MEXICO CITY – The UFC is headed to Mexico City for Fight Night that will be headlined by Mexican UFC Fighter, Brandon Moreno as he takes on Steve Erceg.

Outside of the Moreno and Erceg bout, there is value on several other fights throughout the card and specifically on Mexican fighters. There are three different fights that we are looking at here, and each with plus money odds on legal sports betting sites.

Erceg Spoils Moreno In Mexico City

Brandon Moreno Vs. Steve Erceg

Brandon Moreno: -235
Steve Erceg: +195

Unfortunately for the fans in Mexico City, this is a great plus money spot to take Erceg to come out on top. Moreno has certainly lost a step having dropped two of his last three fights and three of his last six overall.

On the other hand, Erceg has lost his last two, however, he boasts a 12-3 record overall and a 3-2 record in the UFC. He’s one of the quickest rising fighters in the flyweight division having just fought for the title in mid-2024. That said, Erceg is certainly the hungrier fighter as he looks to get back into title contention here leaving bettors with great odds.

Undervalued Odds On Torres To win Vs. Dober

Manuel Torres Vs. Drew Dober

Manuel Torres: +102
Drew Dober: -122

There is no reason that UFC betting sites should have the odds for this one as close as they are or even in favor of Dober. Torres should walk into his home country and get the job done with ease. Dober is 36 years old and spiraling with just a 1-3 record in his last four fights while Torres is on the come up.

Torres is 4-1 in the UFC and 15-3 overall. He also offers dual threat ability as both a knockout and submission specialist with 14 of his 15 wins coming by knockout or submission. In his four UFC wins, he’s finished his opponent in the first round each time with three knockouts and one submission.

Rosas Vs. Morales Sees An Early Finish

Will Raul Rosas Vs. Vince Morales Go The Distance?

Yes -150
No +115

There is some decent plus money odds on this fight not going the distance between Raul Rosas and Vince Morales. Both have seen early finishes in their recent fights. Rosas has seen early finishes in three of his last five bouts while Morales is 50% with two early finishes in his last four outings. Going even further on Rosas, he’s finished his opponent early in two of his last three fights.
