UFC 303 Picks & Odds Breakdown

UFC 303 takes place on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and this should be an exciting card.  Let’s take a look at a free play on each of the main card fights to make your Saturday a winning one.

Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka

Pereira -142 / Prochazka +120 // Total Rounds: 1.5

Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka faced off back in November of 2023 and Pereira was defeated by knockout in the second round. Pereira fought back in April for the title and it was midway through the first round that he was knocked out. In April, Prochazka faced off against Aleksander Rakic and he was able to win by knockout in the second round. Prochazka might have lost the first time these two teams faced off, but this fight is going to be different. Prochazka is going to avoid the power of Pereira and he’s going to get the job done. Back Prochazka on the money line. 

Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes

Ortega +120 / Lopes -142 // Total Rounds: 2.5

Diego Lopes and Brian Ortega are heading in different directions. Lopes is moving up the division while Ortega seems to be moving down it. Ortega is coming off a win against Yair Rodriguez but he had lost two fights in a row. Lopes has won three fights in a row and each of the fights have been by some sort of finish. Lopes faced off against Sodiq Yusuff in the last fight and was able to win by knockout. Ortega is going to get his chin tested, and Lopes will come away with a victory. 

Anthony Smith vs Roman Dolidze

Smith +120 / Dolidze -142 // Total Rounds: 2.5

Roman Dolidze is fighting on short notice, and he’s going to really struggle here. Anthony Smith as been inconsistent but in his last fight he faced off against Vitor Petrino in May and he was able to lock up the submission victory. The biggest problem with Smith has been his inconsistency which is why I would bet this would small, but there is no way I am betting Dolidze here. Back Smith on the money line to cash here. 

Mayra Bueno Silva vs Macy Chiasson 

Bueno Silva -105 / Chiasson -115 // Total Rounds 2.5

Mayra Bueno Silva and Macy Chiasson face off in a key women’s fight. Bueno Silva hasn’t been able to be trustworthy at times, but she has also at times shown that she might be able to fight for a championship. Chiasson is the better technical fighter, and she is going to fight the smarter fight here. This fight is going to go the distance and Chiasson is going to win. Back Chiasson to win by decision. 

Ian Machado Garry vs Michael Page

Gary -155 / Page +130 // Total Rounds: 2.5

Michel Page is elite with his hands, and he’s going to find success here. Page is going to fight a smart fight here. Page is going to give Garry plenty of damage with his hands. This is also one that I won’t be betting to big, but I do believe that Page is going to give plenty of damage to Garry. Back Page on the money line to cash here. 

Shane Mickle's Pick: Prochaszka ML
