UFC 311 Underdog Bets & Close Calls
Beneil Dariush to Defeat Renato Moicano (+136)
Moicano has been on a tear as of late and has turned himself into a bit of a star for the UFC with his performances and work on the microphone, but I think some fans are forgetting the incredible win streak Dariush put together that had him within striking distance of a title shot.

ā UFC (@ufc) January 14, 2025
There are obviously concerns here for Dariush given that heās very much in the latter stages of his career and coming off back-to-back knockouts, but after taking some time off Iām happy to pick a well-rounded veteran like him to score the minor upset against Moicano.
JiÅĆ ProchĆ”zka to Defeat Jamahal Hill (+105)
Probably the most highly-anticipated bout at UFC 311 outside of the two title fights, this matchup between former champions should hopefully produce fireworks for as long as it lasts.

I donāt think a win here would earn him the trilogy fight with Alex Pereira that heās been talking about leading up to the event, but weāve at least seen ProchĆ”zka knock off another top contender in Aleksandar RakiÄ recently and I have slightly more faith in the 32-year-oldās (admittedly) unorthodox fighting style.
Merab Dvalishvili to Defeat Umar Nurmagomedov (+220)
The Machine NEVER stops! š¤@MerabDvalishvil is on an 11 fight win streak and has no plans of slowing down! šØ

I understand that heās fighting an undefeated challenger with the last name Nurmagomedov, but from a betting value standpoint I canāt pass up more than two-to-one odds on a defending champion thatās currently on an 11-fight win streak dating back to 2018.

UFC 311 Prop Bets
Zach Reese vs. Azamat Bekoev Goes Under 1.5 Rounds (+145)
Both of these men are incredibly dangerous finishers, and Reese had never even gone past the first round as a pro prior to his most recent win against JosƩ Medina in August.
HE'S NEVER SEEN THE SECOND ROUND š¤Æ@Savage185Reese gets the KO just 20 seconds in! #UFCLouisville pic.twitter.com/cuHoFGoFe4
ā UFC (@ufc) June 9, 2024
I think Bekoevās extensive pro experience will help to mitigate any Octagon jitters in his UFC debut, and if these middleweights start swinging right from the opening bell then the fight likely wonāt last very long.
Merab Dvalishvili vs. Umar Nurmagomedov to Be Won by Split or Majority Decision (+300)
Iāve already indicated that thereās upset-potential for Dvalishvili here, and while Nurmagomedovās last win over Cory Sandhagen was impressive the Georgian is still the biggest challenge heās faced thus far.

The fight should hopefully be a high-paced affair where each man gets to show off both their striking and grappling, and if things go the five-round distance the judges may be divided on who deserves to leave the cage with the bantamweight belt.
Arman Tsarukyan Over 1.5 Total Takedowns Landed (+130)
Thereās not a ton that can be taken away from the first meeting between the two lightweights given that they met back in 2019, but even in his UFC debut Tsarukyan did manage to take Makhachev down once.

Both men have improved significantly from their first bout, and although Tsarukyan has a tall task in front of him to actually defeat the champion I do think heās at least capable of scoring a couple of takedowns during the course of the fight.
