UFC 319: Du Plessis vs. Chimaev headlines a loaded card on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. Du Plessis, 31, who has won his last 11 bouts, is coming off a unanimous decision win over Sean Strickland this past February. Chimaev, 31, who is 14-0 to start his career, won by submission over Robert Whittaker last October. The early prelims for this 12-fight event start at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday while the main card begins at 10 p.m. ET. 

Chimaev is the -238 favorite while Du Plessis is a +195 underdog in the main event according to the latest UFC odds. In a battle between women's flyweights in the early preliminary, Karine Silva is the -205 favorite over Dione Barbosa. Before locking in your UFC 319 picks, you NEED to see the latest MMA predictions from SportsLine MMA analyst Kyle Marley.

Over the past three-plus years, $100 bettors who have followed Marley's picks are up nearly $10,000, and since May 2018, he has returned nearly $21,000!

The accomplished MMA analyst has provided consistent winners for SportsLine members for the past five years. His accomplishments include hitting five consecutive main-event underdog winners in 2020 following the UFC's brief pause in action because of the pandemic. He also finished up 1.1 units on the last UFC card. Anyone who has followed Marley could be way up.

This week at UFC 319: Du Plessis vs. Chimaev, Marley is backing Dione Barbosa (+170) in her women's flyweight bout against Karine Silva (-205). "Barbosa is taking this fight on short notice, and it is a tougher fight than Silva's original matchup," Marley said. "These two fought in 2019 and Barbosa won by UD. They are both dangerous grapplers and I see the striking being close. I could see this coming down to a split-decision and I always prefer the + money ticket in that case."

Marley also has strong picks for Du Plessis vs. Chimaev and other bouts on the UFC 319 card. He's also backing an underdog who is a "better, faster, more dangerous, and higher-paced striker." You MUST see his UFC 319 picks before making any of your own.
