UFC – Ultimate Fighting Championship

* Odds have been provided by BetOnline and are accurate as of 25/08/2021

If you want to see two of the best strikers in the UFC throw down, you got to tune into this Main Event. Edson Barboza has fought the very best fighters in the UFC at lightweight but he is now down to featherweight to see if he can make a title run. Standing in his way is Giga Chikadze who is not shy in claiming he is the best striker in the division.

Barboza might have a thing or two to say about that and after August 28, we will know for sure. The US bookmakers have both fighters expect this fight to be a close one. We think Giga Chikadze will have the advantage in the first couple of rounds as he tends to go hard right from the start.

If Barboza can survive the first two rounds, we think he should be able to win as Chikadze has shown in the past that he tends to tire in the third round.

This will be the first 5 round fight for Chikadze in the UFC while Barboza has done it many a time. We are going to back Barboza for the win.

Current odds: Edson Barboza (-117) / Giga Chikadze (-103)

Kevin Lee has moved up to welterweight to try and make a title run. He struggled to get an opponent after his scheduled opponent Sean Brady pulled out. Daniel Rodriguez stepped up to take a short notice fight and goes in as the underdog with odds of 2.37.

Kevin Lee has great wrestling and if he can take Rodriguez down, he should be able to dominate him and maybe finish the fight.

We are going to back Lee to win this one.

Current odds: Kevin Lee (-152) / Daniel Rodriguez (+132)

Abdul Razak Alhassan was one of the brightest prospects in the UFC but is now on a three fight win streak and needs to win this fight against Alessio Di Chirico or risk being cut from the UFC. He is the underdog with odds of 2.90 while Alessio Di Chirico is the favorite with odds of 1.44.

We are going to back Abdul Razak Alhassan to win this one.

Current odds: Alessio Di Chirico (-225) / Abdul Razak Alhassan (+190)
