In a heavyweight bout on the main card, Alexander Volkov meets Marcin Tybura Saturday at UFC 267 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Below, we analyze the UFC 267 Volkov vs. Tybura odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
The card can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims at 10:30 a.m. ET and the non-PPV main card at 2 p.m. ET.
Volkov suffered a unanimous-decision setback against Ciryl Gane last time in the UFC Fight Night main card June 26. He had impressive Round 2 knockouts against veteran Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris in his two prior fights. Five of his past eight bouts have finished inside the distance, with four KO/TKO wins and one knockout loss.
The Polish heavyweight Tybura has recorded five consecutive victories, including KO/TKO wins over Harris and Greg Hardy, which was the first time the former NFL player was finished in his UFC career.
Tybura’s last loss came Sept. 14, 2019, against Augusto Sakai. He has been knocked out in each of his last three losses over the previous nine fights.

UFC 267 Volkov vs. Tybura: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Volkov (33-9-0) | Tybura (22-6-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Volkov (-320) is a little on the expensive side, costing you over three times your potential return. There’s just no value there. Instead, look to the Method of Victory section and take VOLKOV BY TKO/KO (+133) at plus money. Volkov will look to use his two-inch reach advantage to get to Tybura early. He also holds a 4.84-to-3.63 significant strikes landed per minute advantage.
Over/Under (O/U)
I really like the NO (-140): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE play in this tussle. Five of Volkov’s last eight fights have not needed the judges, while Tybura has four finishes in the past seven outings.
In addition, play a two-round block with VOLKOV IN ROUND 2 (+440) and VOLKOV IN ROUND 3 (+720). Yes, you’ll lose one end, but if the Russian fighter wins in Rounds 2-3, you’ll still be well ahead.
