For many MMA fans, fight night wouldn't be complete without a UFC 300 parlay bet or two to sweat.
UFC 300 takes place on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Following prelims on ESPN+ (6 p.m. ET) and then ESPN (8 p.m. ET), the five-fight UFC 300 main card kicks off on ESPN+ PPV at 10 p.m. ET (cost: $79.99).
UFC 300 is one of the most stacked cards in organization history, and it shouldn’t be short on violence.
Per usual, my parlay article will feature three fighters whom I expect to get their hand raised without the help of the judges. Parlaying them together will pay more than 8-to-1.
Let's dig into my UFC parlay for Saturday.

UFC 300 Parlay
Parlay Leg 1: Deiveson Figueiredo by Finish (-105)
As you’ll notice as a theme of all three of these selections, I am fading the durability of the opponents of the fighters I am backing.
Cody Garbrandt (+260) will attack with combinations as he is backed up near the cage, which will ultimately force multiple exchanges he does not want to find himself in with Deiveson Figueiredo (-325).
Figueiredo’s power has translated up to bantamweight with his lightning-fast check left hook and straight right that can spell trouble for anybody in the division. If Garbrandt gets rocked and shoots for a takedown, we are covered by playing inside the distance just in case Figueiredo wraps up a neck.
Parlay Leg 2: Jalin Turner by Finish (-165)
Jalin Turner has never won a professional MMA fight by decision. He is an extremely dangerous power puncher and is still improving at just 28 years old.
His opponent, Renato Moicano (+190), is six years older than Turner (-230) and has been finished by knockout three times in his UFC career. He's also been hurt badly on several other occasions.
Turner has already been in the octagon with some of the world’s best, and outside of Moicano consistently controlling the fight by grappling, it is a foregone conclusion the Brazilian will get stung at some point on Saturday night.
I am willing to bet Turner’s star power continues to rise after another brilliant finish.
Parlay Leg 3: Alexander Rakic by Finish (+225)
This is simply a bet on Jiri Prochazka’s lack of durability. I really do not see the judges coming into play in this bout. Both Prochazka (-102) and Alexander Rakic (-118) have serious durability concerns, but I will side with the better price and more straightfoward approach at kickboxing range.
Rakic's leg kicks could be a legitimate difference-maker in this fight, both causing damage to Prochazka’s leg and slowing down his unorthodox movements. Prochazka’s striking defense is very poor, and he is constantly hurt by strikes that most fighters at this level can endure. There is even a case to be made that he suffered a flash knockout from top position on the mat just three fights ago.
Rakic by finish is one of my strongest plays on the cards this weekend.
UFC 300 All-Violence Parlay:
- Figueiredo by KO/TKO/DQ or submission (-105)
- Turner by KO/TKO/DQ or submission (-165)
- Rakic by KO/TKO/DQ or submission (+225)
