UFC 299 Betting Results

UFC 299 in Miami, Florida offered up a stacked 14-fight card and bettors watched UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O'Malley live up to the hype as he avenged his only loss while dominating Marlon "Chito" Vera at the Kaseya Center on Saturday March 9, 2024.

O'Malley captured a dominating Unanimous Decision victory and bettors watched him cash as a healthy -290 betting favorite.

It was the first defense of the UFC Bantamweight crown for O'Malley and his seventh straight victory inside the octagon.

Underdogs did step up at UFC 299, winning six of the 14 fights and the biggest stunner came in the co-main event as Dustin Poirier (+180) defeated Benoit Saint Denis. The "Diamond" overcame a rough first round to catch Saint Denis with multiple shots in the second to pull off the knockout win.

This result was just one of five fights that finished inside the distance as 'over' bettors relished with a 10-4 mark overall.
