The UFC returns to Australia with UFC 221, headlined by an showdown between middleweights Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero.
The co-main event comes with a heavyweight tilt between New Zealander Mark Hunt and 26-year-old Curtis Blaydes.
Last week’s Best Bets for UFC Fight Night 125 went 2-1. (The John Dodson scrap was canceled.) That pushes our general record to 18-11, but we lost a bit of cash last week, decreasing our entire profit down to $66.33. (Perhaps I need to go back and read my 6 Tips for Successful MMA Betting?)
Time to contact our profitable ways with the top bets for UFC 221.
BEN NGUYEN (+100) VS JUSSIER FORMIGA (-120)
Jussier Formiga (20-5) can grapple and has among the best back games in the company. He’s an absolute leech when he gets his pins. But even though Formiga has a much better body of work contrary to some world-class men in the branch, it’s hard to bet against rising star Ben Nguyen (16-6).
“Ben 10” has improved certain aspects of his game, such as scrambling and takedown defense, in order to keep his struggles standing. Why? Because if his fights stay upright, he’ll knock away the head of his opponent. He is a future title contender who’s only UFC loss came in what was a slobber-knocker of a fight to Louis Smolka.
This +100 moneyline for Nguyen at BetOnline is a nice round number to bet on.
