The UFC brings two free cards to the table in January. Things kick off on Jan. 19 with UFC on FX 7: Belfort vs. Bisping, and return one week later on FOX with the UFC’s sixth network television event.
Michael Bisping takes on Vitor Belfort in a crucial middleweight fight. Should Bisping win, he will be the next challenger to Anderson Silva‘s middleweight crown.
One week later, the UFC flyweight championship will be on the line on FOX. Champion Demetrious Johnson defends the title against John Dodson.
The two main events are not the only interesting fights lined up, but they are most certainly where the focus is. UFC matchmakers Joe Silva and Sean Shelby have put together two strong cards to open the year, and the UFC is giving them away on free television.
Here is an early look at the odds and predictions for the five biggest fights of the month.
