UFC Betting Odds: Incredibly Close Numbers For The Main Event
The UFC betting odds are indicative of a closely contested main event.
What a main event we've got on our hands for this weekend's UFC action. Kai Kara-France has been a mainstay in the division. Three wins in a row, including one of the former bantamweight challenger, Cody Garbrandt, ‘Don't Blink' earned himself a crack at Brandon Moreno for the interim title. Though he fell short, these last four fights proves the he belongs at the top of the flyweight heap.
His opponent, Amir Albazi, has a fantastic body of work to show off heading into his first UFC main event spot. 4-0 in the UFC with three finishes, this 16-1 fighter has never been finished. Moreover, having finished 14 of his 16 fights, Albazi seems more than ready to prove himself against a big name in the division.

Kai has been submitted for 3 of his 10 losses. Albazi has won over half of his professional wins via submission. So, yeah, on paper, those are the glaring statistics in when looking for who can get the finish, and how. Kara-France has some nasty power in those hands, though! He can always get another shocking knockout win.
