UFC Fight Night returns on Saturday in Las Vegas and we have a parlay ready to fire.
It includes the main event between Sean Strickland vs Nassourdine Imanov, which should be an excellent light heavyweight fight.
UFC odds are generous and bettors can cash in.
Let’s check the latest UFC odds, stats, and UFC lines for UFC Fight Night Parlay . We’ve plenty of UFC betting odds for you to consider.
Strickland Gets the Call Up
Credit goes to Strickland for taking on the challenge of fighting Imanov and we think he has a great chance of winning.
The American is 25-5 and he has fought some of the best in the division, including Jared Cannonier, Alex Pereira and Jack Hermansson.
He has never shied away from a fight, and although he hasn’t been in camp for very long, he’s still a dangerous fighter, which is shown in UFC betting markets. They have Strickland at even odds to beat Imanov, who doesn’t have nearly the same experience.
Imanov was a good choice against Kelvin Gastelum, but Strickland is on a different level. We think the -130 favorite will struggle and we’re happy to take the value odds for the underdog.
Strickland, known to trash talk, had some kind words for the Frenchman.
“Let’s call him the Frenchie. And if we’ve learned anything about the French – what are the French best at? Giving up. So, I haven’t really watched him fight. I know he likes to bang, he throws big punches,” Strickland said.
- Pick: Sean Strickland (Ev)
Soriano Won’t Be Sorry
Punahele Soriano is only a 9-2 fighter, but he has a bright future in the UFC if his knockout win against Dalcha Lungiambula is anything to go by.
The Hawaiian has firmed at the sportsbook throughout the week and he’s now the short -155 favorite to beat Roman Kopylov.
We haven’t been overly impressed with Kopylov since arriving in the UFC and he has plenty of work to do. Despite being a well-credentialed Russian fighter, he looks out of ideas at times inside the Octagon.
Momentum is firmly with Soriano, who will only shorten with bookmakers, and we’re including him in our UFC Fight Night parlay.
- Pick: Punahele Soriano -155
Basharat to Boost Payouts
There is plenty of intrigue with Javid Basharat vs Mateus Mendonca, which features unbeaten fighters.
One of them will lose their unbeaten streak, but we think Basharat will be too strong for Mendonca over three rounds.
The Afghani fighter is 13-0 after beating the tough Tony Gravely and Trevin Jones, so his wins stack up well against Mendonca, who makes his UFC debut. That’s the biggest difference and it could be telling.
“I still want to remain undefeated, but more than that I want to make sure that I break into the top 10 at least, top 15 for sure. I’d be fuming if I’m not in the top 15, especially if I’ve been winning,” Basharat said. “And at least get three fights in this year. I’d say that’s my No.1 goal.”
Bettors have to take -320 but he’s likely to boost parlay payouts.
- Pick: Javid Basharat -320
