Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway – Fight to go the Distance – Yes (+120)
The Main Event at UFC 308 will see Ilia Topuria take on Max Holloway in the Featherweight Division and will be for the UFC Featherweight title.
Topuria is the clear favorite, making his money line too risky to bet. Instead, we will be looking for this fight to go the distance. Admittingly, Topuria has only seen 2 of his 7 UFC fights go the distance, but Holloway has seen eight of his last 10 UFC fights go the distance. He also rarely loses by finish and is known for having an iron chin. This fight should be back and forth and while Topuria should be able to retain his title, backing this fight to go the distance will be our best bet.

UFC 308 Preliminary Card Best Bets
Ibo Aslan ML vs. Raffael Cerqueira (-108)
Ibo Aslan enters this fight with an MMA record of 13-1 and he is 2-0 in the UFC. He averages 6.83 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 45%. Aslan absorbs 4.53 strikes and has a striking defense of 64%. His grappling ability has yet to show up, but he has a striking defense of 100%.
Aslan is a slight underdog in this fight but looks to be a good bet to pull the upset. Raffael Cerqueira has never fought in the UFC, therefore backing Aslan to win will be our best bet.
Brunno Ferreira ML over Abus Magomedov (+120)
Brunno Ferreira enters this fight with an MMA record of 12-1 and he is 4-1 in the UFC. He averages 4.99 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 54%. Ferreira absorbs 4.04 strikes and has a striking defense of 50%. His grappling is also decent, averaging 0.89 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 16% and a takedown defense of 60%.
Abus Magomedov is the favorite in this fight, but Ferreira looks to be the better betting option. He has superior striking and while his grappling ability is not up to par, his takedown defense has been good enough to negate Magomedov’s advantage. For that reason, backing Ferreira to win will be our best bet.
