The UFC returns to Australia with UFC 221, headlined by an interim-title showdown between Yoel Romero and middleweights Luke Rockhold.

The co-main event comes with a tilt between New Zealander Mark Hunt and 26-year-old Curtis Blaydes.
The Best Bets for UFC Fight Night 125 of last week went 2-1. (The John Dodson garbage was canceled.) That pushes our general record to 18-11, however we dropped a little cash a week, decreasing our overall benefit down to $66.33. (Maybe I should return and read my 6 Tips for Successful MMA Betting?)
Time to contact our profitable ways with the top bets for UFC 221.
BEN NGUYEN (+100) VS JUSSIER FORMIGA (-120)
Jussier Formiga (20-5) can grapple and contains one of the best back games in the company. He’s an absolute leech when he gets his pins. But though Formiga has a much better body of work against some world-class men in the branch, it’s hard to bet against rising star Ben Nguyen (16-6).
“Ben 10” has improved certain aspects of his game, such as scrambling and takedown defense, to be able to keep his fights standing. Why? Because if his struggles stay vertical, he’ll knock his opponent’s head away. He’s a title contender who UFC loss came in what was a slobber-knocker of a struggle to Louis Smolka.
This +100 moneyline for Nguyen in BetOnline is a nice round number.
