Best Bets For UFC 314: Volk Vs. Diego Lopes, Paddy Vs. Chandler

There are +125 odds for Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes to go the distance.
Turn a profit if Paddy Pimblett wins by TKO or submission.

MIAMI – The UFC is returning to South Beach for UFC 314 and there is a loaded main and co-main event here and there are plus money odds with plenty of value across the board.

In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski is favored on legal sports betting sites to beat Diego Lopes in a featherweight bout that could see the winner go on to face Ilia Topuria for the division title. In the co-main event, one of the fastest rising fighters in the UFC, Paddy Pimblett goes up against Michael Chandler in the lightweight division.

Conservative Fight For Volk, Lopes Goes The Distance

Will The Fight Go The Distance?

Yes +125
No -165

Unfortunately, this is not shaping out to be the heavy hitting, explosive fight that many are expecting from a Volk fight. The former champ needs to play this one cool and conservative as he’s on the worst streak of his career having lost three of his last four fights with his last two losses coming by KO/TKO.

Lopes, on the other hand, has been hot winning seven of his last eight bouts and his last two coming by decision.

With Lopes hot and Volk not looking to get finished for a third straight time, it’s safe to say that this fight could go the distance.

Turn Profit On Paddy To Finish KO/Sub

Paddy the Baddy should have no issue here against Michael Chandler. Pimblett is 6-0 in the UFC with three submission finishes and a KO/TKO finish. Chandler though has struggled in his six UFC fights going 2-4 and facing a submission and KO/TKO in two of those losses.

That said, betting on the method of victory for Paddy to either win by submission at +240 or KO/TKO at +260 could turn a profit regardless of which wins.

Betting $100 on both would profit a minimum of $40 if he were to finish Chandler inside the distance. The $40 profit would come if Pimblett wins by submission. Bettors would turn a profit of $60 on UFC betting sites if he were to win by KO/TKO.
