UFC 329 Moneyline Bets

Paddy Pimblett to Defeat Benoit Saint-Denis (+120)

Saint-Denis obviously has a considerable amount of momentum right now, but Pimblett showcased during his last fight with Justin Gaethje that he’s quite a bit tougher than some fans may have previously thought.

I also think that Saint-Denis may not be fully prepared for how dangerous “The Baddy” is on the ground and will find himself fending off submission attempts during the course of this fight.

Robert Whittaker to Defeat Nikita Krylov (-125)

Fans were reminded that weight classes exist for a reason when Alex Pereira came up short in his bid to become a three-division champion at the UFC White House event, but he was facing an elite heavyweight in Ciryl Gane.

Krylov will boast a clear size advantage here, but he’s never come close to achieving what Whittaker has in his UFC career. I don’t know that “The Reaper” will have a ton of success in the light heavyweight division, but this looks like a winnable matchup for his debut in the weight class.

Cory Sandhagen to Defeat Mario Bautista (-135)

Bautista is a much more well-rounded fighter than the one that was submitted in his promotional debut against Sandhagen in 2019, but he’s still facing one of the best fighters in the division to not win the bantamweight belt.

It unfortunately looks unlikely that those fortunes will change for Sandhagen given that he’s lost to Merab Dvalishvili, Petr Yan, and Umar Nurmagomedov already, but a second victory over Bautista will at least keep him in the mix for another title shot.

UFC 329 Prop Bets

Max Holloway to Win via KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (-140)

The obvious pick for anyone siding with Holloway is for him to stop McGregor with strikes, but adding the submission option only slightly lengthens the odds.

I expect that McGregor will eventually crumble under a barrage of shots from Holloway, but I don’t think it’s out of the question that “Blessed” jumps in to finish things via submission after the Irishman hits the canvas.

Farid Basharat to Defeat John Garza via Decision (+130)

Following the withdrawal of Ethyn Ewing, Garza steps in to make his UFC debut against the undefeated Basharat on less than a week’s notice.

Basharat scored plenty of finishes before joining the UFC but has only stopped one opponent in the Octagon so far, so plus odds on him winning by decision are considerably more tempting than the lengthy odds on him to win outright.

Luke Riley vs. Kai Kamaka III – Fight Doesn’t Go the Distance (+130)

This fight promises to be one of the highlights of the UFC 329 prelims, and it looks unlikely that either man will be looking to bring things to the ground.

Both of these featherweights are plenty tough and could survive to see the final bell, but I expect that one of them will go down at some point during a firefight that could end up taking home “Fight of the Night” honors at UFC 329.

UFC 329 Longshot Bets

Gable Steveson vs. Elisha Ellison – Fight to End in the 1st 60 Seconds of Round 1 (+330)

It seems unlikely that Ellison will be the one to cash this bet, but Steveson is currently the biggest favorite on the card and may be eager to come out and make a massive statement in the opening minute of his UFC debut.

Paddy Pimblett to Defeat Benoit Saint-Denis via Submission (+600)

As mentioned above and also in my main card prediction for this particular matchup, I think both Saint-Denis and a portion of the MMA fan base may be underestimating just how dangerous Pimblett can be when a fight hits the ground.
