The Best UFC 260 Value Bets

On Saturday, March 27^th, the UFC will be live on PPV with an exciting card featuring a heavyweight title rematch as Stipe Miocic defends his championship belt against Francis Ngannou. The co-featured bout is almost as exciting as Vicente Luque takes on Tyron Woodley.

If you have found yourself overwhelmed by the excitement and aren’t sure where to place your wagers, then check out our best value bets for UFC 260.

The following odds are courtesy of our two of the top US betting sites, Bovada and BetOnline.

Marc-Andre Barriault Beats Abu Azaitar (-130)

Marc-Andre Barriault is slightly favored at -130 to +110 for Abu Azaitar. Yet, you won’t find many people arguing against the fact that Barriault is the better overall MMA fighter in this matchup.

For starters, Barriault has the better resume as he’s taken on opponents of higher caliber than Azaitar. The Canadian has the advantage in striking and power. I see him scoring a TKO/KO win in this matchup.

Maverick Beats Robertson via Decision (+130)

Miranda Maverick is favored in this matchup at -160 odds over Gillian Robertson at +140. Furthermore, this fight is favored to go Over 2.5 rounds (-185) and the full 15 minutes (-160).

At this point in their careers, Maverick appears to have the edge in this matchup. Her grappling is sufficient and her striking is better than Robertson. She will outpoint Gillian in this bout.

Menifield Beats Knight Inside the Distance (+155)

This bout is set with an Over/Under of 1.5 rounds. Furthermore, it’s heavily favored to end inside the distance (-260).

These two fighters have gone the distance in just two of their 21 total fights. In fact, they’ve only gone to the 3^rd round in just four of 21 fights.

With two heavy hitters looking to drop bombs, it’s clear this fight won’t go the full 15 minutes. Between the two, Menifield has the better resume and should have the edge in this matchup.

O’Malley Beats Almeida Inside the Distance (-125)

Sean O’Malley is the largest betting favorite of the entire UFC 260 event at -320 odds. That makes Almeida the largest underdog at +260.

The O/U is set at 1.5 rounds with the Over slightly favored at -135. However, UFC betting sites favor this bout to not start round 3 at -120 odds. Lastly, the fight finishing inside the distance is favored at -185 odds.

It’s pretty clear that bookmakers feel that this one will end quickly. And, when you factor in that Almeida has lost three fights in a row and appears to be on the downside of his career, O’Malley is primed for a big night.

Almeida does have two defeats via TKO/KO and I expect him to pick up another one this weekend. “Sugar” Sean O’Malley will get back on track in what is a juicy matchup.

Miocic vs Ngannou Over 1.5 Rounds (-135)

These two first fought a little over three years ago and it went the full five rounds as Miocic won via unanimous decision. This rematch has an Over/Under set at 1.5 rounds with a very appealing line of -135 for the Over.

Ngannou has won four straight fights via 1^st round TKO/KO which is why the O/U is set this low. However, Miocic has already proved that he knows how to weather hurricane Francis in the opening minutes.

I expect this bout to go at least three rounds as Miocic will get Ngannou to the mat where he has the advantage. This will chew up the clock and easily take us Over 1.5 rounds.
