Saturday’s UFC 266 main card at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will be spearheaded by the featherweight title bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega, but also includes a women’s flyweight title bout between Valentina Shevchenko and Lauren Murphy. Below we take a look at the best bets for UFC 266: Volkanovski vs. Ortega main card, with MMA picks and predictions.
The main card will be available in pay-per-view from 10:00 p.m. ET, with the early preliminary rounds being streamed on ESPN from 6:00 p.m. ET.
I think Andrade (-240) will win this fight, but I’m not ready to bet almost two and a half times my possible return, and neither should you.
Check out ANDRADE instead BY POINTS (145) in the Method of Victory, as Calvillo usually manages to hang around and let the judges decide their fate. It won’t go Calvillo’s way, but she will get Andrade to work for it.
NO (-190): WILL THE FIGHT GO OVER THE DISTANCE? is the game because I like Blaydes for the knockout win. I also like UNDER 1.5 ROUNDS (135) on plus money.
Rozenstruik was knocked out in just 20 seconds at UFC 249, and in his six KO / TKO wins at UFC level, he has three times in round 1 won. No matter which direction it goes, it will go quickly.
NO (102): WILL THE FIGHT GO OVER THE DISTANCE? is the game as I just don’t see Diaz having five rounds on his return. Yes, Lawler has seen four of his last five fights over the distance, but those fights have not been against an aging fighter returning after a long hiatus.
Beyond that, playing UNDER 3.5 ROUNDS (122) also seems like to be pretty strong worth. If you want to be more precise about the method of victory, it is also an easy bet to play LAWLER BY TKO / KO (205) for the chance of doubling.
No (-270): Will the Fight over the distance? is a bit too expensive for my taste. Instead, I prefer a two-round block.
Take SHEVCHENKO IN ROUND 3 (650) and SHEVCHENKO IN ROUND 4 (1000). If the champion wins in rounds 3-4 you will lose one end, but you are still way ahead.
Additionally, playing OVER 2.5 ROUNDS (-130) is worth a look. Shevchenko will win, but Murphy is no pushover. She will get the champion to work for it before her hand is raised.
I think this fight is the distance, and YES (-145): WILL THE BATTLE GO THE DISTANCE? is a great game.
Volkanovski has run the distance in each of his last three fights and six of his previous eight fights. Ortega’s last fight against The Korean Zombie was also over the distance.
