Prediction, pick for Jacob Malkoun vs. Torrez Finney at UFC 325

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

The second fight on the Prelims is a Middleweight contest between Jacob Malkoun vs. Torrez Finney. Malkoun is 4-3 in the UFC, with his last victory coming against Andre Petroski in March 2024. Finney, 27, is undefeated with an 11-0 record and beat Robert Valentin in his UFC debut in April 2025.

Here is my best bet for Jacob Malkoun vs. Torrez Finney at UFC 325.

Torrez Finney Moneyline (+130)

In October 2024, Finney became the first fighter to win three fights on Dana White’s Contender Series. Since then, he won his UFC debut against Robert Valentin in April 2025. Malkoun is 4-3 in the UFC and is coming off his first knockout win since 2019. Although Malkoun is slightly taller (5’9″ vs. 5’8″), Finney has a two-inch reach advantage (75″ vs. 73″).

Jacob Malkoun is a -155 favorite while Finney is the underdog at +130 on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Although Finney isn’t the best fighter on the feet, he makes up for it with his elite ability on the ground. Finney landed eight takedowns while finishing with over 13 minutes of control time in his UFC debut. If Finney can get this fight to the ground, it will be hard for Malkoun to keep up. Getting Finney at +130 is an excellent value play considering his upside.
