Another ESPN event in the APEX is on this weekend’s UFC fight schedule, with a card full of very closely matched bouts and a difficult weekend of betting. There is only one fight on the entire card with someone having more than a -200 money line.
Let’s discuss three different picks from this weekend’s upcoming UFC fights to craft a parlay. These will be the most confident picks we have on the card, which are still all pretty close odds, meaning the payout will still be worth it.

Building the Perfect UFC Fight Night 240 Parlay
Leg #1
To start off this weekend’s free UFC Fight Night 240 picks and parlays for you, we are taking UFC veteran Billy Quarantillo to win against Youssef Zalal. This is the toughest pick of this parlay because Quarantillo is getting up there in age and Zalal is making his comeback to the UFC after being cut a few years ago.
Quarantillo won’t be as athletic or as fast, which is usually a big no-no in betting, but the fight IQ and experience will prevail. Quarantillo is going to be able to get the fight where he’s comfortable; fighting with a high output and changing levels to get this to the ground.
Zalal will be dangerous, especially after probably getting a lot better now at age 27 compared to how he was at 23 in the UFC. But Quarantillo has a good head on his shoulders, he fights like a savage, and he’s hungry to prove himself to get back into the top 15 of the featherweight rankings this year.
- Billy Quarantillo ML -158
Leg #2
The second free pick for you as we continue to discuss UFC Fight Night 240 picks and parlays is Edmen Shahbazyan over AJ Dobson. This is a much more straightforward and maybe “easier” pick.
Shahbazyan was once a very highly-touted prospect in the UFC who ran into some very tough fights that bumped him down the totem pole. He will show Dobson the levels of this MMA game and be faster, sharper, and just better all around.
At only 26 years of age, Shahbazyan is just about to enter his prime years and he will be an interesting dark horse in a middleweight division that seems to be starving for the next highly-skilled contender.
- Edmen Shahbazyan ML -194
Leg #3
For the final leg of this parlay we are going to the fight this weekend on the UFC schedule was built around. The highly skilled Rose Namajunas will claim victory over the formidable Amanda Ribas in this weekend’s main event.
The biggest threat to Namajunas is her own mind at this point. She’s coming off an awful championship performance and a tough loss in Paris against Manon Fiorot. Namajunas outperforms her opponents as a mixed martial artist.
She is the faster, sharper, and all-around more technical striker compared to Ribas, along with having some very dangerous submission skills on the ground. Namajunas is the biggest favorite on the card for a reason, and you can still get her at pretty decent UFC odds for a parlay.
Namajunas will be able to land the shots on the feet to hurt Ribas and probably even finish her within the first three rounds. She seems healthier and stronger in this flyweight division as well, kind of revitalizing her career after a low point following losing her strawweight title.
- Rose Namajunas ML -260
