The UFC returns to action this Saturday, June 28th, with UFC 317, featuring a headline featherweight clash between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira. With major implications for the title picture, this high-stakes main event has fans and bettors alike buzzing. Whether you're backing the undefeated Spanish-Georgian striker or the former champ known for his submission prowess, here's everything you need to know to make smart wagers on UFC 317.

 

 

UFC 317 Predictions & Picks: Saturday, June 28th

Ilia Topuria (-175) vs. Charles Oliveira (+145) — Topuria by KO/TKO (+130)

This is a classic striker vs. grappler matchup, but with a modern twist. Ilia Topuria (16-0) is one of the UFC's hottest rising stars, riding a wave of momentum after winning the featherweight title. His precise boxing, power, and elite takedown defense make him a nightmare matchup for Oliveira.

Charles Oliveira (34-10, 1 NC) remains a dangerous opponent. With 21 submission wins, he holds the UFC record for most finishes. But recent fights show vulnerability when he's pressured by elite strikers.

Best Bet: Topuria by KO/TKO (+130)

Oliveira gets hit a lot — and Topuria hits hard. If Topuria can keep the fight standing, a finish inside three rounds looks likely.  If you feel extra greedy, Topuria R1 KO +300 is a good bet as well.

Underdog Bet: Brandon Royval ML (+100)

Royval is taking on Josh Van, which is the hardest test Van has ever had to fight.  Royval is much better on the ground and a tricky striker.  Royval should win the first round before Van starts to pick up the pace, but Royval’s wrestling should neutralize it.  If Royval does wrestle, his takedown prop is a great bet.

Best Prop Bet: Royval 2+ Takedowns (+700)

Longshot Bet: Terrance McKinney vs Slava Borschev: Borschev by R2 KO +750

McKinney has around five minutes of cardio, so expect him to win the first round.  Unlike most fighters with a bad gas tank, McKinney loses all durability once he tires, and he becomes extremely hittable.  This is a great way to turn a small dog into a massive payout.
