The UFC returns to Australia Using UFC 221, headlined by an showdown between middleweights Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero.

The co-main event comes with a tilt between New Zealander Mark Hunt and 26-year-old Curtis Blaydes.
The Best Bets for UFC Fight Night 125 of last week went 2-1. (The John Dodson garbage was canceled.) That pushes our general record to 18-11, however we lost a bit of money a week, decreasing our overall profit down to $66.33. (Perhaps I should return and read my 6 Tips for Successful MMA Betting?)
Time to get back to our ways with the best bets for UFC 221.
BEN NGUYEN (+100) VS JUSSIER FORMIGA (-120)
Jussier Formiga (20-5) can grapple and has one of the best back games in the business. He’s an leech if he gets his hooks in. But though Formiga has a better body of work contrary to some world-class guys in the branch, it’s difficult to bet against rising star Ben Nguyen (16-6).
“Ben 10” has improved certain aspects of his game, such as scrambling and takedown defense, to be able to maintain his fights standing. Why? Because if his fights stay upright, he’ll knock his opponent’s head off. He’s a prospective title contender who is only UFC loss came in what was a slobber-knocker of a struggle to Louis Smolka.
That +100 moneyline for Nguyen at BetOnline is a wonderful round number to wager on.
