Jon Jones vs. Dominic Reyes
Jon Jones is the current UFC lightheavyweight champion of the world and arguably the greatest MMA fighter ever.
Jones has run through the competition quite easily and will now face Dominic Reyes who is a huge underdog.
Reyes has been quite outspoken leading up to the fight and has thrashed talked the champ which has upset Jones. The biggest positive that Reyes brings to the fight is his athleticism but that’s nothing new to Jon Jones as he has faced and beaten some of the best fighters in the world including Rampage Jackson, Daniel Cormier, Alex Gustafsson, Shogun Rua and Vitor Belfort.
If Jones keeps his championship streak going, it is quite likely that he might move up to the heavyweight division for his next fight and challenge the champ Stipe Miocic.
Current Odds: Jon Jones (-500), Dominic Reyes (+350)
Valentina Shevchenko vs. Katlyn Chookagian
The co-main event will see women’s fly weight champ Shevchenko take on number one contender Katlyn Chookagian. Shevchenko has been dominant in her title defenses so far and is the betting favourite.
Current Odds: Valentina Shevchenko (-1200), Katlyn Chookagian (+700)
The UFC has packed the main card with a number of exciting fights including hometown favourite Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis who will take on Ilir Latifi who will be moving up from lightheavyweight to heavyweight for the first time. Lewis goes in as the favourite with odds of -265 to Latifi’s +205. Lewis is a fan favourite who will want to get back on a winning streak and make one more push for a championship run.
The other fights to watch out for include a clash at heavyweight between Juan Adams and Justin Tafa who are both coming off losses. The bookies have Adams as the favourite with odds of -250 and Tafa at +195.
