Here are three betting predictions for UFC 306, including detailed analysis of key matchups:
Ronaldo Rodriguez vs. Ode Osbourne – Rodriguez to Win (1.72)
Rodriguez (16-2) brings a balanced skill set, with solid grappling and striking. He averages 1.2 takedowns per 15 minutes and 1.8 submission attempts, making him a versatile threat. Osbourne (12-7) has been inconsistent, with a 1-3 record in his last four UFC fights. While Osbourne’s striking is higher at 3.46 significant strikes per minute, Rodriguez’s better grappling and more well-rounded game make him the favorite.
Daniel Zellhuber vs. Esteban Ribovics – Fight to Go the Distance (1.61)
Zellhuber (15-1) and Ribovics (13-1) are both skilled strikers with high output, but neither has shown a strong finishing rate recently. Zellhuber’s last four UFC fights have gone the distance, and Ribovics has seen two of his four fights reach the scorecards. Given their striking durability and lack of finishing power, backing this fight to go the distance seems the safest play.
Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko – Shevchenko to Win (2.17)
Grasso (16-3-1) defends her Flyweight title, but Shevchenko (23-4-1) remains a more dominant fighter in terms of grappling and striking defense. Shevchenko’s superior takedown accuracy (63%) and defense (71%) give her the edge, making her a strong pick to reclaim her title.
