WHR Parlays – The Rest of March…

Mar 14, 2024
Jason

We debuted the “WHR Parlay” series recently and you can view that here.  We got so very close to hitting and as a result, I thought we’d try again.

An issue with the parlays, is that there are a lot checkboxes that a fight must tick off to qualify.  Therefore, I am combining multiple events in one post and am also opening it up to all of MMA.  Though there is not much betting action on non-UFC fights (as far as I can tell), if they qualify and I have the info, I will throw them in.

In this post, I will also throw in a second parlay… a collection of the best bets (favorites included).  This one is a bit more subjective as I need to “draw the line” on the amount of fights to include.

Top UFC Events for Prediction in 2024

Mar 14, 2024
Fairfax

The 2024 UFC campaign is well underway, with several incredible fight nights behind us.

Magomed Ankalaev’s vicious second-round knockout of Johnny Walker kicked off the calendar year. It was followed by UFC 297, where nearly all bouts went the distance, highlighted by Dricus Du Plessis’ beating of Sean Strickland.

We had a great battle between Imamov and Dolidze, a five-round thriller between Hermansson and Pyfer, and Royval’s upset win against Moreno. Ilia Topuria remained undefeated by knocking out Volkanovski in UFC 298, while UFC 299 took place just a few days ago with O’Malley launching his bantamweight title defense by battering Marlon Vera.

As another exciting UFC season continues, we look at the rest of the schedule and share our expectations for some of the top bouts. If you want to make your predictions count, feel free to check out the UFC odds on sportzino.com.
