On Saturday night in UFC 234 at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, Robert Whittaker will Shield his middleweight title against the fourth-ranked Competition, Kelvin Gastelum.
In the co-main occasion, all-time great Anderson Silva takes on the new breed of fighter, striking phenom Israel Adesanya, in a bout with name implications at stake.
It’s a night of middleweight action in Melbourne, however there are some heavyweight bets out there for lovers of UFC betting to make, so let’s get into it.
Whittaker-Gastelum UFC 234 Betting Evaluation The most important event on Saturday is that a cracker of a struggle between two former Ultimate Fighter champions with comparable strengths.
Whittaker’s run to the middleweight title was spearheaded by a harmful, multi-layered game that was remarkable. Whittaker can press forward or counter, works in conjunction, has got power in his punches and sharp leg kicks he can set pace with.
“Bobby Knuckles” has also become an elite wrestler, winning the Australian championships just last year.
Unexpectedly, Gastelum came to MMA using a background in high school wrestling and has come to be a highly dangerous striker. On the feet, Gastelum prefers a pressure-oriented style, where he could throw in conjunction and search for the knockout.
Gastelum also prefers to use his wrestling much more offensively than Whittaker, shooting takedowns at almost twice the speed of the UFC middleweight winner.
Whittaker-Gastelum Bets Bets
Though the two men can wrestle, both prefer striking contests and Whittaker specifically are going to have the ability to dictate where this battle takes place. This implies this should largely be a striking competition and there, Whittaker gets the benefit.
Whittaker has more tools, works in a higher rate, and is brilliant at adjusting over time. In addition to this, Yoel Romero did everything short of decapitate him in their last fight and was not able to stop Whittaker, therefore it is hard to believe Gastelum could do this.
Whittaker is a -265 favorite per SugarHouse, and those chances believe spot on. But, Whittaker by choice is +200 at SugarHouse, and considering Whittaker is the heavy favorite and Gastelum has only been stopped once — and that has been by submission, a skill we have yet to watch from Whittaker — that is certainly worth a wager.
UFC 234 Silva-Adesanya Betting Analysis When Anderson Silva was on top of the MMA world, he always insisted that the struggle he’d most like to possess would be contrary to his clone. Now that Silva is at the twilight of his career, he eventually gets his wish, or , the next best thing.
Israel Adesanya is the hottest prospect in MMA right now, having made his UFC debut only last year and racking up four impressive victories with a stylish, violent striking match reminiscent of Silva’s prime.
Adesanya can do everything on the toes and unlike Silva, he’s also more prone to initiating offense instead of waiting to counterstrike.
Silva is the Best striker in MMA history and in his finest, he blurs the lines
