One of the biggest combat sports events in history, UFC Freedom 250, is taking place tonight at the White House. This event is headlined by reigning Lightweight Champion Ilia Topuria against Interim Champion Justin Gaethje. Alex Pereira looks to become a three-division champion in the co-main event when he faces Ciryl Gane for the Interim Heavyweight title.
Check out my favorite same game parlay for tonight’s UFC Freedom 250 card.
Top Same Game Parlay (SGP) Bet:
Ilia Topuria to Win by KO/TKO/DQ vs. Justin Gaethje
Alex Pereira to Win by KO/TKO/DQ vs. Ciryl Gane
Bo Nickal to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission vs. Kyle Daukaus
SGP odds: +605
El Matador is a -470 favorite while Gaethje is a +260 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Gaethje is a skilled striker with his own power, but Topuria is a poor stylistic matchup for him. Topuria does have eight career submissions, but he has focused on his striking since entering the UFC. Six of his previous eight victories have come by knockout, and he has won all three of his past title fights by knockout as well. The first leg of my parlay is getting Topuria to win by knockout at -225.
Alex Pereira is 6-2 with six knockouts in eight UFC title fights and last beat Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320. Now, Pereira is moving up to the Heavyweight division to take on Ciryl Gane for the Interim title. Gane is 13-2 with nine finishes, and his two career losses have come against Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. In his last fight, Gane’s fight against Tom Aspinall ended in a draw after an eye poke.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Gane is -112 while Pereira is -108. Even though Pereira is moving up a weight division, his power should translate as it has before. 11 of Pereira’s 13 MMA victories have come by knockout, and he hasn’t had a decision win since July 2023.
Bo Nickal is 8-1 with seven finishes and will look to follow up his previous knockout with another elite performance against Kyle Daukaus. Daukaus returned to the UFC in August 2025 and has since picked up two first-round finishes. Even though Daukaus has won six straight fights, Nickal is still the more well-rounded and higher-level fighter. Nickal is a -305 favorite, with Daukaus being the underdog at +245 in this contest. Since seven of his eight wins have come by knockout or submission, I’m backing Nickal to win by finish at -105.
