Anthony Hernandez to Win by Submission (+180)


Kicking off the main card action of UFC 298 with a banger between two of the fastest-rising fighters at 185lbs, back #15 Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez to score the submission victory against Roman Kopylov.

While the Russian striker Kopylov has strung together an impressive four-fight win streak all by way of knockout heading into this bout, look for him to struggle to gain an edge against the dangerous grappler, Hernandez.

Hernandez can not only hold his own in the stand-up game against Kopylov but he holds a distinct advantage on the ground. Having notched 7 of his 11 pro wins by way of submission, Hernandez has managed to tap out strong competition within the UFC such as Marc-Andre Barriault and Rodolfo Vieira.

Back Hernandez to play to his strengths in this main card opener, submitting Kopylov as he continues to cement himself as a threat in the middleweight division, and starting your UFC 298 betting off on the right foot with this juicy prop bet.



Henry Cejudo to Win by Decision (+350)


Set to bounce back in a big way after falling short of UFC Gold in his last time out, look for #3 Henry “Triple C” Cejudo to pull off the upset win against #2 Merab “The Machine” Dvalishvili.

In a clash between two of the best wrestlers in the entire UFC, look for this bout to be decided by who has the striking advantage. Having demonstrated a robust ability to damage opponents on the feet, Cejudo is clearly the more dangerous fighter in the stand-up.

While Dvalishvili has become notorious for his non-stop pressure and grappling prowess, look for this to be negated by the Olympic Gold medalist wrestler Cejudo, as he stifles his takedown attempts and turns this fight into a brawl.

Once the fight is on the feet, Cejudo will have no trouble working Dvalshvili over the course of three rounds, breaking him down with his well-rounded skillset, while the Georgian fighter struggles to find offence.

Bank on Cejudo to take the win on the judges scorecards, defeating Dvalishvili by decision, and earning you a massive payday with this moneymaking prop bet.

Geoff Neal to Win by KO/TKO/DQ (+350)


Primed to silence the big mouth of #10 Ian “The Future” Machado Garry, back #8 Geoff “Handz of Steel” Neal by way of KO/TKO/DQ in their upcoming bout at UFC 298.

While Machado Garry has looked promising at times throughout his 13-0 run as a professional fighter, watch as he tastes defeat for the first time as he faces his toughest test to date in Neal. Having built a career on testing rising stars in the UFC, Machado Garry would not be the first “Future Champion” to have his hype train derailed by Handz of Steel.

With Machado Garry having shown his suspect chin in the past, look for the heavy hands of Neal to do serious damage when they connect, leaving the Irishman down and out inside of this three-round bout.

Hammer Neal to pull off the upset win over Machado Garry, handing him his first career loss, while simultaneously boosting your bankroll thanks to the mouth-watering value offered by this prop bet.



Robert Whittaker VS Paolo Costa Over 2.5 Total Rounds (-160)


In a huge clash between top contenders in the UFC middleweight division, look for #3 Robert “The Reaper” Whittaker VS #6 Paolo “Borrachinha” Costa to go Over 2.5 rounds in this highly-anticipated throwdown.

As both combatants look to turn the corner as they look to earn another crack at UFC Gold, expect to see a highly-competitive scrap between to of the most decorated strikers at 185lbs.

With Whittaker having gone the distance in five of his last six bouts, while Costa has done the same in three of his last four, it’s clear that neither fighter will be chasing the finish in this high-stakes matchup.

Bet the Over on the total rounds in Whittaker VS Costa as these two feared strikers go back-and-forth in what is sure to be an electric matchup, resulting in the bout reaching the 2:30 mark of the third round in order to cash your tickets.

Alexander Volkanovski to Win by Decision (+240)


Set to continue cementing his legacy as the greatest Featherweight to ever grace the UFC octagon, bank on (C) Alexander “The Great” Volkanovski to derail the championship dreams of surging contender #3 Ilia “El Matador” Topuria in tonight’s main event.

After suffering a brutal knockout loss on short notice to Lightweight Champion, and #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world Islam Makhachev, look for Volkanovski to bounce back in a big way as he scores he decisive victory against Topuria.

While Topuria has proven himself to be the most legitimate threat to Volkanovski’s throne in quite some time, his game simply isn’t as well-rounded when compared to the reigning champ. With Topuria relying on his quick striking ability, he may wind up in a firefight with an equally dangerous striker for the first time and pay the price accordingly.

Having performed at the biggest stage, under the brightest lights on a multitude of occasions, look for Volk to be comfortable and calculated inside the octagon while Topuria may have trouble maintinaing success over five-rounds.

Bank on Volkanovski to defend his title successfully as he defeats Topuria by decision, making this his sixth-consecutive title defence, and capping off your UFC 298 betting experience with a big-time win.
