Top UFC 281 Parlay Picks: Will Zhang Dominate Against Esparza?

A middleweight title grudge match headlines the UFC's return to the World's Most Famous Arena when champion Israel Adesanya squares off with kickboxing rival Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 281 on Saturday night. Read on for our UFC 281 top parlay picks.

Pereira owns two kickboxing victories over Adesanya, including a scintillating left-hook knockout at a Glory event back in 2017. That doesn't necessarily translate to MMA success, but it might give “Poatan” a bit of a mental edge. Pereira punched his ticket to a title shot with a br utal decimation of top-10 middleweight Sean Strickland back at UFC 276 in July.

Adesanya is undefeated during his middleweight campaign, with his lone loss coming at light heavyweight. He's turned aside the very best the division can offer. “The Last Stylebender” outlasted Jared Cannonier during his last trip to the Octagon, retaining the 185-pound strap via unanimous decision. 

Also on the card is a strawweight title bout pitting champion Carla Esparza against former champion Zhang Weili, and all-time great Frankie Edgar's retirement fight.
