📊 UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2 odds - Main Card

Conor McGregor (22-6) vs. Max Holloway (27-9)

Conor McGregor notes:

• The Notorious returns: The former two-division champion fights for the first time since July 2021, when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, and moves up to welterweight for the rematch
• Key stat: Owns a 22-6 record built on left-hand knockout power but sits 1-3 since 2018, his last win a January 2020 TKO of Donald Cerrone

Max Holloway notes:

• Blessed: The former featherweight champion and reigning BMF titleholder makes his welterweight debut, having stayed active against the division's best while McGregor sat out
• Key stat: Lands 6.91 significant strikes per minute, among the highest volume in UFC history, and has gone 5-3 since 2021 with wins over Gaethje and Poirier

🩸 Betting outlook

Max kept fighting elite competition in Gaethje, Oliveira, and Poirier while McGregor last fought in 2021, when he broke his leg in Round 1. Play the Holloway moneyline (-235) or Holloway by KO (-125) for a shorter price.

Benoit Saint-Denis (17-3) vs. Paddy Pimblett (23-4)

Benoit Saint-Denis notes:

• God of War: The No. 5 lightweight and former French special forces soldier rides a four-fight finishing streak under coach Nicolas Ott, stopping Prepolec, Ruffy, Dariush, and Hooker
• Key stat: Has earned a finish in all 17 of his career wins and is 9-3 in the UFC lightweight division

Paddy Pimblett notes:

• The Baddy: The Liverpool star opened 2026 with the first loss of his UFC run, dropping an interim title fight to Justin Gaethje at UFC 324 that snapped a nine-fight Octagon win streak
• Key stat: Holds a 23-4 record and went 7-1 in the UFC before the Gaethje setback, headlined by a 2025 win over Michael Chandler

🩸 Betting outlook

Saint-Denis brings a power and grappling game that erases Pimblett's best path. Pimblett's toughness keeps him competitive, but the BSD moneyline (-145) is the play. I also like a half-unit on the fight to go over 2.5 rounds at +124 or longer.

Cory Sandhagen (18-6) vs. Mario Bautista (17-3)

Cory Sandhagen notes:

• The Sandman: The No. 4 bantamweight returns from a five-round title loss to Merab Dvalishvili and meets the man he submitted back in 2019 in a seven-year-later rematch
• Key stat: A rangy, high-level kickboxer whose 56% takedown defense has been the soft spot in losses to Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov

Mario Bautista notes:

• Hard-nosed climber: The No. 7 bantamweight has won nine of his last 10, most recently submitting Vinicius Oliveira in his first UFC main event in February
• Key stat: Built an eight-fight win streak with wins over Jose Aldo, Patchy Mix, and Ricky Simon before a close loss to Umar Nurmagomedov

🩸 Betting outlook

Sandhagen carries a beatable 56% takedown defense, and both Merab and Umar bullied him with grappling. Bautista is the fiercer wrestler, so I'm backing him with a one-unit moneyline bet (+120).

Lone'er Kavanagh (10-1) vs. Brandon Royval (17-9)

Lone'er Kavanagh notes:

• Little Dragon: The 27-year-old Londoner rocketed up the flyweight ladder with a short-notice, five-round win over former two-time champion Brandon Moreno in February
• Key stat: Sits at 10-1 with a kickboxing black belt and a 94% takedown defense, his lone loss a knockout to Charles Johnson

Brandon Royval notes:

• Raw Dawg: The No. 4 flyweight and two-time title challenger drags everyone into a firefight, though he has dropped two straight to champion Joshua Van and Manel Kape
• Key stat: A volume-heavy scrambler who lands 5.54 significant strikes per minute and averages better than a submission attempt per fight

🩸 Betting outlook

Kavanagh looked smooth while outpointing Brandon Moreno over five rounds. His speed and power are massive assets at flyweight, and I like him to beat the older Royval (-218). I'm also tossing a half-unit on Kavanagh by KO (+225).

King Green (35-17-1) vs. Terrance McKinney (18-8)

King Green notes:

• King: The 39-year-old California veteran is chasing a fourth straight win and still fights at a punishing pace after more than 50 pro bouts
• Key stat: Carries a 35-17-1 record with elite volume striking, though the division's heavier hitters have been able to stop him

Terrance McKinney notes:

• T-Wrecks: The Spokane finisher is one of the fastest starters in the sport and opens the main card looking to blitz Green early
• Key stat: Has finished 17 of his 18 career wins in the first round

🩸 Betting outlook

Green can still turn back the clock, but he's about to get sucked into the cyclone that is McKinney. Take McKinney in Round 1 at +100 or longer.

📊  UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2 odds - Prelims

Robert Whittaker (26-9) vs. Nikita Krylov (31-11)

Robert Whittaker notes:

• The Reaper: The former middleweight champion moves up to light heavyweight for the first time in his career, aiming to snap a two-fight skid
• Key stat: One of the quickest, most technical strikers in the sport's history at 185, now testing that speed against naturally bigger men

Nikita Krylov notes:

• The Miner: The durable veteran steadied himself in January with a third-round finish of Modestas Bukauskas after back-to-back knockout losses in 2025
• Key stat: A decade-plus veteran with 31 wins, though his once-elite chin cracked against Dominick Reyes and Bogdan Guskov

🩸 Betting outlook

Whittaker gives up size moving up to light heavyweight, but his hand and foot speed sit a class above Krylov's. I'll ride those quick kicks and punches and take the Whittaker moneyline (-135).

Gable Steveson (3-0) vs. Elisha Ellison (5-2)

Gable Steveson notes:

• Olympic gold: The former Olympic wrestling champion makes his UFC debut as one of the largest betting favorites in promotional history
• Key stat: Undefeated at 3-0 with rare heavyweight athleticism, though largely untested against UFC-level opposition

Elisha Ellison notes:

• The newcomer: The Pacific Northwest heavyweight steps in as a heavy underdog after dropping his UFC debut last year
• Key stat: Owns a 5-2 record and will need one big shot to trouble Steveson

🩸 Betting outlook

Steveson is a different athlete, and the Olympic gold tells you where this goes on the mat. At -2700 there's nothing straight, so use him only as a parlay anchor. If you need a number, Steveson by first-round KO (-225) is the bet.

Cody Garbrandt (15-7) vs. Adrian Yanez (17-6-1)

Cody Garbrandt notes:

• No Love: The former bantamweight champion looks to rebuild after a rough recent stretch marked by knockout losses
• Key stat: Still carries fast, accurate hands and title-level experience, but the chin has become a question

Adrian Yanez notes:

• The technician: A crisp, high-volume boxer and sizable favorite who can end nights with either hand
• Key stat: Holds a 17-6-1 record as one of the division's more polished technical strikers

🩸 Betting outlook

Two polished boxers with shaky chins rarely see the judges. Yanez is the busier hand and deserves to be favored, but -410 is steep on anyone who can be cracked. I'd rather back this fight under 1.5 rounds (+154).

Luke Riley (13-0) vs. Kai Kamaka III (18-7-1)

Luke Riley notes:

• Undefeated prospect: The Scouser is one of six unbeaten fighters in the featherweight division and 2-0 in the UFC
• Key stat: Sits at 13-0 and steps into his third UFC bout as a clear favorite

Kai Kamaka III notes:

• The veteran: Kamaka III scored a short-notice split-decision win in his UFC return in April and looks to build a streak
• Key stat: A durable, pressure-based featherweight at 18-7-1 testing the unbeaten Riley

🩸 Betting outlook

Riley is the fresher, more dangerous prospect and should have the tools to win. Kamaka is a durable grinder who drags prospects into deep water, though, so I'll take Riley by decision rather than lay -280.
