I've got UFC 315 parlay picks with this event just days away.
This is an interesting card. Atop the event, Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main showdown.
Let's open up that bankroll for some UFC 315 parlays amid a fun night of fights on May 10 in Montreal.
UFC 315: Easy OVERs (-109) - Ethan
- Malott/Radtke OVER 1.5 Rounds (-175)
- Silva/Grasso OVER 2.5 Rounds (-450)
Both Mike Malott and Charles Radtke are deliberate fighters who like to feel things out before fully committing. Radtke is all about baiting his opponents, using static positioning to set up his signature left hook. Malott, a switch-stance striker, has a knack for neutralizing opponents’ weapons, which often leads to measured exchanges rather than chaotic brawls.
The first round will likely be cautious, as both fighters focus on establishing their rhythm instead of taking unnecessary risks. The stylistic matchup, with Malott’s occasional static moments against Radtke’s careful entries, points toward a slow build. A late finish or decision seems more likely, making the OVER 1.5 rounds a strong and well-priced pick.
Alexa Grasso vs Natalia Silva presents an interesting clash of styles but does not suggest an early finish. Grasso often struggles against physically stronger opponents, frequently stalling in guard or relying on extended grappling sequences. Silva brings solid takedown defense and a strong judo foundation, allowing her to control exchanges and keep the fight on the feet when needed.
Neither fighter consistently finishes at this level. Grasso’s difficulty in securing dominant positions and Silva’s cautious approach make a drawn-out contest the likely outcome. The pace will favor prolonged exchanges at range or extended grappling, with both fighters steering clear of unnecessary risks. OVER 2.5 rounds is a logical and safe play, as this fight seems destined for the scorecards.
UFC 315: Legends Never Die (+7050) - Nick
- Jose Aldo by KO (+550)
- Valentina Shevchenko by KO (+1000)
With 20 UFC title fights between them, Jose Aldo and Valentina Shevchenko are certified UFC Hall-of-Famers. Due in part to their explosive abilities to finish fights. The grizzled MMA veterans boast a total of 24 knockout wins in their storied careers, so why not bet on a little bit of throwback magic during the UFC's return to Montreal?
Shevchenko is far and away the greatest women's flyweight champion of all-time. Her devastating finishes of Jessica Eye, Katlyn Cerminara, and Jessica Andrade will go down in UFC history. I expect her opponent, Manon Fiorot, to try and turn this championship bout into a kickboxing match. Which should open up opportunities for Shevchenko to take her down and finish the fight.
With five straight wins, Canadian bantamweight Aiemann Zahabi is worthy of a bout with Aldo. However, Zahabi is nearly the same age as the Brazilian legend, and has less than half of his MMA experience. I'm betting on one last highlight reel knockout from Aldo at UFC 315.
