[Elves Brenner](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/6209/elves-brenner) Jimmy Crute is only 26, but I already have concerns about the injuries he’s dealt with and the damage he’s taken in his fights. Not everyone is blessed with dynamite in their hands and Porter shouldn’t be embarrassed that he can’t chuck hammers with the best of the big man division. He’s a towering welterweight, he’s comfortable fighting orthodox or southpaw (as is Della Maddelena), and he has offensive grappling in his back pocket if it comes down to it. He’s a calculating striker with power in both hands and a feel for finishes.

Sean Zerillo breaks down Saturday's UFC 284 pay-per-view card, including his analysis, bets and model projections for all 13 fights.

For now, bet the fight ends inside the distance (-165 at BetMGM). However, I would need around +318 (23.9% implied) or better to bet Volk with at least a 2% edge (projected 25.9%) compared to my number. I set the line at 58% (-136), and the market is between -140 and -150. And I would consider adding Mullarkey to a moneyline parlay at a break-even price (-265) or better. While she’ll be the taller and longer fighter against Lookboonmee (two inches in both categories), I doubt Lookboonmee will give Reed much room to operate and fight at her desired distance or tempo. Still, Emmett can’t stay on the outside and get chewed up by his opponent’s kicks in a moderate-tempo kickboxing match. And it’s in his best interest to grapple from the opening bell. Pedro has fallen apart in extended fights in the past – and never won a bout outside of Round 1. However, I probably wouldn’t play her past -285 (74% implied) in a straight bet. Over/under rounds From a prefight perspective, I’ll look to take Young by Decision (projected +253, listed +260 at In the next section, you’ll discover forecasts for those fights to finish inside the distance or for each fighter to win by Decision, knockout, or Submission.

A massive showdown of elite pound-for-pound fighters is set for Saturday night's UFC 284 main event when featherweight champion Alexander Volanovski moves ...

Menifield can absolutely crack and is a tempting underdog pick at +160, but the safer play is to simply take the under. Yes, Makhachev is a big, strong mauler while Volkanovski is moving up a division in pursuit of greatness. Both men hit hard and can have defensive lapses that result in eating clean shots to the face. It feels a bit iffy to pick a fight between two men who have only been stopped once each -- not counting a Rodriguez loss by doctor's stoppage -- to not go the distance. That alone makes a Volkanovski moneyline bet at +320 a worthwhile play in terms of pure value. Brown has been stopped by strikes twice in his career and Della Maddalena has 11 knockouts in his 13 career wins. Tafa's 5-3 record doesn't inspire much confidence, but he's a good finisher, and being a New Zealander, isn't also dealing with the effects of travel the same way Porter will be. 2023 got off to a hot start as we went 4-1 on our picks for UFC 283. The fight will be Makhachev's first defense of the lightweight title after a dominant win over former champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 280. A massive showdown of elite pound-for-pound fighters is set for Saturday night's UFC 284 main event when featherweight champion Alexander Volanovski moves up to challenge lightweight champion Islam Makhachev for the 155-pound title. Similarly, six of 10 Octagon trips for Menifield have ended in the first round. Della Maddalena exploded onto the scene in 2022 with three first-round knockouts.

In the main event, lightweight champion Islam Makhachev (23-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) puts his title on the line against featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski (25-1 ...

SportsLine's Kyle Marley reveals his UFC 284 picks and predictions for Makhachev vs. Volkanovski in Perth, Australia.

He's also backing a fighter who "will have higher volume and better overall striking" to emerge with a big victory. Jack Jenkins (-335) vs. Volkanovski (25-1) is a former professional rugby player who turned his attention to mixed martial arts about decade ago and lost more than 70 pounds to get in shape for the endeavor. I'll take Porter to avoid the knockout shot and win a decision," Marley told SportsLine. The 37-year-old Connecticut native has gone 3-2 in five UFC appearances, though his last outing resulted in a submission loss to Jailton Almeida. In the co-main event, featherweight contenders meet for the interim title when the explosive Yair Rodriguez (-165) takes on slugger Josh Emmett (+140). Makhachev has many traits similar to those of his coach and mentor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former lightweight king who retired with a 29-0 record. The others are Conor McGregor, Amanda Nunes, Daniel Cormier and Henry Cejudo. He won the title in December 2019 with a decision win against longtime popular former champion Max Holloway and would go on to sweep two subsequent rematches. Anyone who has followed him has seen massive returns. He watches every single fight for every professional MMA card and does extensive research before each event. Volkanovski is a native Australian and the current featherweight champion who is aiming to become the promotion's fifth two-division champion.
