UFC 303 Betting Analysis
This UFC 303 analysis could go on for days with all the great fights on the main card, but we are highlighting the three biggest matchups to the more casual fight fan.
Garry Looks to Impress Against UFC Newcomer
Garry is a confident, brash, and undefeated welterweight contender in the top 10 of the division looking to perform well enough to earn himself a top contender fight in his next octagon appearance. He is an elite striker measuring in at 6’3” with a 74” reach at just 26 years old.
Page is a UFC newcomer making only his second appearance in the octagon. After becoming the biggest star in Bellator MMA, he impressed in his UFC debut against the tough Kevin Holland. Now he looks to break his way into the top 10 of the welterweight division. He matches up similarly to Garry, at 6’3” with a 79” reach.
Submission Specialist vs Knockout Artist
Ortega has been a UFC featherweight contender for many years now, losing two title shots but still looks like he is one or two wins away from another. At 5’8” with a 69” reach, Ortega is one of the most dangerous submission artists in the UFC with 8 of his 16 career wins coming by submission.
Lopes is one of the fastest-rising stars in the sport at 29 years old making his 5th octagon appearance in just over a year with the UFC. After his short-notice debut against a top contender in Evloev, Lopes has earned three first-round finishes in a row.
Can Prochazka Use His Extra Inch to Outpoint Pereira?
Pereira is a two-division champion and stepping up on short notice to defend his light heavyweight belt after the McGregor-Chandler fight was scrapped from UFC 303. Pereira is listed as a 6’4” orthodox striker with a 79” reach.
Prochazka is looking to recapture the light heavyweight belt this weekend after vacating it in 2022 after suffering a brutal shoulder injury. He is listed as a 6’3” orthodox fighter with an 80” reach, even though you will see him switching stances quite a bit in the octagon.
Updates
UFC and ESPN confirm no fighter injuries.
UFC 303 Betting Preview
To make the most accurate UFC predictions, we need to focus on the stylistic matchups of each fight. But first, knowing and understanding the betting lines is key to determining who the oddsmakers expect to win and what kind of value is available for certain picks.
According to the available UFC odds, the biggest favorite on the main card is Ian Garry at just -150 over the +130 Michael Page. This will be a great matchup between two exciting strikers with the ability to dismantle anybody in the division on their feet. The unorthodox style of Page will be difficult to get comfortable with for Garry, though.
The co-main event has very close to even odds, with Ortega coming in at +120 and Lopes at -140. Ortega is the kind of guy who will be tough to overlook; he has the heart of a champion and can surprise a lot of people on any given night. Lopes is a runaway train of hype that is even getting the edge from oddsmakers against a proven championship contender.
The main event odds are not surprising. Pereira is going into the weekend as a -140 betting favorite over the +115 Prochazka. This rematch has a few interesting question marks going into the weekend: who is in better shape of the two? And how healthy was Prochazka in their first meeting?
UFC 303 Betting Predictions
Ian Garry vs Michael ‘Venom’ Page
This is a tough fight to predict. However, after going through the UFC 303 betting analysis and breaking down the film, we predict that Garry will get his hand raised. Page is very tricky and always has the chance to catch Garry and end the fight at any moment, but this Garry kid is as slick as they come.
This match might be a technical chess snoozefest, frustrating casual viewers.
- Pick: Ian Garry -150
Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes
The official UFC 303 prediction for this co-main event is Lopes getting his hand raised. This is going to be a very exciting fight and it’s tough to bet against Ortega. Therefore, if you compare these two guys skill-for-skill, Lopes simply has more ways to win.
An early finish is in the cards for Lopes too, Ortega has a great chin but getting into a firefight with Lopes can easily go the wrong way early on.
- Pick: Diego Lopes -140
Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka
The official prediction is that Prochazka will win and set up a very exciting trilogy fight in the future. Pereira has the great equalizer with his incredible power, but Prochazka is going to be healthier and in better shape.
After adjustments and being more defensively responsible, Prochazka can use all of his tools to break down the world-class kickboxer.
- Pick: Prochazka +115
