UFC 327 Betting Tips & Picks

We provide you with our UFC 327 betting tips ahead of what promises to be an exciting night in Miami, Florida.

In the main event, Jiri Prochazka meets Carlos Ulberg for the vacant light heavyweight title in what promises fireworks. The co-main event was scheduled to feature Joshua Van put his flyweight title on the line for the first time against Tatsuro Taira in a fight that features two of the best young prospects in the sport; however, an injury to the champion has pushed that one back to UFC 328.

Elsewhere, there are plenty of recognisable names from Kevin Holland, to Aaron Pico and plenty in between.

Let’s look at three UFC 327 betting tips.

UFC 327 Betting Tips

Jiri Prochazka vs Carlos Ulberg – Under 2.5 Rounds (-120)

The main event is guaranteed fireworks, and that’s because it features Jiri Prochazka. Of his eight UFC fights, the Czech national has secured eight post-fight bonuses, three of which have been in his last two fights.

He’s all action, comes to fight every single time he steps in the octagon and puts the pace on his opponents that, more often than not, they can’t match. The only man to beat him in the last 11 years is Alex Pereira, showing just how talented he is.

Carlos Ulberg is one of the most technical fighters at 205lbs and is technical in a spiteful way. He’s light on his feet, but when he commits to a shot, he does so with dangerous power.

With a combined 40 MMA finishes, and with neither man losing via decision, don’t expect it to go the distance.

Patricio Pitbull vs Aaron Pico – Fight to go the distance

Two former Bellator stars are facing off in the UFC, both in need of a win. Patricio Pitbull, although coming off a win, hasn’t put two together since 2022. Aaron Pico entered the UFC with a ton of hype behind him, only to get brutally knocked out on his debut against Lerone Murphy.

Pico will certainly be more risk-averse in this one following such a bad loss last time out. After a knockout loss as devastating as the one he suffered, no one could blame him for being slightly apprehensive.

Pitbull hasn’t had the start in the UFC that he had planned, losing his debut in a dominant fashion. He rebounded last time out against Dan Ige, doing so by scoring five takedowns. He may look to wrestle again due to the threat of Pico’s boxing, but it’ll be a tough ask against the American.

Both men will want to leave UFC 327 in one piece; that’s why the second of our  UFC 327 betting tips is for this one to go the distance.

Curtis Blaydes Round One Finish

Curtis Blaydes enters UFC 327 with a lot of pressure. Despite having 20 UFC fights, he has been tasked with welcoming Josh Hokit to the big time. Hokit is just 2-0 in the UFC and hasn’t looked like a world beater in each.

Blaydes is a dominant wrestler, averaging 5.38 takedowns per 15 minutes and isn’t afraid to try and ground and pound an opponent through the canvas. The assumption is that the number four heavyweight in the world will be able to do the same to Hokit… with ease.

The only reason Hokit got the chance to face someone so highly ranked is due to how poor the heavyweight division is. He isn’t deserving of the opportunity based on skill; he’s got the chance due to being a talker on the mic.

The third of our UFC 327 betting tips – Curtis Blaydes to dominate Josh Hokit to a first-round finish.
