UFC 264’s best 3-fight parlay
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:30 p.m. ET.
Bet No. 1 – Sean O’Malley to knockout Kris Moutinho (-300)
O’Malley’s style is strike heavy, and he should easily be the more dominant fighter against Moutinho.
He has won 13 fights and has just 1 loss. Nine of those wins were via KO/TKO. That’s what I’d expect to happen in this one. It’s -300, so the oddsmakers also think this one is relatively likely with an implied win probability of 75%.

Bet No. 2 – Niko Price to defeat Michel Pereira (+150)
Pereira is 2-2 in his last four bouts. He’s more of a striker but has won with his grappling as well. As for Price, he lands over 5 significant strikes per minute and has a grappling defense rate of 72%.
Assuming they both stay upright, Price should have the advantage. It’s the biggest risk of the parlay with +150 odds, but it’s a solid addition to the slip.

Bet No. 3 – McGregor to defeat Poirier (+110)
If you’re not sweating out the parlay at the end of the night, why bet? In this case, McGregor will be returning to a packed crowd in Vegas.
He’s a showman, and in his last fight with Poirier, they took to the octagon in front of a smaller crowd at Fight Island. Both are heavy strikers and are highly familiar with each other. Expect McGregor to get back into the swing of things with his first win since January 2020.
McGregor is the slight underdog in this one.
Total odds:+600
The +600 odds would return a profit of $600 on a $100 parlay bet if all three legs hit.
