UFC 310 is only a day away, and for extra betting insight into these odds, we've turned to our friends at BetMGM, who have us covered for the UFC 310 betting handles in trends.
A little teaser before we dive in: the most bet-on fight, per BetMGM, is Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Ian Machado Garry, with the Alexandre Pantoja-Kai Asakura main event coming in second.
Remember, each sportsbook will receive slightly different action, but here are the most popular UFC 310 betting handles:
UFC 310: Pantoja vs Asakura Betting Handles
The big money is on Pantoja as we head into the weekend. While he commands just 26% of the ticket share, Pantoja has received 55% of the betting handle. That's not quite enough to alter the champ's -250 odds, but it tells us the sharp bettors like Pantoja and are willing to lay the chalk.

UFC 310: Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Ian Machado garry Betting Handles
This is the people's main event, as evidenced by the intense betting action at BetMGM. Shavkat opened as a -375 favorite and has grown to -400 thanks to 61% of the handle on him to win outright.
I'm on Garry in this fight — read about that in our picks article — and his 39% share of the betting handle alongside 81% of the tickets tell me many casual bettors are tossing small wagers on the Irishman to win.

This is such a strange card, so I'm not surprised the betting action is just as wonky. Despite being on the prelims, Movsar Evloev vs Aljamain Sterling has commanded the third-most tickets at BetMGM, so far. This should be a main-card fight, so I'm not surprised UFC fans are interested. But where is the action going? 62% of the handle is on Evloev in that fight. I agree with the public on this one and Evloev ML in several of my parlays heading into UFC 310.
The popular prop bets crack me up, too. I mean, I guess Kron Gracie by sub at +1200 isn't a bad play, but let's be a little more sensible in our bets. Shavkat by submission is a more logical choice, and I have sprinkles on him to win by sub in specific rounds Saturday. Asakura by KO is also respectable, as that appears to be the Japanese native's best shot to win. Garry by decision at +650 is another great sprinkle.
