LAS VEGAS — UFC fans and bettors have a lot to look forward to during UFC 252 as there are five fights scheduled for the main card.

Starting with the main event of the night, Stipe Miocic will be defending the UFC Heavyweight Title against one of the best in the business, Daniel Cormier.

It is not surprising that legal sports betting sites have these odds very close but the fact that Cormier is the favorite to win the title is a big deal. This will be the third matchup between the two and in their previous fights, they each won once and both were decided by KO/TKO.

Cormier should have a slight upper hand in this one being that he is expected to come out stronger than ever being that when he defeated Miocic first, he ended things in the first round. When Miocic won, it took four rounds of action to get the job done. Bettors can lean towards Cormier here to regain the title.

Sean O’Malley Vs. Marlon Vera

Bettors should really be looking forward to some easy money in this one as Sean O’Malley is going up against Marlon Vera.

Things should be smooth sailing for O’Malley here as he is heavily favored and rightfully so being that he is an undefeated 12-0 in his career which includes eight TKO/KO’s. Marlin Vera, however, is coming off of a loss back in may where he was defeated by Song Yadong. O’Malley definitely has the upper hand here as he has all the momentum on his side being that Vera is coming off of a loss.

Junior Dos Santos Vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik

This should be another easy money fight for bettors as Jairzhino Rozenstruik is the favorite going up against Junior Dos Santos.

Rozenstruik is the clear favorite and bettors should be slamming his side of the line. He is coming off of his first loss of his career which leaves him at 10-1 while Dos Santos has lost his last two fights. In fact, in Dos Santos last 10 fights, he has been far from average as he has lost five of his last 10. Bettors should take advantage of the fact that Rozenstruik’s odds are not further than they are and bet on them with no worries.

John Dodson Vs. Merab Dvalishvili

Sticking with cashing out easy money, Merab Dvalishvili is heavily favored as he is going up against John Dodson.

Dvalishvili has the hot hand coming into one being that he has fought four times since 2018 and has won all four times. Dodson, on the other hand, has had it rough in his last five outings as he has gone a disappointing 2-3. Also, in his last four wins, Dvalishvili won all four by way of decision and in Dodson’s last four losses, they have all come by decision also. Bettors can easily bet the favorite here on Dvalishvili.

Herbert Burns Vs. Daniel Pineda

In the opening fight of the UFC 252 main card, Herbert Burns is going up against Daniel Pineda where Burns is seen as the heavier favorite here.

Burns is the favorite in the opening fight for a reason as he has only lost two fights in his career which leaves him at an 11-2 record while Pineda is more on the streakier side of things as his record comes in at 26-13. Burns is also on a hot streak as he has one his last five fights while in Pineda’s last five, he won four. Bettors can take Burns UFC odds here as he will more than likely add another win to his already impressive resume.
