UFC 322 best bets
Della Maddalena vs Makhachev
Rohit PonnaiyaBest bet: Della Maddalena moneyline
+210 at BET99
Makhachev is one of the most well-rounded fighters in UFC history, combining elite grappling and wrestling with crisp kickboxing. That said, he was significantly bigger than his opponents at lightweight, an advantage he won't have after moving up a division.
This line is too wide, especially after moving up for his first welterweight fight against a superior boxer in Della Maddalena. Take the current champ at plus money.

Shevchenko vs Weili
Rohit PonnaiyaBest bet: Shevchenko moneyline
-135 at BET99
Zhang is a pressure fighter who is at her best coming forward. Stylistically, that plays right into the hands of Bullet, who is a crisp counter striker and will land the cleaner shots.
Shevchenko will use her superior footwork to stay at range and avoid Zhang's power and takedown entries. She can also land takedowns of her own and could secure rounds with top control like Namajunas did.

Brady vs Morales
Danny HowardBest bet: Brady moneyline
-140 at BET99
This is too soon for Morales. He hasn't faced someone who can put him on his back and keep him there. If he can’t hurt Brady early or force him to respect the striking advantage, Brady’s pressure and grappling efficiency will take over.
Morales is skilled enough to create danger, but Brady has reached the stage where he's winning not just with tools, but with maturity and awareness of when and where to impose his strengths.

Edwards vs Prates
Danny HowardBest bet: Prates moneyline
-190 at BET99
In a three-round fight where activity matters, the risk of Edwards letting rounds drift is very real.
But recent evidence points toward a fighter struggling to commit, while Prates is trending upward and carrying real belief in his offensive identity.

Dariush vs Saint Denis
Chris FariaBest bet: Saint Denis moneyline
-190 at BET99
BSD is on more of an upward trajectory. He got a new coach this year in Nicolas Ott, who also trains fellow Frenchman Nassourdine Imavov — one of the best strikers in the middleweight division.
I expect Saint Denis to showcase improved striking along with his same relentless pressure en route to victory.

Our best UFC 322 parlay
+434 parlay
Tony SartoriPat Sabatini moneyline
Valentina Shevchenko by decision
Islam Makhachev moneyline
+434 at BET99The previous meeting between these two resulted in a razor-close split decision for Mariscal, giving Sabatini a clear blueprint for adjustments. With improved control and a more wrestling-heavy approach, Sabatini has strong value on the moneyline in what should be another competitive but winnable fight.
Zhang will need to take big risks just to crash the pocket, which increases her exposure to counters and takedown attempts. All signs point to Shevchenko edging a technical contest and winning on the scorecards.
Makhachev’s striking is far sharper and more defensively sound than Belal’s. Once this fight hits the mat, the skill gap becomes enormous, and the longer the fight goes, the more dominant Islam will look. Expect Makhachev to impose his game, drown JDM with pressure, and cruise to a victory either on the cards or with a late submission.
