UFC 290 odds, picks: Uncanny MMA analyst releases picks for Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez and other fights for July 8 showcase
Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his title on Saturday against top-ranked Yair Rodriguez in the main event of UFC 290. The main UFC 290 fight card is set for 10 p.m. ET from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Volkanovsk is a -400 favorite (risk $400 to win $100), while Rodriguez is priced at +310 (risk $100 to win $310) in the latest Caesars Sportsbook MMA odds for UFC 290: Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez. Before making any UFC 290 picks of your own, make sure you hear from SportsLine MMA analyst Daniel Vithlani.
Vithlani is a highly analytical UFC bettor who profited more than 62 units in 2022. This includes a documented 24-14 record on his well-respected, two-leg parlays. Every pick was documented on his public Instagram account (@Brasco_Bets). In his SportsLine debut in January, Vithlani went 5-0 on the main card alone to bring $100 bettors a profit of $500! Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP!
In a relatively short span, Volkanovski (25-2) has emerged from a little-known contender to perhaps the division's most accomplished featherweight. He is ranked No. 2 behind only Jon Jones in the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings. Rodriguez (15-3-1) has long been hailed as a potential contender, but various injuries caused delays in his career trajectory and he fell out of public view on a couple of occasions. When healthy, the 30-year-old Mexican fighter has proven to be one of the game's most lethal and dynamic strikers.
This week at UFC 290: Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez., we can tell you Vithlani is backing Alonzo Menifield (+100) to get past Jimmy Crute (-120) in a light heavyweight matchup.
Vithlani also has strong picks for Strickland vs. Magomedov. and other fights on the UFC 290 card. He's also backing a fighter who "can get it done with hard-nosed kickboxing or wrestling" to emerge with a DOMINANT victory! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his UFC 290 picks before making any of your own!
