In the Mixed Martial Arts world; Ultimate Fighting Championship 212 will get going this weekend at Jeunesse Area in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. This should be a great event, with the main card featuring two time champion in the Featherweight division Jose Aldo and Max Holloway, who is the current interim champion. That’s just the main fight, there are other great fights on the main card. Let’s take a look at our top UFC 212 betting picks.
In Depth Analysis On The Top Betting Picks For UFC 212 Aldo Vs Holloway
Featherweight: Jose Aldo -125 vs. Max Holloway
Jose Aldo is a guy that has been at the top of the mix at his weight class for some time. He bases his fighting off his ability to defend and his great timing. He will be put to the test against Holloway, who has some of the best footwork in the game. He is also known for excellent fundamentals. This should be a great fight, but look for Aldo to edge Halloway out in this bout. Take Jose Aldo -125.
Women’s Strawweight: Claudia Gadelha -280 vs. Karolina Kowaliewicz
Many love what Claudia Gadelha brings to the table. She has a powerful takedown and would love to get to the move early in the bout. She has faced the best in the game, and is ready for the challenge. Kowaliewicz would love to use her ability to last long into fights to take down the favorite. In the end though, Gadelha’s ability to wrestle should put her over the top. Take Claudia Gadelha -280 in this fight.
Middleweight: Vitor Belfort -160 vs. Nate Marquardt
We are really looking forward to this bout. Belfort is a kill or be killed type fighter. His last 8 fights have seen one of the fighters unconscious. He still has great speed, and incredible power, despite being 40 years old. He will face Marquardt, who is also a little older. He is still solid, but looks to be a step slower. We like Belfort to win this bout. Take the favorite at -160.
Middleweight: Paulo Borrachinha -350 vs. Oluwale Bambose
Borrachina is an absolute beast. He is a monster, but also has some excellent speed, and has the ability to really strike. He will face Bambose who is known as a freak athlete, and also has the ability to really strike. This fight has the ability to be a great bloodbath. It should be a great fight. Take the underdog in this bout. Bambose at +265 is a great bet.
Welterweight: Erick Silva vs. Yancy Mederios -130
Erick Silva used to be one of the best prospects in all of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He never really panned out to be one of the best. Despite that, he still has a great ability, and his black belt in judo and his submission game is still strong. He will face Medeiros, who is one of the best grapplers you will see. Look for Mederios to frustrate Silva and come away with the win here. Bet Yancy Mederios -130 in this one.
There is a look at the top betting picks for this weekend’s UFC 212 event. We are excited about the event, and expect to see some great fights. We hope our picks help you along the way winning some money on UFC 212. Best of luck!
