It’s the fight the fans have wanted as Khamzat Chimaev takes on Nate Diaz in a five-round welterweight main event. The UFC 279 odds are already out and Chimaev is expected to dominate Diaz although the Stockton Native remains ever popular with both fans and bettors. (The fight between Diaz vs Chimaev was postponed, due the Chimaev missing weight. Instead Diaz fought against Tony Ferguson)

How to Bet on UFC 279

Fans can bet on UFC 279 from the online sportsbook whenever odds are available. The moneyline is the first market to be opened and this is where you bet on who wins the fight. A $100 wager on Diaz should return a significant profit as he is a major underdog.

And another way to make a profit is by betting the total (over/under) when it is opened. You can parlay the moneyline and total for even better returns. Additionally, props and specials are side bets to make for when you want to take a shot at the round of victory, method of victory, and other specific outcomes.

UFC 279: Explained

Chimaev-Diaz has been announced but stay tuned to more UFC news as you never know with Diaz. He may just come out on Twitter and say he’s not fighting as he remains a slippery figure for the UFC to handle. Still, UFC betting previews expect the unbeaten Chimaev to ragdoll Diaz as wrestling is his weakness. But Diaz is also dangerous on the mat and has the endurance to last beyond five rounds.
