07:00 p.m. ET &ndash; Paramount+)<\/strong><\/p><p>Charles Johnson vs Bruno Gustavo da Silva &mdash; Flyweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Brad Tavares vs Eryk Anders &mdash; Middleweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Chris Curtis vs Myktybek Orolbai &mdash; Welterweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Bolaji Oki vs Manoel Sousa &mdash; Lightweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Luan Lacerda vs Hecher Sosa &mdash; Bantamweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Beatriz Mesquita vs Montserrat Rendon &mdash; Women&rsquo;s Bantamweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Elijah Smith vs You Su-young &mdash; Bantamweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Piera Rodriguez vs Sam Hughes &mdash; Women&rsquo;s Strawweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p><em>Odds current as of March 13, 2026.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Per Haljestam &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-global mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Vegas 114&rsquo;s prelim card features a lightweight clash between Belgian striker Bolaji Oki and undefeated Brazilian submission specialist Manoel Sousa at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans.
