UFC 305 Preview
UFC is returning to Australia for the second straight year, and fans in that part of the world will be treated to some great action. UFC 305 will be taking place this weekend, and there is a loaded fight card scheduled.
The UFC continues to do a great job of setting up some exciting bouts, and those bouts also lead to some excellent betting options. Instead of just watching the fights take place, it would be a good idea to start wagering on the exciting action.
Here is a look at some of the biggest bouts and top betting odds coming from UFC 305.
Main Event: Middleweight Championship
Every UFC event has a featured matchup, and this time around it will be two fighters that are trying to win the middleweight championship. Dricus Du Plessis will be facing off with Israel Adesanya, and the odds for this fight couldn’t be tighter.
This is not the first time that these team were in the Octagon against each other, and that should add to the drama and excitement. Du Plessis is the current holder of the middleweight belt, and it was Adesanya that was the betting favorite in the first matchup.
Even though Du Plessis is the current title holder, he is not the betting favorite to win the fight on Saturday. That would be Adesanya that is favored, and jumping on him at -115 is going to be the play in this bout.

Flyweights in Co-Main Event
While the main event on Saturday is going to deliver some fireworks, it’s impossible to ignore what is coming in the co-main event as well. This will feature a pair of flyweight fighters as Kai Kara-France will be facing off with Steve Erceg.
Kara-France will be making a return to the Octagon after dealing with some injuries, but he is a fighter that has been in the mix for a belt before. Erceg is the hometown hero fighting this weekend, and he is another fighter that has had a great run.
The betting odds are definitely impacted by Erceg fighting in front of his home crowd, and he is favored at -155. Kara-France is a worthy fighter, but he just won’t be able to keep pace in this battle as Erceg gets a big win.
Big Prelim Card Bout Scheduled
It’s never a good idea to ignore the preliminary card at a UFC event, but that’s especially the case this weekend. While a number of the prelim fights stand out, there is one to keep an eye on in particular.
Valter Walker and Junior Tafa will be battling it out on Saturday night, and the winner of this fight is going to have to earn his keep with a big win. Both Walker and Tafa are coming into this bout on a losing skid, and that will make it more important for each to get a win.
This is also a fight in which you should get some great betting value as the odds are tight. Jump on Walker at +115 as he will come up with the slight upset.
