Predominant Occasion Insanity
Simply once we thought we had all of it found out, the MMA gods determined to spice issues up. What was purported to be Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan is now Makhachev vs. Renato Moicano as our headliner after Arman injured his again and neck through the weight lower, by some means. I’m guessing the burden lower might have triggered the again to grab up or one thing uncommon.
Predominant Card Breakdown
Kicking off the UFC 311 PPV, we’ve got Kevin Holland taking over Reiner de Ridder or RDR. Holland is at all times recreation, and we all know he’s gonna discuss his trash each time, however RDR isn’t any joke. With 16 finishes out of 18 wins, RDR’s submission recreation is legit. Plus he’s an enormous boy for the division. I feel the Dutch Knight will get this combat to the bottom and discover a approach to decide up the W in his sophomore UFC combat.
Greatest Wager: Reiner Moneyline -122

The percentages are closely in Almeida’s favor, and for good motive. For those who’re feeling like as near a certain factor as we discover on this loopy sport, take that -470 for Almeida. Spivac is recreation on the bottom, with 8 submission wins to his identify, however Almeida is a drive of nature. The purpose unfold is -7.5, which is insane for a 5-round combat, not to mention a 3-round affair. Almeida continues his climb up the heavyweight ladder.

Jiri Prochazka vs. Jamahal Hill
I really feel like that is probably the most one-sided combat on the cardboard so far as who the followers wish to win. Jiri not solely shaved his iconic coiffure forward of UFC 311 to point out help for a fan battling most cancers, he’s donating $50,000 to oncologist sufferers and bringing the fan to the occasion. As well as, Jamahal Hill has been on a run of getting some hate and backlash from the fan base following the loss to champ Alex Pereira. It is a razor-close combat, with each coming off powerful losses to Alex, however I’m going to lean barely in direction of Hill on this one. I do know Jiri mentioned he was going to be smarter together with his protection and protecting his palms up, however I must see it to imagine it. I feel Hill might be extra technically sound and possibly even combine it up a bit extra.
Greatest Wager: Over 1.5 rounds -175

But, he’s a +210 underdog to undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov. Umar is legit, sitting at 18-0 and coming off his greatest win towards, on the time, #2 ranked Cory Sandhagen. That’s his solely win of be aware to date, and I feel Merab goes to current an entire totally different set of points for the prodigy out of Dagestan. I’m all in on the Georgian grinder placing on the tempo and dragging this one to deep waters. I really feel like this combat is all however assured of going to a call, so the purpose unfold and the cash line for Merab look nice.
Greatest Wager: Merab covers +5.5 unfold -125
Predominant Occasion Islam Makhachev vs. Renato Moicano
Not the principle occasion we wished, or the one we would have liked, however the one we obtained. Shout out to Renato for instantly saying sure to the combat and his epic assertion on the ceremonial weigh-ins. On the flip facet, you virtually really feel for Islam. He can’t simply appear to have a traditional title protection towards the top-ranked lightweights. That being mentioned, until Moicano catches lightning in a bottle, I anticipate it to be a protracted evening for him. Islam is a whopping -1475 favourite with a -5.5 level unfold.
Greatest Wager: Islam wins by submission -115
