UFC 307 Preview & Predictions
The top UFC action this weekend will be taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, and there have been some thrilling nights in that location before. UFC 307 is coming with a loaded fight card, and there are a ton of matchups that should lead to some excitement.
UFC not only provides some excellent entertainment, but it’s also a sport that comes with great betting opportunities. Here is a look at some of the top fights of the night, and the bets that you should look to make.
With a pair of title fights, there will be plenty of great action to focus on.
Pereira-Rountree Jr. in Main Event
The main event at UFC 307 is going to be a light heavyweight title bout, and it’s the third time that Pereira is fighting to retain his belt. The other two opportunities proved just how great Pereira is, and he is a big betting favorite this weekend as well.
Pereira comes into Saturday night with moneyline odds at -460, or you could bet on him to win this fight in less than two rounds at -144. Khalil Rountree Jr. is a great fighter of his own, but his odds at +360 suggest that he is a massive underdog.
Rountree does come into this fight with nothing to lose, and that could actually make him dangerous against Pereira. Even though that might end up being the case, it would be foolish to bet against Pereira.
Since the best chance to cash in is to take Pereira to win the fight in less than two rounds, that’s exactly what you should do.
Pennington-Pena Ready to Battle
The co-main event will feature a pair of bantamweights as Julianna Pena and Raquel Pennington will fight for the belt. This is a title fight with extremely tight odds, and this could easily be the fight of the night.
Pennington currently holds the bantamweight title belt, but she is going to have her work cut out for her in this one. This is a bout scheduled to go five rounds, and the odds suggest that it will take that long to finish.
This is a fight that Pena has been working towards for the last few months, and she will be up to the challenge. Expect an upset on Saturday night as going with Julianna Pena at +145 (at BetDSI) is going to be the bet to make.
Other Fighters to Back
There are going to be some other great fights that take place on Saturday, and some of the odds reflect that. It’s hard to really break down every single fight, because some of them simply feature a pair of contenders.
Jose Aldo will be fighting Mario Bautista on the main card on Saturday night, and this is a chance to cash in. Aldo comes into the match with odds at +120 and that should be a bet that you have to make.
Kevin Holland is another fighter that will get a win, and his odds are sitting at -146. There is also a great opportunity to go with Lasmin Lucindo as he will get past Marina Rodriguez.
