Preliminary Card Betting Odds

The prelims are full of very exciting athletes and close matchups from top to bottom for fans and sports bettors around the world to enjoy. 

From UK stars like Molly McCann and Nathaniel Wood being big betting favorites, to close fights with KO artists like Gregory “RoboCop” Rodrigues, this card will be worth tuning into from the very beginning. 

There are also a few young prospects looking to make a name for themselves and will be able to in front of an eager sold-out crowd in Manchester. 

The Main Event

UFC 304 will have a rematch in the welterweight division headlining the massive card.

Leon Edwards looks to defend his world title again, this time versus a battle-tested contender in Belal Muhammad. 

These two met in the UFC octagon back in 2021 where the fight abruptly ended due to an accidental eye poke by Edwards, causing damage to the eye of Muhammad.

This unfortunate outcome caused a lot of bad blood between these two elite welterweights.

This will be a great matchup between an all-around world-class martial artist in Edwards going up against an elite wrestler like Muhammad.

Will the wrestling of the challenger be enough to take the welterweight throne? 

Co-Main Event

Curtis Blaydes will look to steal the interim crown on Aspinall’s home soil. 

This will be a great matchup between the modern heavyweight style of Aspinall, using his speed and size in all areas of MMA, and the great wrestling of Blaydes. 

Other Notable Fighters on the Card

Some other great matchups on the card include:

Bobby Green vs. Paddy Pimblett in the lightweight division, Manel Kape vs. Muhammad Mokaev in the flyweight division, Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze in the featherweight division, and Daniel Pineda vs. Nathaniel Wood in the featherweight division. 

Each of these fights will make for a spectacle for the UK fans and force those at home to scoot up to the edge of their seats in anticipation of an electric finish. 

UFC 304 Main Card Betting Odds

Writer’s Picks for UFC 304: Edwards vs Muhammed 2 Main Card

Arnold Allen -270 vs Giga Chikadze +204

This matchup between two of the most skilled featherweights in the world will be a perfect kick-off to the PPV portion of this event.

The elite striking from both fighters will make for an incredibly exciting fight that could end at any moment.

Giga Chikadze has physical advantages.

The +185 underdog is 6’ 0” compared to favored Arnold Allen’s 5’ 8” frame.

Chikadze also has a 4 inches reach advantage.

In addition, Chikadze has won 4-of-5 while the chalk has lost 2 straight.

Granted, Allen has fought the better competition, but it’s tough for a mixed martial artist to turn it around after suffering consecutive losses.

There’s no reason not to take a chance on the dog.

UFC 304 Pick: Giga Chikadze

Christian Leroy Duncan -140 vs Gregory Rodrigues +120

The odds imply a tight match. The slight underdog in this, Gregory Rodrigues, has won 4-of-5.

Rodrigues knocked out all 4 of his opponents, including sending Brandon Tavares to the showers in the third round before the final bell.

Christian Leroy Duncan has also won 4-of-5. Both Duncan and Rodrigues are knockout artists.

The difference between the two is that Rodrigues lost his bout via KO while Duncan lost his via unanimous decision.

The chalk prevails.

UFC 304 Pick: Christian Leroy Duncan

Muhammad Mokaev -120 vs. Manel Kape -106

These two flyweight contenders have practically been begging the UFC for a title shot and either one could get one from a highlight performance here.

These two have all the talent in the world but have yet to prove they are the superstar they believe they are.

This will most likely be an EVEN odds matchup by Fight Night. 

King Green -136 vs Paddy Pimblett +107

Formerly known as Bobby Green, King will be sporting a new name and look to shut down the hype of one of the UK’s biggest stars, Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett.

Pimblett has seen lots of criticism and calls for a test of his skills–which he will get against the proven veteran contender. 

The odds recently changed from Green a -115 favorite to the even -110 odds on both sides.

Pimblett is English, which means he will fight in front of his country people on Saturday.

Not only that, but Pimblett is much younger.

There are reasons to like Green, who has won 3-of-4. Paddy, though, hasn’t lost since 2018 and is on a 7-match winning streak which includes winning all 5 of his UFC bouts.

Pimblett gets it done.

UFC 304 Pick: Paddy Pimblett

Tom Aspinall -400 vs Curtis Blaydes +285

In a rematch of their fight in 2022, Aspinall looks to overcome that unfortunate night where he blew out his knee in the opening seconds of his fight with Curtis Blaydes in London.

Aspinall will be defending his interim heavyweight belt against a deserving challenger. 

Aspinall has won 3-of-4, including beating Sergei Pavlovich in his last.

However, Aspinall’s lone loss in his last 4 came versus Curtis Blaydes.

Blaydes knocked out Aspinall in the first round. The results of the first match between these two should give Curtis Blaydes’s fans hope.

Blaydes is also fighting well after winning 4-of-5.

The disparity in odds is enough to back the dog.

UFC 304 Pick: Curtis Blaydes

Leon Edwards -222 vs Belal Muhammed +170

UFC Welterweight Title

In another rematch where the first fight ended unfortunately, Edwards looks to prove his dominance and spot at the top of the welterweight division yet again.

Muhammed is a decent mixed martial artist but he faces one of the motivated MMA fighters on the planet on Saturday. Edwards is on a mission.

After the no contest versus Muhammed, the champ won a decision over Nate Diaz, beat Kamaru Usman twice, knocking out Usman in one of the bouts, and won a decision victory over Colby Covington.

Muhammed has also been on fire. Muhammad gets his long-awaited title shot and travels into enemy territory to get a massive underdog victory, 

UFC 304 Pick: Belal Muhammed

What to Expect

Sports bettors at home can expect very competitive fights.

The biggest betting favorite on the main card is Arnold Allen at only -275 over the +235 Giga Chikadze.

Those odds are so far apart only because Chikadze hasn’t been active recently, but he could potentially be even better than he was a few years ago as a title contender. 

Both the co-main and main events are very closely matched and have value on both sides of the cage.

Remember, the UK crowd might be a huge advantage for fighters from that area.
