Because of his immaculate record and 69% finish rate, Riley is going to be the considerable betting favorite with -285 UFC odds. Meanwhile, Kamaka III, who’s coming off a successful return in the promotion, will be the +225 betting underdog.

UFC 329: Luke Riley vs. Kai Kamaka III: Prediction
With Riley having the more diverse striking arsenal, I predict a TKO/KO finish for him over Kamaka III. Riley’s Muay Thai and kickboxing background will allow him to attack Kamaka III’s lead leg, as Kamaka III plants it heavily due to his boxing background.
Riley can invest early in calf kicks to compromise Kamaka III’s movement and suppress his power shots. Once Kamaka III slows down, Riley can start cutting off the angles and start firing his combinations to overwhelm Kamaka III.
Another thing Riley should do is let go of his hands early and not let Kamaka III control the center of the octagon. With both fighters having a striking background, I believe Riley will not be gun-shy, as the threat of a takedown will be minimal.
