This is a rematch of UFC 143, when he submitted Holloway via armbar back on Feb. 4, 2012. Look for Poirier to snag the strap from the the Hawai’i Elite MMA fighter in this one for a nice payday.

The interim middleweight title fight between Kelvin Gastelum (+148) and Israel Adesanya (-182) figures to be a war, but it’s a war ‘The Last Stylebender’ is going to win. Nigeria’s Adesanya puts his perfect 16-0-0 record on the line, and you’ll want to back the favorite in this one. Adesanya made weight at 183 pounds Thursday, while Gastelum checked in at 184.

Ufc Betting Guide

Adesanya posted a unanimous win against Anderson Silva last time out at UFC 234. Three of his past four fights have gone to the judges card as his competition has improved. This one might go to the judges, too, but look for Adesanya to use his height and reach advantage to keep Gastelum at bay.

Adesanya stands 6-foot-4 to 5-foot-9 of Gastelum, and Adesanya has an 80-inch to 71-inch reach advantage, too.

In addition, Adesanya has posted a 53.87 significant strike accuracy percentage to just 43.69 percent for Gastelum.

Also on the main card, you’ll want a stock in Alan Jouban (-120) in his three-round welterweight bout against Dwight Grant (-102). Jouban holds a distinct advantage is significant strike accuracy (53.10 to 39.71). Jouban has lost two of the past three events, but the 37-year-old has fought much stiffer competition than Grant, who enters with the more impressive record. Grant also has the more impressive nickname, too – ‘The Body Snatcher‘ – but he will be unimpressive in what ends up his third professional loss.

Olivier Saint Preux (-102) over Nikita Krylov – unanimous decision

The former University of Tennessee linebacker has a much better reach, and takedown accuracy. He just needs to avoid the knockout blow, as Krylov holds a big significant strike advantage.

Eryk Anders (-220) over Khalil Rountree – knockout, Round 2

Anders has a slight reach disadvantage, but he has a much better significant strike accuracy percentage (50.56 to 34.48), and a better ground game.

Poliana Botelho (-178) over Lauren Mueller – KO/TKO, Round 2

The Nova Unaio fighter is coming off a submission loss to Cynthia Calvillo on Nov. 17, 2018. Look for Botelho to bounce back in style.

Montel Jackson (-480) over Andre Soukhamthath – KO/TKO, Round 2

Jackson is a masher, and the heavy favorite will make ‘Quik’ work of Soukhamthath.
