UFC Fight Night London Parlay: Lock In This Expert's 3-Leg UFC London Parlay
UFC Fight Night London is shaping up to be a barn-burner. There are several intriguing matchups and several British fighters that will have the crowd roaring, but this is not the easiest card betting-wise. There are several juiced lines here with only a few fights below -150. Therefore, it's time for a parlay of the best favorites on the card.

Leg 1: Molly McCann ML
Click Here for Molly McCann vs Hannah Goldy Odds
Hannah Goldy is stepping up to face the hometown favorite, Molly McCann. McCann is a -450 favorite and comes off back-to-back wins entering this fight. Both of her losses came against formidable opponents in Lara Procopio and Taila Santos. Goldy, on the other side, is coming off a win against Emily Whitmire, which was probably a fight for her job in the UFC.
Simply put, McCann has a serious edge on the feet with her power and movement. Goldy throws a lot on the feet but can be wild and uncontrolled. McCann has a powerful jab and is always conscious of her range in the fight. McCann is also sporting a reach advantage for the first time in the UFC. McCann has been at serious reach disadvantages in her previous fights due to her small frame, but Goldy also has a small frame, which means McCann's excellent use of range will only be amplified here. McCann should take care of business fairly easily here.
Leg 2: Nikita Krylov ML
Click Here for Nikita Krylov vs Alexander Gustafsson Odds
If this fight happened five or six years ago, I'd probably be betting on Alexander Gustafsson, but it's not. Gustafsson has floated on and off from retirement and hasn't fought in two years now. He is 35 years old and hasn't won in five years. He is 2-5 over his last seven fights in total and has averaged less than a fight per year over his last ten fights. He hasn't stayed active enough and has looked like a shell of his former self inside the octagon.
On the other hand, Krylov is 30 years old and has been a lot more active inside the cage, which gives him an edge from the start. Krylov may appear like a bad bet since he is 2-4 over his last six fights, but look at who his losses were too. His most recent loss is to Paul Craig in a fight he was actually winning before he made a mistake and fell into a submission from one of the best grapplers at light heavyweight. Before that, he had to fight one of the top prospects in the division, Magomed Ankalaev. Prior to that, he fought former champ, Glover Teixeira. So yeah, his record hasn't looked the best, but the guy hasn't caught a break matchmaking-wise. This is finally a break for him. This is a winnable fight for Krylov against a regressing fighter.
Leg 3: Paul Craig/Volkan Oezdemir U2.5
Click Here for Paul Craig vs Volkan Oezdemir Odds
I already have a max bet on this fight in an article I did, which you can read here, but this fight will not last long. Paul Craig has been to the judges one time in 21 contests. He is all action from the first round and constantly searching for a submission. 13 of his 16 wins have come by submission, and he is the most potent submission artist at light heavyweight. However, he has had problems with his chin holding up due to this all-action fight style. Enter Volkan Oezdemir.
Oezdemir has landed 12 knockouts and 13 total finishes in 17 wins. Oezdemir has been to the scorecards in only two fights over 23 bouts. He has powerful and accurate hands, and Craig has already been knocked out three times in the UFC. Both men in this fight are potent finishers who push the pace. I don't expect to see this one enter the third round.
