Gippers Picks’ best bet is a two-leg parlay: fight over 3.5 rounds and Belal Muhammad money-line at −117 (shop as low as −130). He expects Muhammad to lean heavily on chain-wrestling, citing superior cardio over five rounds and the success Gilbert Burns enjoyed rag-dolling Jack Della Maddalena (JDM). While acknowledging JDM’s boxing can land a scare or two, Gippers believes Muhammad’s chin plus instant takedown response neutralize that risk. With Muhammad’s steady top control and pace, he projects a 48-47 or 49-46 decision, cashing both the over and the ML in one shot.

Gippers Picks recommended taking Valentina Shevchenko by decision at +215 rather than her +110 money-line, calling it the obvious value pocket. He argued Shevchenko is the craftier wrestler than Erin Blanchfield and will rely on perfectly timed double- and single-legs in open space rather than exhausting body-lock attempts. If Shevchenko can bank one of the first three rounds, Gippers sees the former champ stealing either Round 4 or 5 once Fiorot’s pace dips, resulting in a tight 48-47 scorecard. He also sprinkled a future on Fiorot to be champion by December 31 at +225 as a hedge, believing the immediate rematch window is small.

Gippers Picks’ favorite wager is a two-leg parlay that both Brad Katona’s bout and the Valentina Shevchenko vs Manon Fiorot title fight reach the judges, paying roughly plus money depending on the shop. He called Katona a "tough son of a bitch" who has repeatedly cashed his alternate-over tickets because he keeps plowing forward even when he is getting pieced up. On the co-main, Gippers expects a 25-minute technical kick-boxing match: Shevchenko and Fiorot are both durable, calculated, and unlikely to attempt low-percentage submissions. The only caveat, he said, is freak injuries—six of his parlays this year have died that way—but he still grades these two matchups as the highest-probability distance props on the entire UFC 315 slate and would not bother hedging.

Gippers Picks crafted a thoughtful three-leg parlay focused on fights projected to start slow and reach later rounds. The wagers include Dan Ige vs Sean Woodson over 2.5 rounds, Michael Chandler and Ilia Topuria's fights to start round 2, plus playing the Lopez (Ilia Topuria) main event fight to go over 1.5 rounds, securing a hedge opportunity with a chalky last leg. Gippers highlights that both Chandler and Topuria's five-round bouts will commence conservatively, extending fight length, and maximizes risk management by placing the chalky leg last to allow hedging. This strategy yields a combined parlay at plus 110.

Gippers Picks is highly confident in Jean Silva achieving a knockout against Bryce Mitchell, emphasizing Silva's significant edge in stand-up striking. Silva is described as calculated and patient, waiting for the right opening for his jab or hook combinations. Gippers expect Mitchell might have early success with takedowns in round one, but Silva has strong takedown defense, specifically honed at The Fighting Nerds gym—one of MMA's hottest gyms now. Given Mitchell's vulnerability to power punchers, Gippers is especially enthusiastic about betting Silva by knockout at +120 and specifically via second round knockout for even larger odds.
