UFC 301 Betting Results

UFC 301 delivered a night of thrilling fights as the promotion visited Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for a 13-bout card on Saturday May 4, 2024.

In the main event, Alexandre Pantoja retained his UFC Flyweight Championship by defeating Steve Erceg via unanimous decision.

Pantoja, a -175 favorite, won his sixth straight fight on Saturday and second title defense. 

In the co-main event, Brazilian icon and UFC Hall of Famer Jose Aldo proved his greatness is far from over. Aldo dominated Jonathan Martinez, ultimately securing a clear unanimous decision victory. 

Bettors watched favorites ring the register with an 11-2 mark but one of the underdogs to connect was a stunner. UFC veteran Anthony Smith silenced the doubters, submitting the highly-regarded Vitor Petrino in a thrilling upset as a +400 underdog in their light heavyweight match.

Including Smith’s win, six of the 13 fights were finished inside the distance with four knockouts and two submissions.
