Tai Tuisava vs Greg Hardy Picks

Saturday’s heavyweight clash between Tai Tuisava and Greg Hardy is impossible to call. That’s what the sportsbook think and it’s also what the bettors think. Currently, the fighters can’t be split in the betting and they’ve both seen 50% of wagers on them so far this week.

Irene Aldana vs Yana Kunitskaya Picks

The UFC 264 card is full of tight clashes and it’s why this Saturday’s event is so highly anticipated.

Yana Kunitskaya has been popular to come out on top with 61% of total wagers being on the Russian.

OddsChecker verdict: Yana Kunitskaya – 61% of bets

Sean O’Malley vs Kris Moutinho Picks

Though the main event card is very competitive for UFC 264, it’s going to start with what should be a formality for Sean O’Malley as he faces up against the unknown Kris Moutinho. The best odds currently available are -800, with means you’d need to wager $800 to win $100. O’Malley is a heavy favorite and has also accounted for 73% of bets this week on this fight market.
