The UFC is back yet again on International Fight Week with a card full of big names and great matchups. Let’s take a look at some upcoming UFC fights that you can make bets on and turn into a very profitable parlay.
We have a perfect, low-risk UFC 290 parlay ready for you to use and win big on Saturday night. Outside of the key headlining fights, these three picks are all from matchups that not many people are talking about this weekend.
You will get the picks, the reasoning, and the payout of a potential $100 bet you place on your parlay.
Leg No.1
To start the night off with an easy win and one leg checked off of the UFC 290 parlay. Let’s go with highly-touted Japanese prospect Tatsuro Taira getting a win this weekend. His moneyline is all the way to -1100 right now because of how talented this kid is.
The 23-year-old is making the UFC walk for a fourth time and has been dominant in all of his previous fights. He has tons of skill on the ground while showing improvement in all aspects every time he steps foot in the octagon.
This first pick might make you worried about the odds of this parlay. But just wait and see what the UFC odds say at the end of this three-legger.
- Tatsuro Taira ML -1100
Leg No. 2
After an easy win early in the preliminary card, you will have to wait until the featured prelim bout between UFC living legend Robbie Lawler and fan-favorite Nikko Price. This is the only one you will sweat out, hopefully.
Lawler has looked really good recently and always shows up ready for anything that might come his way in the octagon. He is a true professional and seemingly takes this even more seriously at this point of his long career.
Price is a fun fighter to watch, but Lawler has so much more experience and technical skill now that this underdog pick is perfect. Lawler is going to get his hand raised, and you can get him at +180 odds.
- Robbie Lawler ML +180
Leg No. 3
After you sweat out the competitive Lawler vs. Price bout, it’s time to start celebrating a nice win with this final leg of the UFC 290 parlay. Go with the UFC record-setting betting favorite Bo Nickal to simply get his hand raised.
Nickal at -2500 is a ridiculous line, but it’s basically the only lock of this entire card. It’s going to be very difficult for Val Woodburn to come in on a few days-notice and beat the well-oiled machine of an athlete like Nickal.
Nickal is a world-class wrestler and will turn to those skills this weekend. Even if he had plans to show off his striking ability against Tresean Gore before he got hurt, Nickal should easily be able to, at worst, absolutely dominate Woodburn.
- Bo Nickal ML -2500

A lot of people tend to go for long-shot parlays because they see the crazy parlay odds after throwing together a handful of picks. This UFC 290 parlay is designed to win and to collect a nice chunk of winnings.
- With a $100 bet at +218 odds, you can win $217.67 with a total payout of $317.76.
That is a great payout, with two of the legs being literally the biggest favorites on the whole card. The risk of this parlay seems a lot less than a single bet at +218 odds. The key to parlay wagers is to find bets that can hit while also increasing your payouts. There’s nothing wrong with placing a parlay bet with odds like this–not everyone needs to be +10000, and leads to you changing your life.
Consistent wins on parlays like this is what makes your bankroll grow. UFC picks are the toughest to make for a reason, don’t overthink and make them any harder.
