Topuria Betting Favorite<\/h2>\n

Two-time champion status for Holloway?<\/strong> This one promises to be elite. Topuria (15-0-0), from Spain, became a UFC<\/a> champion in just his seventh appearance when he knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in February of this year. Holloway (26-7-0) is a former UFC champion looking to grab a title for the first time in more than five years (Holloway lost his featherweight title to Volkanovski in 2019 and lost to him again in 2022).<\/p>\n

The Hawaiian-American knocked out Justin Gaethje in dramatic fashion in UFC 300 in April<\/strong> to take the BMF title. Gaethje was the betting favorite going into that lightweight fight.<\/p>\n

UFC 308: Earlier Start Time<\/h2>\n

Holloway\u2019s UFC career has also been marked by bouts with Dustin Poirier (in 2012, a loss), Conor McGregor<\/a> (2013, a loss), then a stretch of 13 wins straight from 2014 through 2019, including two memorable bouts (TKOs) over Jose Aldo.<\/p>\n

Holloway, six years older than Topuria, is seeing 86% of bets and 50% of handle at BetMGM. Also, at BetMGM, Holloway by KO\/TKO or DQ (+500) is the most bet prop (tickets), followed by Holloway by Decision\/Technical Decision (+400), Topuria to win in 60 seconds or less (+2500), Topuria by KO\/TKO or DQ (+150) and Holloway to win in 60 seconds or less (+5500).<\/p>\n

Note the unusual start time tomorrow: 2 p.m. EST for the main card.<\/p>\n

Holloway by TKO a Popular Prop<\/h2>\n

Four unbeaten fighters are on the main card \u2013 Topuria, Khamzat Chimaev (-250, up against Robert Whittaker, at +200), Lerone Murphy (-300, up against Dan Ige, +240), and Shara Magomedov (-185, up against Armen Petrosyan, at +140).<\/p>\n

\u201cA few zeroes could go, shall we say. The price on Max Holloway is massive for me and surprisingly the price is going out on Holloway,\u201d said Mark Collier, a trader with BetVictor. \u201cHolloway opened at 7\/4 (+175) so seeing 23\/10 (+230) is pretty big. His decision price absolutely is where I\u2019d be tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Topuria is seeing a lot of betting action on other fronts.<\/p>\n

\n

All the business we\u2019ve seen is Spanish support for Topuria versus Holloway,\u201d said Oliver Vickers from 888 Sport.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The FanDuel Canada Trading Team said they are seeing “some interesting activity on UFC 308” with the most bet props in this order – Holloway by KO\/TKO, Holloway by Points, Topuria by KO\/TKO, Chris Barnett (against Kennedy Nzechukwu) by KO\/TKO, and Whittaker by Points.<\/p>\n
