Alexander Volkanovski (-117) vs Diego Lopes (-103)

It’s a Featherweight Title Bout for the current #1, Volkanovski, against the brutal Brazilian contender, #3 Diego Lopes.

The Australian known as Alexander the Great has landed 50% of his wins by knockout in his career, and half of those have come in the first round. So Lopes better be ready from the opening bell.

But fight fans might like Lopes’ UFC odds. Volkanovski has lost 3 of his last 4 fights, a trend that doesn’t normally look good on titleholders. It’s also been over a year since he last fought in the Octagon.

All these factors give Lopes, the challenger, a virtual draw with the current UFC 314 odds.

At -105, oddsmakers still have him as a slight underdog to Volkanovski’s -117. Based on recent history though, we’re ready for everything including a Lopes win.

Although Lopes and Volkanovski each have 26 career wins, the Brazilian has won 5 straight and has also fought more recently. His last bout was seven months ago while Volkanovski’s long layoff of 14 months.

If you’re looking to make a big call, check out the Rounds Over/Under. Fight watchers clearly think this close bout will go on for a while. But if you think Lopes or Volkanovski can end it in the first round, it’s a +320 payday for you.

Check out the main UFC 314 odds below and the full list of ways to wager on the Main Event for UFC 314.

Michael Chandler (+122) vs Paddy Pimblett (-142)

The UFC is happy to have Paddy the Baddy to promote its fights, and although he’s ranked only 12^th in the Lightweight Division, he brings the noise in almost every contest.

The current favorite with UFC odds of -142, Pimblett is riding a win streak of 8 wins at the moment and has an overall record of 22-3. Those 22 wins have come in a variety of ways – 10 submissions and 6 KOs among them – so the British brawler can come at Michael Chandler from all directions.

At #7 in the Lightweight Division, “Iron” Mike Chandler brings his own impressive power to the Octagon. He’s got 13 first round finishes, and for those who remember his devastating front-kick KO of Tony Ferguson back in 2022, he can end things in a hurry.

While his long-awaited fight with Conor McGregor never materialized, and he might be facing a bit of ring rust with only 3 fights dating back to 2022, Iron Mike has the tools to keep this fight close. He’s a slight underdog currently at +122.

Have look at all the ways to bet on Chandler vs Pimblett for UFC 314, including the main bets:

Yair Rodriguez (-198) vs Patricio Pitbull (Freire) (+168)

Another Featherweight battle on the Main Card at UFC 314 promises to be full of action.

Yair Rodriguez has some of the toughest kicks in the UFC, while Pitbull – at age 37 – still has plenty of bite. A former Bellator legend, Pitbull knows every trick in the Octagon and will be tough for Rodriguez to handle. His career record is an impressive 36-7.

The Taekwondo-trained Rodriguez is always a bigger threat to launch a decisive knockout kick from anywhere, which is why his win by KO or TKO odds are +300 compared to Pitbull’s +700.

The main question for UFC bettors is whether you think Pitbull can handle the younger fighter. Oddsmakers are counting on a longer fight, with the Over/Under for 1.5 Rounds listed at -350 to go Over.

But if you’re looking for an edge and a possible big payday, and you think Rodriguez (#5 currently in the division) is going to land a KO early, then the Under 1.5 Rounds bet is worth a good look at +250.

Bryce Mitchell (+220) vs Jean Silva (-270)

This Featherweight feud at UFC 314 features possibly the most bad blood between any of the fighters at UFC 314.

Bryce Mitchell and Jean Silva have not held back in the lead up to the big night, to the point where it could get really personal in the Octagon this Saturday.

The American Mitchell is not seen by the oddsmakers as a serious threat though. His odds of winning by KO, TKO or DQ are a massive +1400.

They’re also not expecting the fight to go the distance. The UFC odds are -210 on the bet that it will not go a full five rounds, with +160 odds that Mitchell and Silva make it till the end. Featherweight fights are usually full of action, increasing the chances that the fight ends before all five rounds are up.

Full five or not, there are dozens of ways to play the Mitchell vs Silva fight at UFC 314.

UFC 314 in Miami will be bringing the heat this Saturday, and we’re ready with every bet you need for every fight.
