UFC 311: Islam Makhachev vs Renato Moicano preview

Islam Makhachev (26-1) has gone 15-1 inside the UFC en route to becoming Lightweight Champion. He’s defended his strap three times over Alexander Volkanovski twice and Dustin Poirier once. He’ll now have to pivot opponents to face a dangerous submission artist who’s been waiting in the wings for his title shot. The Champion stands 5-foot-10 with a 70.5-inch reach.

Renato Moicano (20-5-1) has gone 12-5 since joining the UFC in 2014. After a rocky start to his career, Moicano has since 7-1 over his last eight fights and has clawed his way to the top of this division. After most recently stopping Benoit Saint-Denis, he’ll pivot to his first title challenge and the biggest fight of his life. Moicano stands 5-foot-11 with a 72-inch reach.

UFC 311: Makhachev vs Renato Moicano Odds

Below listed are odds for the main event provided by Draft Kings at the time of writing:

  • Islam Makhachev: -1200
  • Renato Moicano: +740
  • Over 2.5 rounds: +160
  • Under 2.5 rounds: -210

Islam Makhachev will see an unexpected change in his preparation given his new opponent. However, with how late of a notice this was, all of his hard work is already done and he’ll likely come out with the same game plan he intended to always fight with. He’s considered the best MMA grappler in the world right now and his Nurmagomedov camp has historically seen success against world-class jiu-jitsu practitioners. If the betting odds are any indication, this should be a much lighter fight in terms of a serious threat for Makhachev.
