With just over a month left until the event, you can increase your profit potential by investing in future bets.
Check out below what the most important fights on the card will be and the return margins offered by the Oddsshark.com to start planning.
Robert whittaker x Yoel romero
At UFC 213 in Las Vegas, Robert whittaker overcame the favoritism of Yoel romero, and by unanimous decision he became the first Australian fighter to win a belt. After recovering from a serious bowel problem, he returns to the octagon to defend his title against the Cuban himself, who at 41 still dreams of ending his career as champion.
Romero is coming off a knockout over Luke Rockhold at UFC 221, when he replaced Whittaker, and thanks to his good performance he earned the right to compete in this rematch. In his career, he has a record of 13 wins and two losses.
At 27 years old, Whittaker has 19 wins in 23 career appearances, and has had the better of his last eight fights.
According to Oddsshark.com, the Australian is the most likely to win again, with a return of R$1,48/R$1,00. If Romero finally wins the belt, the bettor will receive R$2,65 for every real bet.
Rafael dos Anjos x Colby covington
In yet another fight with a belt up for grabs, the first Brazilian UFC lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos, he could make history if he manages to repeat the feat among middleweights. To do this, you need to beat the loudmouth Colby covington, a tough fighter, who has a record of 13 wins and one loss, and in his last fight he overcame Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night in São Paulo.
More experienced, Rafael has been in the UFC since 2009, and has a record of 28 wins and nine losses. The Brazilian got the better of his three fights in 2017, against Tarec saffiedine , Neil Magny e Robbie Lawler.
Despite the balance, the Oddsshark.com points to a slight favoritism for dos Anjos, who if they win will provide a 77% profit, while a victory for Covinton will return double the amount bet.
alistair overeem x Curtis blaydes
In the fight between the giants alistair overeem e Curtis blaydes, the Dutchman, who is second in the division's rankings, and was once a title challenger, is looking to recover after being knocked out in a resounding way by Francis Ngannou. Overeem, 37 years old, has an extensive record of 43 wins, 16 losses and one “No Contest”.
Curtis blaydes, in turn, is fifth in the rankings, but is going through an excellent phase, and is undefeated in five fights, with victories in the last three, against Daniel Omielańczuk, Oleksiy Oliynyk, Mark Hunt. His record is nine wins and one defeat.
As he is a rising fighter, younger and has the support of the local fans, the North American is considered the favorite, with a return to victory predicted by the Oddsshark.com at R$ 1,77 for each real wagered. An eventual Overeem triumph will guarantee 100% profit.
UFC debutant, the Australian Megan anderson She is a former featherweight champion at Invicta FC, and has eight wins and two losses on her record. She comes from four consecutive knockout victories, and is seen as a likely opponent for the Brazilian Chris Cyborg in a near future.
Your opponent will be the experienced one Holly holm, who became notable for defeating Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in 2015, but has since lost four of his five fights. The former UFC bantamweight champion has a record of 11 wins and four losses, and despite being down, she is always a dangerous fighter.
According to Oddsshark.com, an Anderson triumph is priced at R$2,70/R$1,00, but the favoritism really belongs to Holm, who if he wins guarantees a 47% profit.
