The early UFC 303 odds are ripe for some profitable bets. The new main event between Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira features some solid value, while the Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes co-main is also interesting.
With other big-profile fights on the main card, UFC 303 projects to be a hell of a ride in Las Vegas on June 29.

How To Watch UFC 303: Pereira vs prochazka 2
UFC 303 Best Bet: pereira to win (-150)
The odds offer great value to take Pereira on the ML. Any further movement (to -200, for example) would've forced us to bet the champ by KO, but we need not worry about that now.
This fight is a rematch of the pair's meeting at UFC 295 when Pereira flatlined Prochazka in Round 2. Alex's recipe to victory is tried and true at this point: crunch leg kicks, get your opponent moving backward, and set up the check hook. A quick move of the head might give Jiri an opening to crack Pereira with an overhand counter, but Pereira knows Jiri well after their first fight.
I haven't seen anything from Jiri to suggest he'll have a smarter approach this time around vs "Poatan." You can read more on my Pereira-Prochazka picks here.

UFC 303: My Fight of the Night — Machado Garry vs Page
These two fellas will put on a show. Well, I know MVP will. Ian Garry markets himself as a future champion, but I've yet to really see a championship-caliber performance from the Irishman. While he can strike and keep a pace, his fights have been a little dull lately. Venom Page cures all that.
Page is so awkward, which will force Garry into action. If MVP dances around and Garry doesn't engage, he'll lose. And, again, Garry isn't far from a title shot, so this bout means a lot.
I imagine this fight will be chalked to go the distance. Spoiler: this fight will go the distance, and what a doozy it'll be.
