Charles Oliveira against Islam Makhachev

We are thrilled about Oliveira’s +140 cash line. He has defeated top contenders Gaethje, Poirier and Charles back-to-back-to-back. Makhacehv has only fought one fighter in the top ten and two in top fifteen. Charles defeated #2, 3, 5. TKO and Sub will not consider Charles because it is only +15 above the moneyline. Bet on Oliveira to win with the easy money. Check out how to bet on the UFC.

Take Oliviera @ +140 to win on a money line.

Betting Strategies

First, do your research. Styles can make it difficult to win. Look out for matches that are similar in style.

Potential earnings

The payoffs for betting on Oliveira at the main event are significant. I believe he will win. As an example, Oliveira is favored by more than +140 to win as the odds are calculated a few days prior to the fight. The best bet is to bet Oliveira wins, which gives you odds of +140. A 100-dollar wager pays 140 dollars and you also get the 100 dollars back.

Fighting undercard

Aljamain Sterling -175 vs TjDillashaw +145

Dillashaw will be defending his seventh title. Sterling won by a split decision in the April title defense. Sterling’s performance against Cory Sandhagen was impressive despite Dillashaw having the experience advantage. Sterling has competed at a championship-level level more often than Sterling. Dillashaw beat Cory Sandhagen by a split decision in July last year.

Dillashaw has never been submitted during his UFC career. Dillashaw, a great grappler, emphasized grappling in his training footage prior to the Sterling fight. Sterling has many advantages, including his momentum and age. The champion has won seven consecutive fights since 2017. Dillashaw was defeated in 2016 by Dillashaw. Dillashaw won one fight last year.

Sterling Money Line

Sterling is supported by the UFC 280 odds in nearly every category. Dillashaw is approaching 40 and isn’t capable of handling the bantamweight cut.

Petr Yan -275 in favor of Sean O’Malley 215

UFC 280 betting odds shows O’Malley’s rapid rise coming to an abrupt halt. Yan leads in betting odds wins via submission, points and TKO. O’Malley may be a powerful fighter, but Yan has never been knocked out or dropped during his MMA career.

O’Malley fans should be concerned about O’Malley facing the #3 Bantamweight. O’Malley is currently #11. He has yet to meet any of the top 15 fighters. O’Malley beat Paiva (4-4 UFC), but hasn’t won any other major fights. He lost to Vera in 2020, which was a disappointment. O’Malley’s abilities to knock out any relevant athlete is yet unknown.

Yan wins easily

We aren’t certain if we will be placing a wager in one direction or another but the money line is perfect for parlay betting. This fight has the best odds of Oliveira vs Makhachev. It’s not even known by the fans.
