Parlay Both UFC 311 Favorites For -130 Odds

Method of victory props for the co-main event expect the fight to end in a decision. There are +350 odds for Merab to defend his title with a win by decision, while Nurmagomedov has -110 odds to win by decision.
Merab vs Nurmagomedov Method of Victory Props
Fighter | KO, TKO or DQ Odds | Submission Odds | Decision or Technical Decision Odds |
---|---|---|---|
Merab Dvalishvili | +1000 | +2200 | +350 |
Umar Nurmagomedov | +650 | +375 | -110 |
Merab gets a horrible matchup in Nurmagomedov, who will be a difficult opponent to use his offensive grappling style against. Nurmagomedov hasn’t been taken down yet in a UFC fight and has powerful hands that could end the fight before it goes to decision.
Betting Nurmagomedov to knockout Merab at +650 legal California sports betting odds is worth a shot to send the Intuit Dome into a frenzy.
Still, the best bet is to parlay Makhachev, a guy who hasn’t lost in 10 years and seeks a fourth-consecutive title defense, with Nurmagomedov to win at -130 odds.
