UFC 322 best bets for Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev & Shevchenko vs. Zhang

This middleweight clash could end up being a contender for “Fight of the Night” honors if it doesn’t end in the first few minutes. Rodrigues holds a sizeable grappling edge if he decides to bring things to the ground, but if the Brazilian wants to stand and slug it out then he could get cracked by Kopylov.

Weili Zhang to Defeat Valentina Shevchenko (+114)

Currently on a five-fight win streak that includes three successful strawweight title defenses, Zhang has a chance to make history as just the second woman to win UFC titles in two different weight classes. She looked largely dominant during her second reign with the strawweight belt, and you can get her at slight plus money to dethrone Shevchenko on Saturday night.

Leon Edwards to Defeat Carlos Prates (+136)

Coming off an ugly loss to Sean Brady, Edwards is in desperate need of a win if he wants to remain a factor in the welterweight title picture. The former champion will have his hands full against Prates, but he’s already proven himself against a higher level of competition and hasn’t been knocked out in 28 professional fights.

UFC 322 Prop Bets

Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Ethyn Ewing - Fight Doesn’t Start Round 2 (-105)

With two first-round knockouts already under his belt since joining the UFC, Wellmaker looks to extend his unbeaten record against short-notice debutant Ethyn Ewing. Ewing will have his work cut out for him fighting up a weight class after he just competed last week, but the 27-year-old is also a dangerous finisher in his own right and has stopped his previous two opponents in the first round.

Sean Brady vs. Michael Morales - Fight Doesn’t Go the Distance (+105)

In a fairly clear grappler vs. striker matchup, whichever man is able to keep the fight in their preferred area should be able to create openings to find a finish. We’ve yet to really see Morales’ ground game tested in the UFC, while Brady will find himself trying to navigate the Ecuadorian’s significant reach advantage if he isn’t able to bring things to the mat.

Baisangur Susurkaev vs. Eric McConico - Fight to Start Round 2 (+130)

Although he’s rightfully favored to win his second UFC fight, the current betting odds for Susurkaev to win outright are staggering. “Hunter” needed a second round to find a finish in his UFC debut against Eric Nolan, and even if you think Susurkaev will win this comfortably you can get plus money on the fight lasting at least five minutes.

Erin Blanchfield vs. Tracy Cortez - Fight to be Won by Split or Majority Decision (+250)

A rematch nearly six years in the making could potentially decide the next challenger for whoever holds the women’s flyweight belt once the UFC 322 co-main event concludes. Cortez handed Blanchfield her first pro loss via split decision back in 2019, and their second meeting could be another closely-contested affair that leaves the judges divided after three rounds.
