Kamaru Usman will defend his welterweight title on Saturday in a rematch against No. 4-ranked contender Jorge Masvidal in the main event of UFC 261 in Jacksonville. The main UFC 261 card is slated for 10 p.m. ET. Usman is a -400 favorite (risk $400 to win $100), while Masvidal is a +320 underdog (risk $100 to win $320) in the latest Usman vs. Masvidal 2 odds from William Hill Sportsbook.

Before you make your UFC 261 picks, make sure you see what the ultimate MMA insider, Ian Parker, has to say. 

A former fighter who's been in the industry for 15 years, Parker has managed some of the world's best, including former UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman, Costas Philippou and Gian Villante. Parker trained alongside UFC Hall of Famer Matt Serra. Now, Parker breaks down fights and makes betting picks for the Voice of the UFC, Jon Anik.

Parker is coming off a mind-boggling 2020 season. On the Anik & Florian Podcast, Parker went an astounding 58-14, returning $9,465 to $100 bettors who followed him. He hit 11 of his 17 underdog picks and 19 of 30 main events. Overall, Parker nailed an astonishing 81 percent of his plays. 

At UFC 259, Parker went 4-1 to deliver another profitable card for SportsLine members. His winners included Dominick Cruz (+120) against Casey Kenney (-140) in the featured preliminary fight. At UFC 260, his winning selections included Vicente Luque (-260) over Tyron Woodley in the welterweight co-main event.

Moreover, Parker is 8-1 on Bellator picks since joining SportsLine for a profit of nearly $700. Anyone who has followed Parker already has seen massive returns.

Now, he's turned his attention to UFC 261 and locked in his top picks. If you parlay them together, you're looking at a payout of better than 10-1!

For UFC 261, we can tell you Parker is backing Jim Crute (-190) to prevail against Chris Weidman (-105) to get his hand raised against Uriah Hall (-115) in a rematch of veteran middleweight contenders. He's also backing a fighter who "has the ability to take strikes and deliver them twice as hard" to get a convincing win! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any UFC 261 bets.
