UFC 295 Betting Offers & Free Bets

Like all numbered UFC events, expect plenty of and enhanced odds to be available. Some of the best will have plenty of UFC price boosts as fight night gets closer. Currently, we’re a little far in advance for those, but they will be found on the likes of and  in due course. 

UFC 295: Prochazka v Pereira Preview

Jiri Prochazka climbed to the top of the light heavyweight division in June 2022, defeating Glover Teixeira to claim the gold. He was forced to vacate the title before defending it due to injury. On his return, he’ll look to reclaim the title he never lost, and prevent Alex Pereira from winning a second UFC championship in just his seventh fight with the organisation. 

This will be Pereira’s second fight at light heavyweight. He showed how well he made the move up in his recent split decision win over Jan Blachowicz. Assuming Prochazka is fully ready for this in his first fight in almost 18 months, Pereira will need to improve on that display. 

Only one of Prochazka’s 33 professional fights has gone the distance. He can take on fights in a number of ways. In three separate bouts, he has a KO by punch, KO by spinning back elbow and a rear-naked choke submission victory to his name. He’s unlike anything Pereira, a proficient kick-boxer, will have seen before. It has the look of being a great fight. 

UFC 295 Undercard Preview

Returning from injury on a mission is something that applies to Tom Aspinall in the co-main event too. He missed a year prior to his win over Marcin Tybura in July due to a knee injury. He quickly returned to form, ending his comeback within 90 seconds. Don’t expect his fight with Sergei Pavlovich to last long. They’re each ranked top four all time in the UFC’s shortest average fight length list.

Three other bouts make up the UFC 295 main card, including a strawweight encounter between Jessica Andrade and Mackenzie Dern. The night kicks off with four early prelims followed by four prelims before the main card gets under way. Early prelims are due to start at 11pm UK time, with the later prelims scheduled for 1am. The UFC 295 main card gets under way at 3am.

UFC 295 Tips

The safest bet of the night appears to be the Aspinall v Pavlovich fight to end in the first round. All seven of Pavlovich’s UFC fights have ended in the opening round (six wins, one defeat). Aspinall has also had seven UFC fights, with only one of them making it as far as the second round. 

These big guys will need to pace themselves if they’re to go the full five rounds, but they’re both expected to look for the early finish. It’s not a huge price, but it looks like a safe bet.

The main event of UFC 295 is priced up to be the close fight that it's expected to be. This bout is highly unlikely to go the distance, and Prochazka is the pick to end it early. He can attack in a variety of ways compared to his more one-dimensional opponent. He looks set to claim victory and the belt he had to vacate.
