Volkanovski vs Lopes Last-Minute Parlay
Let me be upfront. If this fight goes late, Volkanovski likely wins. He dominated the first meeting with 158 significant strikes to Lopes’ 63 over five rounds. His footwork, fight IQ, and championship experience are still elite.
But there’s a window. Volkanovski got knocked out by Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria in his previous two fights before beating Lopes. Those were his first stoppage losses since 2013. If you think his chin is cracked, this parlay targets that.
The Parlay: Diego Lopes by KO/TKO + Under 2.5 Rounds (+450 at Bet365)
