UFC 325 Main Card Odds
Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes 2 (Featherweight Championship)
Odds
- Volkanovski – 147
- Lopes +127
Records:
- Volkanovski (27-4-0)
- Lopes (27-7-0)
Featherweight champion Volkanovski returns in a critical rematch after narrowly defeating Lopes via unanimous decision in a five-round bout on April 12, 2025. Volkanovski is one of the greatest 145-pound fighters in UFC history with wins over Max Holloway, Chad Mendes, and Brian Ortega, to name a few, but he’s 37 years old and regained that title after losing back-to-back fights in the lightweight division. The mileage is piling up, but he survives by being the most technically sound fighter in the sport.
Lopes proved in his first fight against Volkanovski that he can compete at a championship level by displaying power, pressure, and physicality to keep the bout competitive through all five rounds. He’s the underdog again for UFC 325, and will likely pressure Volkanovski early to prevent him from settling into a rhythm.
The odds favor Volkanovski’s experience and adaptability, but the tight line reflects how competitive the first fight was and how little separation exists between them.
Dan Hooker vs. Benoit Saint-Denis (Lightweight)
Odds
- Hooker +270
- Saint-Denis -340
Records:
- Hooker (24-13-0)
- Saint-Denis (16-3-0)
This matchup pits one of the division’s most battle-tested vets against one of the most aggressive rising contenders. Hooker is an underdog in this match, but remains dangerous as he’s always war-ready and ready to trade at any moment.
Saint-Denis is the second biggest favorite on the main card, riding a three-fight win streak with two by submission and one by knockout. He blends striking with grappling to bring relentless pressure.
Hooker’s best chance is to keep Saint-Denis at bay to drag this fight into the last round.
Rafael Fiziev vs. Mauricio Ruffy (Lightweight)
Odds
- Fiziev +102
- Ruffy -122
Records:
- Fiziev (13-4-0)
- Ruffy (12-2-0)
The UFC odds don’t get any close than this. Fiziev is a high-level striker with elite speed and technique. Ruffy enters as a slight favorite due to a better string of performances and ability. But both have had their share of highs and lows; this fight is pretty even.
Fiziev was making a name in the Octagon, but a three-fight losing streak and various injuries have slowed his momentum. Ruffy has done well against lower-ranked competition, but lost his last fight to Saint-Denis via face crank in the second round.
Tai Tuivasa vs. Tallison Teixeira (Heavyweight)
Odds
- Teixeira -300
- Tuivasa +250
Records:
- Teixeira (8-1-0)
- Tuivasa (15-8-0)
With a lot of light and flyweights, UFC needed to throw one heavyweight bout into the mix. Tuivasa is the underdog but is a big knockout threat who can end fights abruptly. Teixeira is the favorite and has the size, power, and fresh legs to control this fight.
Quillan Salkilld vs. Jamie Mularkey (Lightweight)
Odds
- Salkilld -950
- Mularkey +600
Records:
- Salkilld (10-1-0)
- Mularkey (18-8-0)
Salkilld enters as the biggest favorite in UFC 325, having only one loss on his record before joining the UFC and having not lost in the Octagon. He brings pressure and athleticism and has been overwhelming his opponents.
Mularkey’s experience and toughness could give a newer UFC fighter like Salkilld trouble, but he’ll need to extend the fight into the later rounds and neutralize Salkilld’s early momentum.
UFC 325 Preliminary Odds
Junior Tafa vs. Billy Elekana (Light Heavyweight)
Odds
- Tafa +205
- Elekana -245
Records:
- Tafa (6-4-0)
- Elekana (9-2-0)
This matchup contrasts Tafa’s raw power with Elekana’s more structured approach. If Elekana avoids early exchanges, his consistency and control could dictate the outcome.
Cam Rowston vs. Cody Brundage (Middleweight)
Odds
- Rowston -350
- Brundage +275
Records:
- Rowston (13-3-0)
- Brundage (11-7-1)
Rowston enters as a solid favorite due to his pace and finishing instincts. Brundage remains dangerous early, but durability and consistency concerns have kept him as the underdog.
Jacob Malkoun vs. Torrez Finney (Middleweight)
Odds
- Finney +127
- Malkoun – 147
Records:
- Finney (11-0-0)
- Malkoun (8-3-0)
Malkoun’s wrestling-heavy approach faces an undefeated Finney with strong physicality. This bout could hinge on takedown success.
