UFC White House 'Freedom 250' Parlay, Predictions, & Odds

When U.S. President Donald Trump decided he wanted to host a UFC pay-per-view at the White House, we all scoffed. But now, it’s actually happening. UFC Freedom 250 is coming up on Sunday night on the South Lawn, and of course, Trump being Trump, he got himself a doozy of a card to watch.

UFC White House/UFC Freedom 250 will have no early preliminary or preliminary cards, just a seven-fight barnburner of a main card. We’ve got six ranked bouts, two of which are championship fights, and some of the biggest and most exciting names in the sport to pick from.

Undefeated lightweight champ Ilia Topuria takes on interim champ Justin Gaethje in the main event, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane square off for the interim heavyweight title in the co-main event, and top six bantamweights Sean O’Malley and Aiemann Zahabi do battle in the third-to-last fight of the night. Read on for our analysis, predictions, UFC betting odds, and our best bet parlay for UFC White House on June 14.

UFC MACAU MAIN CARD PARLAY:

• Ilia Topuria via KO/TKO/DQ (-225)

• Sean O’Malley via Decision (+100)
  
• Parlay Odds: +440 ($10 bet pays $54.00)

(C) Ilia Topuria vs. (IC) Justin Gaethje Lightweight Championship Bout Betting Odds

Ilia Topuria (17-0) is so dominant that his odds to win via KO against one of the best fighters in the division over the last decade, Justin Gaethje (27-5), are a whopping -225.

And yes, we’re going to take them. It’s the most reasonably priced prop for this fight, and considering Topuria knocked out guys like Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway, and Alexander Volkanovski who almost never get knocked out, he should be able to put “The Highlight” away as well. All five of Gaethje’s career losses have come via finish.

Best Bet: Ilia Topuria via KO/TKO/DQ (-225)

Alex Pereira vs. No. 1 Ciryl Gane Interim Heavyweight Championship Bout Betting Odds

Alex Pereira (13-3) started his UFC career in middleweight at 185 pounds. Now, he’s challenging for the interim heavyweight title and he doesn’t look out of place at all. He’ll need to get by Ciryl Gane (13-2, 1 NC) to become the first UFC fighter ever to win three belts in three different weight classes.

Gane will be fighting for the heavyweight championship (interim or regular) for the fifth time, though he only won the first of those against an over-the-hill Derrick Lewis. After what we saw from Gane against Jon Jones on a similarly large stage, we think he will struggle again and Pereira’s power and patience will tell.

Best Bet: Alex Pereira Moneyline (-110)

No. 3 Sean O’Malley vs. No. 6 Aiemann Zahabi Bantamweight Bout Betting Odds

Sean O’Malley’s (19-3, 1 NC) name doesn’t hold the same type of cache as it used to. But he can still deliver fireworks. His opponent, the Canadian Aiemann Zahabi (14-2) has won seven straight fights, but he’s also the perfect opponent for O’Malley: a guy who doesn’t have the skill or will to get O’Malley off his feet with wrestling.

O’Malley is the hardest puncher in the division, and trading with someone like that for 15 minutes will only end one way for Zahabi. However, O’Malley has become a less flashy and more intelligent fighter, and Zahabi is pretty tough to get out of there, so we’re going to roll with Suga to win via decision on Sunday night.

Best Bet: Sean O’Malley via Decision (+100)
