Where to Find the Best Odds for UFC 257 – Top Odds for McGregor to Win by KO and More

Conor McGregor makes his eagerly awaited return to the cage in a mouthwatering rematch with Dustin Poirier this Saturday, January 23.
The latest odds for McGregor vs. Poirier are well and truly in favor of the Irishman, who beat Louisiana’s best in a featherweight contest back in 2014.
This is the glamorous fight on the card and will certainly attract more action than the rest of the bouts on the card. But there is more than one scrap to get excited about this Saturday.
If you are betting on UFC 257, you will surely be looking for the best odds for McGregor vs. Poirier 2, right? Well, today, I’m going to share the top odds for 2021’s fight of the year, so that’s one less worry on your mind.
Now, you could trawl site after site looking for the great odds for UFC 257. You could do that. Or, you can simply keep reading to get your hands on what I have in store for you today.
I’ve put together the best odds for UFC 257, including McGregor vs. Poirier 2, and have highlighted the sites where you can find them.
Let’s start with what is bound to be the top bet for this weekend’s fights.
McGregor to Win at UFC 257
US Bettors interested in odds for McGregor to win can get -310 with Bovada.
McGregor’s odds for Poirier opened at -175 but have gradually shortened as we approach the fight. That’s not unusual whatsoever. In fact, one of the best ways to make money betting on McGregor fights is to take his early odds. It’s almost always a good idea.
“But what good is that to me now,” you ask? Well, it’s something to keep in mind for the next time he fights.
What you can do now, however, is get on the best odds for McGregor to beat Poirier with Bovada (-310) if betting with US sites. And, if you’re betting at other sites, McGregor’s top odds to win at UFC 257 are 1.34 with TonyBet.
I’m not crazy about taking McGregor’s moneyline odds to beat Poirier, as I think this is a closer fight than the line suggests. But given the mass appeal of “The Notorious,” there is always ridiculous action on him whenever he fights.
Best Odds for Poirier to Beat McGregor
If these odds for McGregor to win have you feeling less than enthused, you can always consider betting against him. If the price is right, of course.
Now, you might not know a lot about his opponent, Dustin Poirier. But I do. And I can list five reasons why Poirier can beat McGregor in Saturday’s colossal rematch, and then some.
Aside from being an incredibly well-rounded mixed martial artist, “The Diamond” is very durable and has the energy to burn. There is no doubt that there will be plenty of bettors championing the American’s cause in the fight and hoping he can help them make money betting on UFC 257.

- Poirier’s odds to beat McGregor by submission are +1000 with BetOnline and 11.00 with Betway.
- All of McGregor’s four losses in MMA have come by way of submission, making these odds a steal!
Now, anyone betting on Poirier for real money can find odds of +260 BetOnline and 3.3 with Betway.
If you like these odds, it’s more than likely because you can see that the value on the line for the headline fight at UFC 257 is all with the American. The bonus for you is that these are the most desirable odds you will find, on the top UFC sportsbooks, for McGregor vs. Poirier.
I’ll throw my cards down and say that I, too, like these Poirier odds to beat McGregor. I like them so much, in fact, that I picked Poirier to beat McGregor in my dedicated betting guide for the rematch.
McGregor to Win by KO/TKO
Yes, I like Poirier’s odds, but anyone who discounts McGregor’s chances is acting a tad foolish.
McGregor is renowned for his lethal left hand and is certainly one of the best strikers to ever grace the Octagon. As such, there will be tons of money placed on the Dubliner to knock Poirier out, as he did the first time these men met in 2014.
And, the last time he appeared in the cage, he did this to poor Donald Cerrone.
HE. IS. BACK.

Betting on McGregor to win by KO/TKO won’t get you the juiciest UFC 257 odds. So, it pays to get the best odds for the fight you can find if this is your favorite bet.
For US sites, head over to MyBookie for odds of -200. Non-US punters can get their hands on odds of 1.53 with 10Bet for the 32-year-old to add another stoppage to his collection.
Poirier vs. McGregor 1 Striking Stats | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fighter | Knockdowns | Sig. Strikes | Sig. Strikes % | Total Strikes |
Dustin Poirier | 0 | 10/19 | 52% | 19 |
Conor McGregor | 1 | 9/29 | 31% | 29 |
He has done it before, but can he do it again? If McGregor does find a way past Poirier, it will more than likely be down to that “Celtic Cross” of his.
But is that all that will influence this fight? If you’re not keen on the odds above, here are a few things that might change your mind.
Hooker to Beat Chandler
Moving past the main event of the evening, I just know that diehard fans looking for the best odds for UFC 257 will be happy with the line for Dan Hooker vs. Michael Chandler.
As it stands, Hooker’s odds to win at UFC 257 make him the favorite against the former three-time Bellator lightweight champion. I agree that he should be the favorite, but there are plenty of Chandler fanboys out there that will be rooting for him.
No, not that Chandler.
More to the point, the best odds for Hooker to beat Chandler — and make those fanboys shake their heads in disbelief — are the ones I have shared with you above. One of my top tips for betting on UFC 257 is a win for Hooker by KO/TKO. But the moneyline is more than sweet enough at these prices.
So, if you’re wagering on UFC 257 from the US, Dan Hooker’s best odds are -125 with BetNow. For anyone outside of the US, get odds of 1.8 with Betway, the “Hangman” to do the job.
Chandler to Beat Hooker
If you have found yourself lost in the wilderness of the best online betting sites for MMA, fear not, my friend.
I know you’ve been out there, desperately looking for the top odds for wagering on UFC 257, and haven’t done as well as you would have liked. But it’s cool — if you are backing the former Bellator champ, I have you covered.
Chandler’s best odds to beat Hooker are +113 with BetOnline (at US sites, of course) and 1.95 with 10Bet.
Are you satisfied with those odds? If I were hunting for odds for a Chandler win over Hooker, I cannot say that I would be disappointed at all.
He has a very solid resume, elite wrestling, and can cause his Kiwi opponent trouble inside the cage. I can certainly see pathways to victory for the 34-year-old, even if I don’t agree that he will win.
Hooker is just too big and too awkward, in my opinion.
But this is MMA. Anything can happen when that cage door closes. The decision you have to make is whether there is true betting value in the odds for Chandler, and go from there.
