After an unsatisfying UFC 329 main event (sometimes bad things happen to bad people), the UFC machine rolls on, hitting up Oklahoma City for the first time in nine years this Saturday. For my MMA Parlay of the Week: UFC Oklahoma City, I’m parlaying the top two fights of the night. Let’s get it on, c’mon!

MMA Parlay of the Week: Oklahoma City
UFC Fight Night: Du Plessis vs Usman (aka UFC Oklahoma City)
Start Time: 5:00 PM EST
We’ve got fairly wide odds for the night’s top two fights, but putting them together is a good way to get close to even money. First to the main event, where two former UFC champions, Dricus du Plessis and Kamaru Usman, battle for perhaps the next title shot at middleweight.
I like DDP to prevail in this one, as he’s still closer to his prime and should have a size and strength advantage, not to mention a herky-jerky, odd fighting style to figure out.
Middleweights are in the co-main event also, and I expect Christian Leroy Duncan to batter Jared Cannonier on the feet – I’m just hoping he’s able to keep the fight standing, as Cannonier is better than CLD on the mat.
