UFC Fight Night Vettori vs. Cannonier Odds
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Marvin Vettori | -165 |
| Jared Cannonier | +140 |
Vettori is the favorite at -125, while Cannonier is priced at -105, according to UFC odds by BetUS sportsbook. There are going to be other fights with larger spreads in the odds, so this line speaks to how competitive this fight will be.
These are very different fighting styles from these two combatants. Vettori is the much more aggressive fighter in this bout. Cannonier doesn’t have as much experience as Vettori but has fought some huge battles throughout his career.
This is a chance to take some value when betting, and backing Cannonier as a slight underdog at -105 is the way to go. There’s also an array of prop wagers, as per UFC Fight Night specials.
Either way, this is going to be the perfect conclusion to what should be a great day of fighting.
UFC Fight Night Silva vs. Tsarukyan Odds by BetUs
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
|
Joaquim Silva
|
+685 |
|
Arman Tsarukyan
|
-970 |
The UFC tries to have as many top 10 pairings as possible when putting together a Fight Night. Thus, Saturday’s penultimate fight will feature Joaquim Silva opposing Arman Tsarukyan.
This will be a lightweight battle. It’s a weight class that’s seen plenty of big battles over the last few weeks. Silva isn’t on the list of top challengers as of yet, but that could change with a win.
Joaquim Silva is the underdog both in ranking and in the odds, expect him to be aggressive in this bout. It’s not going to matter in the end, though. There’s a reason Tsarukyan is ranked for a reason.
He will win this bout with a knockout at some point.
Dalby vs. Salikhov UFC Odds by BetUs
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
|
Nicolas Dalby
|
+165 |
|
Muslim Salikhov
|
-195 |
With the first bout of the main card featuring a pair of veterans looking to get a big win on the resume, Nicolas Dalby draws Muslim Salikhov. These two fighters are well-known in the UFC.
Though neither fighter has been getting a ton of big fights over the last few years, Dalby and Salikhov have been consistent. It’s a fight that will be competitive, seeing some desperation.
Salikhov has been hard to beat in the Octagon but doesn’t have as much overall experience as Dalby. At some point, Dalby is going to take control of this fight. He will win this one by decision.
Hernandez vs. Bondar UFC Odds by BetUs
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
|
Denys Bondar
|
-130 |
|
Carlos Hernandez
|
+110 |
The preliminary card at UFC Fight Night is solid, although missing that signature fight. There aren’t many major bouts here, so it’s best to find one that has fighters with something to prove.
That will be the case when Carlos Hernandez and Denys Bondar meet in the bantamweight division. Both fell on some difficult times, but the winner at least ascends the ladder.
Hernandez had won eight bouts in a row heading into 2023. Things fell apart. Bondar suffered an injury 81 seconds into his first fight in January. He’s now healthy, ready to prove his worth.
