Heavyweight Championship Match
The heavyweight championship match is the headliner for the night. The current two-time champion is Stipe Miocic. This Croatian American has successfully defended his title four times across his two reigns.
The odds at Bovada suggest that this will be one of his toughest battles yet. Bovada is a standard-bearer when it comes to odds, and really almost everything else when it comes to online sportsbooks. Check out the full Bovada review here.
That is because he is going against Francis Ngannou. This Cameroonian heavyweight fighter is one tough cookie. He is truly legendary. He is currently ranked number one in the UFC heavyweight rankings, thus his upshot odds.
Plus, he has the record for the hardest punch in UFC history. So yeah, what out for those bullets. He also invests heavily in charity sports organizations in Cameroon.
Go with Ngannou here. He is ranked number one for a reason. With those hard pouches, I would expect this to be a fast knockout as well, in terms of over/under and method of victory bets.
Featherweight Championship Match
The UFC featherweight championship bout is between Alexander Volkanovski and Biran Ortega. Volkanovski is the current champion and has been since December 2019. He has already defended his title against Max Holloway, scraping out a narrow victory in a split decision.
According to BetOnline’s odds, he should have a much easier time defending his title this time against Ortega. And BetOnline is a great sportsbook, known for its fast and professional customer service. Read the full BetOnline review here.
If anyone can take down Volkanovski, it will be Ortega. He is currently ranked number 2 in the UFC featherweight rankings. However, he will likely not be able to take down the champ, who is just too good right now.
Go with the favorite here, but expect the match to drag on many rounds and be decided by a split decision.
