Fight Time: Get ready for UFC 314 hitting South Beach! The main and co-main events are promising, with Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes in a potential title match, and Paddy Pimblett going up against Michael Chandler.
Conservative Fight Ahead for Volk, Lopes Goes the Distance
Will the Fight Go the Distance?
- Yes 125
- No -165
Here's what you need to know: This fight isn't shaping up to be the explosive showdown everyone expects from Volkanovski. The former champ's on a losing streak (3 losses in his last 4 fights) and keen to play this one safe and steady. Lopes, however, has been on a roll, winning 7 out of 8 fights, with the last two by decision. Given Lopes' hot streak and Volk's cautious approach, this fight might just head to the judges' scorecards.
Paddy's Profit on KO/Sub
Pimblett's all set to take down Chandler. Pimblett boasts a 6-0 UFC record with 3 submission finishes and 1 KO/TKO win. Chandler's struggled lately, going 2-4 in the UFC, facing submissions and KO/TKO losses twice.
If you're betting on the method of victory, going for Pimblett to win via submission (+240) or KO/TKO (+260) could potentially profit you a pretty penny. A $100 bet on both would net a minimum $40 if he finishes Chandler via submission or a $60 profit if it's a KO/TKO win.

Enrichment Data:
