UFC 319 lands in Chicago with a middleweight title clash between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev. Beyond the main event, there are a couple of lines that look a bit off—and a three-leg parlay that balances logic with upside.

Mispriced Value Picks

1) Dricus du Plessis (+200 to +210) vs. Khamzat Chimaev (–240 to –260)

Books broadly list Chimaev as the favorite, but the champ du Plessis is live as an underdog. Stylistically, his durability, awkward-but-effective striking, and five-round experience can blunt Chimaev’s early surge and make later rounds swingy.

Value angle: Du Plessis moneyline. If you like a bigger number, consider decision props at select books.

2) Jessica Andrade (+115 to +130) vs. Lupita “Loopy” Godinez (–140 to –150)

Andrade’s underdog tag is intriguing given her power at 115 and seasoning against elite competition. Godinez’s pace and clinch control are real, but Andrade’s damage can sway rounds if she keeps it standing and denies extended control. DK moneyline board • Method-of-victory props

Value angle: Andrade moneyline; sprinkle “Andrade by Decision” at longer odds if you prefer a targeted prop.
