Before locking in any UFC 328 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 more than $21,000! Anyone who has followed Marley could be way up. He went 9-4 in last weekend's card.

One of of Marley's UFC 328 picks: He is backing Pat Sabatini (-180) to win via submisson against William Gomis (+150) in a featherweight bout on the early preliminary card.

"This is a striker vs. grappler matchup with Gomis needing to keep it on the feet," Marley said. "He has great defense and is very good at range, so if he can keep it there, then he should win. Sabatini should be closing the distance any time it's on the feet, and he should dominate the fight once on the mat. I'll take Sabatini by sub." 

Marley also has strong picks for Chimaev vs. Strickland and other bouts on the UFC 328: Chimaev vs. Strickland card. He's also backing "the cleaner striker," to emerge with a big victory! Be sure to see his UFC 328 picks before making any of your own.
