UFC 308 Preview - Top 4 Free Picks and Predicitions

Heres a preview for UFC 308, set for October 26, 2024. The card features some highly anticipated matchups, and heres how the odds and predictions are shaping up

Main Event: Ilia Topuria (C) vs. Max Holloway (Featherweight Title Fight)

- Odds: Topuria -250, Holloway +190

- Prediction: Ilia Topuria, the undefeated featherweight champion (15-0), faces UFC legend Max Holloway (26-7) in a highly anticipated clash. Holloway, though known for his legendary toughness and volume striking, is likely facing an uphill battle against the younger, more dynamic Topuria. Topuria has knockout power and a dangerous submission game, which makes him the favorite. Holloway's best path is to survive the early storm and try to outpace Topuria later, but at 32 years old, he might struggle against the fresh champion.

- Free Pick: Topuria by decision or TKO in the later rounds.

Co-Main Event: Khamzat Chimaev vs. Robert Whittaker (Middleweight)

- Odds: Chimaev -200, Whittaker +160

- Prediction: Khamzat Chimaev (13-0) is known for his aggressive style and dominant wrestling. He faces Robert Whittaker (26-7), a former middleweight champion whos proven himself against top-tier opposition. Whittakers experience and striking give him a solid chance, especially if Chimaev isnt at his peak, as hes had a sporadic schedule due to health issues. However, if Chimaev brings his A-game, his wrestling could control the bout.

-  Free Pick: Chimaev by decision.

Magomed Ankalaev vs. Aleksandar Rakic (Light Heavyweight)

- Odds: Ankalaev -220, Rakic +180

- Prediction: Magomed Ankalaev (18-1-1) brings a combination of striking and grappling, while Rakic (14-3) is a powerful striker. Ankalaev's ability to control the fight in multiple areas likely makes him the favorite in this matchup.

-  Free Pick: Ankalaev by decision.

Lerone Murphy vs. Dan Ige (Featherweight)

- Odds: Murphy -190, Ige +160

- Prediction: Lerone Murphy (13-0-1) is a rising star with a solid striking game, while Dan Ige (17-6) is a well-rounded veteran. Murphys precision and reach advantage could give him an edge in what should be a close contest.

-  Free Pick: Murphy by decision.

This card is stacked with competitive fights and should deliver plenty of excitement for MMA fans.
