The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Las Vegas for an eventful night of mixed martial arts combat. The fight odds are now available for us to delve into some perfect parlay betting picks for UFC in Vegas 40 – headlined by female featherweight contenders Norma Dumont and Aspen Ladd live on ESPN.
Jordan Wright vs. Julian Marquez
UFC Middleweight Bout
Saturday, October 16, 2021 – 11:05 PM EDT at UFC Apex Centre
The Fighters
A war between prosperous UFC middleweights will kick start this weekend’s UFC in Vegas 40 main card when Julian Marquez (9-2-0) squares up against Jordan Wright (12-1-0).
Despite believing that Marquez owns the more technical and well-rounded martial arts skill set, it’s difficult to neglect the striking offence Jordan Wright built throughout a lifelong dedication to multiple striking disciplines.
The problem I have in pulling the trigger on Marquez stems from the available betting UFC odds available. At a price tag of -250 on Marquez, Wright’s explosive and fast-finishing nature is a significant threat that shouldn’t be overlooked.
The Perfect Parlay Pick
The available UFC odds with Bookmakers Review aren’t desirable for those betting Marquez on the money line; however, a deeper dive into each fighter’s respective career will reveal a common occurrence that I believe will replay during Saturday’s contest.
Both men own a 100% finishing rate in their winning professional mixed martial arts contests.
We can clearly see value in anticipating the fight to end inside the distance for a similar price to betting Marquez straight up. Taking our chances with this approach can eradicate the nerves when Jordan Wright throws high kicks, elbows, or spinning back kicks within the first five minutes.

Andrew Sanchez vs. Bruno Silva
UFC Middleweight Bout
Saturday, October 16, 2021 - 11:05 PM EDT at UFC Apex Centre
The Fighters
Bruno Silva (20-6-0) has been fighting for his position amongst the elite of MMA since his tenure on The Ultimate Fighter Brazil in 2014. A knockout loss sent the Brazilian-born fighter back to the drawing board, and boy, he’s been hard at work ever since.
The beginning of his professional MMA career wasn’t promising, with a 5-5 record. However, aged 32-years-old, Silva is now 15-1 from his previous sixteen appearances.
Missouri’s own Andrew Sanchez (12-6-0) has been making good use of his UFC contract, which was earned through The Ultimate Fighter 23 reality show, unlike his opponent. Since winning the light heavyweight edition of TUF, he’s held onto a 4-4 UFC record, mainly fighting behind his strong background in wrestling.
Perfect Parlay Prediction
The UFC must hate Andrew Sanchez, following a round 3 flying knee to punches knockout loss versus Makhmud Muradov; they’re now pitting him against another dangerous striker, Bruno Silva.
With that said, Silva’s lack of takedown defense is a concern. However, Silva proved his ability to overcome the wrestling adversity when he reversed the game plan of Wellington Turman during his promotional debut and went on to finish his fellow Brazilian via ground and pound strikes from guard!
Finishing a fight via strikes is one thing, but generating knockout power from the full guard position is a true testament to how devastating Bruno Silva’s striking offense can be.
Perfect Parlay Prediction: Bruno Silva to win (-155) at BetOnline
