The early prelims begin at 6 p.m ET on ESPN/ ESPN+) with the prelims started at 8 p.m. ET, and the main card on Pay-Per-View at 10 p.m. ET.
Tuivasa has picked up consecutive first-round KO/TKO victories over Harry Hunsucker and Stefan Struve after a three-bout skid. In 15 career professional bouts, he is 11-1 via KO/TKO, and he has 13 stoppages and just two fights go the distance.

UFC 264 Tai Tuivasa vs. Greg Hardy: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Tuivasa 12-3-0 | Hardy 7-3-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
This fight is going to be an absolute brawl, and it's going to end via knockout. As such, without specifying a winner, play KO/TKO/DQ (-165): HOW WILL THE FIGHT FINISH?
In addition, I like TUIVASA (-135) for the win on the 2-way line, as I think he is a little more polished than the former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Hardy (+110). TUIVASA BY KO/TKO OR DQ (+150) is also a value play on the 5-way line.

Over/Under (O/U)
This fight is not going to need the judges. As such, albeit a bit expensive, take NO (-200): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? for a slam-dunk play.
Going for UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-150) is an even better value, and should come in as well.
