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 more than $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 9-4 on his picks on the Feb. 28 UFC card. Anyone who has followed Marley could be way up.

One of Marley's top UFC Fight Night picks: He is backing Luke Fernandez to win via knockout over Rodolfo Bellato in a light heavyweight bout on the early preliminary card. 

"Fernandez is making his UFC debut here after a fast KO win on DWCS, and he has a perfect 6-0 record," Marley said. "Bellato is well-rounded, so maybe the line is a bit wide against a guy this early in his career, but I do like Fernandez. He has a solid wrestling/grappling base, which I like to give him his biggest edge. He also has big KO power in his hands. I'll take Fernandez by TKO or decision."

Marley also has strong picks for Holloway vs. Oliveira and other bouts on the UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 card. He's calling for one main-card fight to end in a rapid knockout. You MUST see his UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 picks before making any of your own.
