Conor McGregor and Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone lock horns tonight at UFC 246 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. The welterweight bout is the main event on the pay-per-view card (to watch, sign up for ESPN+ now). Below, we breakdown the McGregor-Cerrone fight, with UFC 246 betting odds and picks.

‘The Notorious’ is back, and he’ll have a formidable opponent with the veteran ‘Cowboy’. Still, while McGregor (21-4) is sure to be a huge draw, and the pay-per-view returns will be rather substantial, he isn’t the fighter he once was. However, he is the closest thing to Mike Tyson this sport has ever had, and people will tune in to see him, even if he is heading into the back nine of his career.

Conor McGregor (-350) vs. Donald Cerrone (+275) — welterweight; Holly Holm (-140) vs. Raquel Pennington (+110) — women’s bantamweight. DraftKings Sportsbook’s UFC 246 Odds Boosts. DraftKings Sportsbook’s offer of McGregor at +100 odds is definitely the headline offer here. There is one caveat, however, which is that bets on McGregor at the enhanced +100 price are capped at $20. Depending on the MMA betting site, Nasrat comes into this fight as either the 2 nd or 3 rd biggest betting favorite on the entire UFC 246 card. After losing his UFC debut in October 2017, Nasrat has won three straight fights including his last bout via KO over Silva in August 2019.

Cerrone (36-13) is a warrior. He has had his fair share of losses, but just when folks are about to write him off, he steps up his game and shows why he is one of the most decorated and respected fighters to ever grace the octagon. He looked tremendous in a five-round bout against Al Iaquinta in the main event of UFC Fight Night back on May 4, 2019, winning in a unanimous decision, but he lost by TKO – Doctor’s Stoppage against Tony Ferguson in the follow-up at UFC 238, and he was knocked out by Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night Sept. 14. He’s loaded with experience, but there’s a lot of mileage on the odometer, too.

McGregor is still a show stopper, and he is catching Cerrone at a good time, on a two-bout slide. The Notorious is still the dominant striker of the two, and while Cerrone showed improvement in the defense department in his UD win against Iaquinta, he is sure to be knocked off his game by the colorful McGregor. The latter is dominant in takedown defense, striking and just overall showmanship. I absolutely LOVE the odds of a McGregor win in Round 3 at +1000. If you can multiply your stake by 10 times with a third-round win, that turns even a small-unit bet into a nice bankroll. McGregor should win by KO/TKO or DQ (-209), so that’s not a bad little parlay.

Anthony Pettis and Diego Ferreira will go toe to toe Saturday at UFC 246 in Las Vegas. We break down the Pettis-Ferreira betting odds and lines, with UFC betting picks, tips and best bets for UFC 246.

Pettis (22-9 MMA, 9-8 UFC) is looking to bounce back after a unanimous decision loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 241 in August, and he has alternated wins and losses in each of his past nine bouts. Since successfully defending the lightweight strap against Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181, Pettis has been in a freefall down the rankings, going just 4-7. However, he does have wins over Charles Oliveira, Jim Miller, Micheal Chiesa, and Stephen Thompson along the way, with the Thompson victory coming March 23 of last year in a knockout, so he is still very dangerous.

Ferreira (16-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) easily has the better record of the two fighters and is on a different trajectory. He also has a 74- to 72.5-inch reach advantage, and he hasn’t tasted defeat since back-to-back losses to Beneil Dariush at UFC 179 and a knockout at the hands of Dustin Poirier in 2015. His past two wins are by unanimous decision over Rustam Khabilov and Mairbek Taisumov.

Per BetMGM, Ferreira (-250) is a moderate favorite over Pettis (+180). The oddsmakers also lean to the match going the distance (three rounds), with odds there being set at -150 and the odds to not go a full three rounds at +115.

Pettis is still very dangerous, but he hasn’t been able to show much consistency lately, while Ferriera is younger, quicker and a lot better in the significant strike department. As long as Ferreira doesn’t let his guard down and plays solid defense, negating a huge punch and kill shot, he should be able to grind out a unanimous decision. The play here is Ferrerira to win by decision/technical decision (+115), with the fight going a full three rounds (-150).
