Hey guys, it’s fight week.
Actually, there’s no such thing as fight week any more. It’s just one long stretch of fight weeks, pressing out into the distance with no end in sight. And sometimes, that’s going to be terrible. But sometimes—take this week’s UFC Fight Night event from Australia, for example—that’s going to be just fine with me.
This card—which airs on Friday night in North America but takes place Saturday in Australia (you do the math; it makes my head hurt just thinking about it)—has been flying under the radar. That’s what happens when you put on too many events; the good stuff gets overlooked. But I like this card a lot, especially from a gambling perspective. There are at least two fights where I think the underdog should be a massive favorite, giving me an opportunity to make some serious cash.
So let’s take a look at the card, shall we? I’ve got the lines for all five main card fights, with some analysis and my recommended plays for each.
