<p>The UFC will return to Las Vegas this weekend after a terrific international event, and there is plenty of hype and excitement surrounding this sport. Another Fight Night is set to take place this weekend, and there are some big bouts that will be taking place in Las Vegas.</p>



<p>Once again, betting on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/ufc-mma/">UFC</a> is going to unlock some great betting opportunities, especially when looking at the entire fight card of the day. Here is a look at some of the top betting options at UFC Fight Night, and the bets that you should be looking to make. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-heavyweights-ready-to-battle-it-out">Heavyweights Ready to Battle it Out</h2>



<p>The heavyweight division is going to be a major focus this weekend as that will be the main event of the night in Las Vegas. This bout will feature Jairzinho Rozenstruik taking on Shamil Gaziev in what should be an electric main event.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gaziev is actually the betting favorite in this event at -160, but that also means that the betting odds at +140 for Rozenstruik are extremely tight. Since these are two heavyweight fighters that are trying to get to a championship bout, that is going to put some added pressure on each fighter.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gaziev might be the betting favorite this weekend, but there is more value in betting on Rozenstruik. This event is going to come down to a decision, and it’s best to look at the value and bet on the underdog in this matchup.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Our top UFC sports betting option is here!</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-great-co-main-event">A Great Co-Main Event</h2>



<p>Most UFC Fight Nights tend to feature a co-main event, and that is going to be the case this weekend in Las Vegas. It will be Vitor Petrino taking on Tyson Pedro, and this is not a bout that has tight betting lines.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Petrino has had a ton of success in coming up in the Contender Series and Dana White is protecting his own in this bout. Pedro has had some big fights throughout his career, but he always tends to come up short when it matters the most.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Looking for value and upsets is always a goal when betting on UFC matchups, but that shouldn’t be the case in this one. Petrino is going to have a massive following in Las Vegas in this matchup and he will come up with a big win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-one-potential-upset-pick">One Potential Upset Pick</h2>



<p>Looking for the biggest upset of the night should always be your focus when betting on UFC, and there is one option that really stands out. This is going to come in one of the last fights of the night as Alex Perez is a big betting underdog against Muhammah Mokaev.</p>



<p>Even though this event really stands out as a great chance to cash in on an upset, there could still be a great battle brewing between the two fighters. Perez is a significant underdog in this bout even though he has proven that he can win big fights throughout his career.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Both of these fighters are going to be going for a knockout punch early in this matchup, and that means that one big blow can end the fight. Taking Perez at +290 is the way to go in this fight, and it’s also a result that will come with a great payout to set the stage for the rest of the night.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There are going to be some other underdogs to consider, but betting on Alex Perez is the top option to explore.</p>
