Here are the odds from our best UFC betting sites for Song Yadong vs. Sean O'Malley, which update in real time.
Moneyline analysis
The UFC 324 odds have O'Malley lined as a -200 betting favorite, and it's well deserved. Make no mistake about it, Suga Sean is elite. I understand he's coming in off two straight losses, but there's absolutely no shame in losing to Merab Dvalishvili twice, both in title fights. Song has heavy hands and pace, which could pose a problem with O'Malley. But the pressure is on the former champ to pick up the win, and if he can control the distance and pace, he can do just that. Our Cody Saftic backs O'Malley to win by decision tonight in his Sean O’Malley vs. Song Yadong prediction.
If you're looking for more fireworks, the main event should have you covered and our Gaethje vs. Pimblett picks break it down.
Total rounds analysis
This is only a three-round bout, and the Over 2.5 rounds is heavily favored. Both of these fighters have a slight recent history of going to the judges, and both are durable dudes, and neither has a history of being knocked out. It should be a technical, competitive slugfest, scored by the judges after 15 hard-fought minutes.
And it won't be the only fight to go all the way: there's a women's eliminator fight that should go all the way and my Silva vs. Namajunas analysis explains why.

| Sean O'Malley | Method of victory | Song Yadong |
|---|---|---|
| +350 | KO/TKO/DQ | +650 |
| +2700 | Submission | +2700 |
| +115 | Decision (Points) | +310 |
I like O'Malley to win this fight, but he's probably going to need the judges' approval to have his arm raised. While Suga's resume is full of KO/TKO wins, since making a serious leap in competition in 2022, he's seen the judges more often than not. Song is a similar story, usually going to the judges despite having his fair share of KO/TKO wins. If you think O'Malley can get the job done, and you think Song can hang in there, then O'Malley by decision (points) +115 is an excellent play to mix into your UFC picks.
