The UFC returns to Las Vegas for the second time in three months with a familiar headliner: women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who defended her title against Miesha Tate at December’s UFC 168 just up the road at the MGM Grand.
This is perhaps the most intriguing fight of Rousey’s short career. Sara McMann is a true world-class wrestler and, like Rousey, also an Olympic medalist. The odds for the fight are closer than Rousey’s fights usually are, but the champion is still a significant favorite.

Those are the questions I’m attempting to answer here. At the same time, I’m going to try and steer you away from lines where I feel there is no value. Managing your money properly, after all, is one of the biggest assets for any wise bettor.
