Here is our favorite 4-fight parlay for this card, with odds of +344 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Be sure to check out the rest of our UFC Fight Night 215 predictions for the 5-fight Main Card.
Derrick Lewis vs Serghei Spivac – Fight to end by KO/TKO (-250)
Serghei Spivac is a heavy favorite in this fight, likely because he is the more balanced fighter. However, Derrick Lewis can never be counted out due to his immense power. Lewis has seen 28 of his 36 career fights end by KO/TKO, which includes his last 6 UFC fights in a row. Spivac has seen 9 of his 18 career fights end by KO/TKO, which includes his last 3 UFC fights in a row. Because they both can end a fight with a single punch, backing this fight to end by KO/TKO will be the play.
Kennedy Nzechukwu ML over Ion Cutelaba (-175)
Kennedy Nzechukwu comes into this fight with an MMA record of 10-3. He is 6-3 in the UFC, most recently beating Karl Roberson by KO/TKO back in July of this year. Nzechukwu is averaging 4.68 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 44%. He is absorbing 4.36 strikes and has a striking defense of 51%. His grappling has been decent, averaging 0.79 takedowns per every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 62% and his takedown defense is 81%.
Nzechukwu is a sizable favorite in this fight, which makes sense given the fact that Ion Cutelaba has been inconsistent in the UFC. Cutelaba is just 1-4-1 in his last 6 UFC fights, and all of those losses have come by finish. Nzechukwu has plenty of ways to win this fight, so backing him to win will be the play.
Waldo Cortes-Acosta over Chase Sherman (-225)
Waldo Cortes-Acosta comes into this fight with an MMA record of 8-0. He is 2-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Jarad Vanderaa by unanimous decision back in October of this year. Cortes-Acosta is averaging 6.21 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 46%. He is absorbing 3.80 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%. He has yet to show any grappling ability through 2 UFC fights, but he does have a takedown defense of 100%.
Cortes-Acosta may be a significant favorite in this fight, but he looks to be the right side. Chase Sherman is 1-4 in his last 5 UFC fights, therefore backing Cortes-Acosta will be the play.
Jack Della Maddalena Win by Finish over Danny Roberts (-250)
Jack Della Maddalena comes into this fight with an MMA record of 12-2. He is 3-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Ramazan Emeev by KO/TKO back in June of this year. Della Maddalena is averaging 8.24 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 49%. He is absorbing 4.68 strikes and has a striking defense of 65%. His grappling will likely not play a huge factor, but he does defend takedowns 66% of the time.
Della Maddalena is easily the biggest favorite on this card, making his money line too risky to play. He has however, won 11 of his 12 career fights by finish, so for that reason, backing him to win by finish will be the play.
