LAS VEGAS – Prop betting on the UFC can be among the most profitable sports betting strategies. A couple of fights on this weekend’s card have prop bets worth looking into.
Max Holloway Vs. Yair Rodriguez: Holloway By Decision
Max Holloway is one of the greatest fighters in the UFC and potentially the best featherweight of all time. He has -700 odds on online sportsbooks to beat Yair Rodriguez this weekend but has plus-money odds on his method of victory prop bets.
Method Of Victory Odds
- Holloway By Decision EVEN
- Holloway Inside Distance +110
- Rodriguez Inside Distance +750
- Rodriguez By decision +1000
Holloway has 12 wins by finish and 10 by decision, but each of his last five fights has gone the distance. He’s not known for his punching power but has volume that cannot be matched. He holds the UFC record for most strikes landed, most significant strikes landed as well as most head strikes absorbed.
He’s only 29.
Although he’s often in exciting brawls, he simply doesn’t finish his opponents. There’s good value on both Holloway by decision and by way of a finish, but by decision seems just a little more likely.
Khaos Williams Vs. Miguel Baeza: Fight Not To Reach Decision
Khaos Williams and Miguel Baeza will fight one another on Saturday in what could be a quick fight. Baeza is favored in the fight and has finished eight of his 10 professional wins including each of his last three.

Andrea Lee Vs. Cynthia Calvillo: Fight To Go To The Distance
