Dana White and the UFC always seem to deliver some big events each weekend, but nothing is going to top what’s coming this weekend. UFC 300 might end up being the biggest night in the history of UFC as there are a number of title matches set to take place.
Not only are fans going to be treated to some entertaining bouts throughout the day on Saturday, but there will also be some great betting options out there as well. Here is a look at some of the top fights set to take place this weekend, and the best betting options that should be explored.
Pereira-Hill For Title Belt
The main event at UFC 300 will be a title match in the light heavyweight division as Jamahal Hill is set to take on Alex Pereira. The betting odds for this bout are extremely tight, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a fight that is going to last long.
Jamahal Hill had to give up the belt in the light heavyweight division due to an Achilles injury, and he is going to be pushing hard to get that back. Alex Pereira currently holds the belt and he decided to jump up a weight class in order to get that done.
There is a ton of value in betting on Hill at +114 to win this fight as he has already proven that he is nearly impossible to beat. Taking the under 1.5 rounds is another great option to explore as both fighters will be aggressive in this matchup.
This is going to be the perfect way to wrap up the night, and this highly-anticipated trilogy.
Chinese Champions Squaring Off
The co-main event will feature a pair of strawweight fighters from China, and a title will be on the line in this belt as well. For the first time in history, a pair of champions from that country will square off as Xiaonan Yan looks to pull off a major upset against Weili Zhang.
Both of these fighters have had some great fights throughout their career, and each is going to be looking to win this with skill as opposed to just pure strength. This should be a fight that goes the entire five rounds, and that will only add to the drama and excitement.
While Yan is clearly a worthy challenger that deserves this shot, it’s wise to bet on Zhang to win this fight as she holds on to her strawweight title.
Holloway-Gaethje
While the fight between Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje is not the co-main or main event at UFC 300, it’s going to have the look and feel of a massive matchup. These are two of the most accomplished fighters in UFC, and both men are good enough to put on an absolute show in the Octagon.
Holloway and Gaethje have both been given a ton of high profile fights throughout the years, and they won’t be afraid to take advantage of the moment. There will be some big blows in this bout as neither fighter is afraid to take some big chances.
Gaethje is a slight betting favorite for a weekend in this bout, and he comes into this fight with momenth. Bet on Gaethje at -163 to come up with a win over Max Holloway.
Other Great Bouts
Since this is such a big event in UFC history, it’s going to be wise to look at the entire fight card as there will be some great matchups. Not only will this be a great event to watch, but there is a chance to win some serious money.
Be sure to check out the odds and options for both sides of each bout as you don’t want to sell one fighter short.
