UFC 333 Accumulator 💥 @ 11.07

UFC 332 Acca won @ 7.67

Both fighters are explosive. Each has won around 64% of his fights by knockout. Pico rarely goes the distance, with only 3 of his 19 fights reaching the scorecards. Keita has the more durable record, having been stopped just once, though 7 of his 19 fights have gone to a decision. Over their last 5 fights, each has heard the final bell only twice.

Pico is a very dangerous boxer, he throws a lot of power with each strike and has incredible hand speed. His striking is so dangerous because he mixes in his wrestling, keeping his opponents guessing and giving him the opportunity to tire them out and create openings.

Keita is coming off a nasty KO win against Muhammad Naimov, putting him out cold. His footwork can get sloppy and he leaves his chin exposed, but he has the power to punish Pico, whose own chin has been questioned since his spinning back elbow KO loss to Lerrone Murphy.

This will be a high-speed, explosive fight between two very skilled athletes and there’s likely a top 5 spot in the rankings up for grabs.

Temirov is on a 12-fight win streak and coming off a nasty knockout of Steve Erceg in July. He pushes the pace and swings every shot like a knockout attempt.

Kavanagh is 1-2 in his last three fights in the UFC. He was 7-0 before the UFC, counting the Contender Series. His last outing was a loss via submission to Brandon Royval but he does hold a win over Brandon Moreno, the former Flyweight world champion.

Temirov brings more volume (4.73 significant strikes a minute to 4.13), better striking defence (62% vs 53%) and a perfect takedown defence record.

Kavanagh is tipped by many to have a much higher ceiling as he’s only 27, but for right now, I think Temirov will have enough.

The bantamweight title is on the line in a rubber match between two of the division’s all-time greats, and this is where the value in the acca lies. Merab is an underdog at the time of writing but I think the price will shorten fast.

The pair are 1-1. Merab won every round of their first fight in 2023, but Yan returned the favour at UFC 323 last December, when Merab landed just 2 of his 29 takedown attempts. That was Merab’s fourth fight of a calendar year, all of them 5-rounders, so fatigue may have set in.

It’s tough to pick against Yan after that rematch. His bodywork was superb, he took away Merab’s wrestling and he fought with a really high fight IQ. But this time Merab has had 10 months off to rest and rethink, and I'm backing him to regain the belt.

Volkanovski is one of the greatest featherweights of all time. He’s beaten Max Holloway three times, and the list goes on: José Aldo, Brian Ortega, the Korean Zombie and Yair Rodríguez. He even moved up to lightweight and ran Islam Makhachev close.

The elephant in the room is age. At 38, Volk’s durability and reactions are open to question, but the cardio is still there.

Evloev doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He’s 20-0, a high-volume wrestler who averages close to 5 takedowns per 15 minutes, with clean striking, good kicks and excellent cardio. But he hasn’t finished anyone in the UFC and only edged Lerone Murphy on a majority decision in March.

Volk comes off two wins over Diego Lopes, and if his 69% takedown defence keeps this standing, he has a big edge on the feet. It’s incredibly hard to take rounds off him without a big moment like a knockdown, and I can’t see Evloev grinding out enough of them.

How We Choose Our UFC Tips

Andy's Bet Club tipsters provide our UFC tips, looking at how each fighter’s strengths and weaknesses could affect the fight. Recent results are part of this, but the level of opposition matters too. A fighter coming off a win may face a different challenge against an opponent with stronger wrestling, better striking or a different fighting style.

We also consider the scheduled rounds and the available price. Picking the likely winner is only part of choosing a bet; the odds need to reflect the chance of that selection winning.

UFC Accumulator Tips

A UFC accumulator combines two or more selections into one bet. Each selection needs to win for the accumulator to win.

For example, you could combine fighters from different bouts to win their respective fights. The combined odds will be higher than backing each selection individually, but one losing selection will lose the whole bet

Our UFC accumulators use the following markets:

Fight Result: back a fighter to win by any method.
Method of Victory: back a fighter to win by a specific method: KO/TKO, submission or on points.
Round Betting: back a fighter to win in a specific round.
Total Rounds: bet over or under the rounds line set by the bookmaker. The line depends on whether it’s a three-round or five-round fight.
Go the Distance: a simple yes/no on whether the fight goes to the judges’ scorecards.
How Will the Fight End: bet on the method alone (KO/TKO, submission or points) without picking a winner.

UFC Betting Tips FAQs

What is the best UFC betting strategy?

Set a betting budget and decide your stake before placing a bet. Compare prices for the same selection and make sure you understand the market you are backing. Avoid increasing your stakes to recover a loss or placing extra bets because an earlier selection lost. No UFC betting strategy guarantees a profit.

Is betting on UFC profitable?

Picking winners does not automatically mean you will make a profit. The odds you take and the amount you stake affect your overall return, and losing bets can outweigh your winnings.

Do not treat UFC betting as a source of income. Set stake limits, only bet what you can afford to lose, and do not chase your losses. 18+, Gambleaware.org
