After giving fans a month off from MMA action, the UFC returns this Saturday with a stellar main event at UFC Fight Night 98. The rest of the card is pretty much ho-hum outside of Charles Oliveira vs. Ricardo Lamas, however.
Former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos (pictured) looks to bounce back from losing his title to Eddie Alvarez against white hot Tony Ferguson. Dos Anjos is currently a slight -155 odds-on favorite to snap Ferguson’s eight-fight winning streak.
Ferguson, who would have to get next dibs at the throne with a win over the Brazilian, comes in closely behind as a +125 underdog.
It will be interesting to see how this line shifts as showtime approaches. If I were a betting man, I’d lay my money on the dangerous Ferguson.
Mexico City Arena in Mexico City, Mexico hosts the shindig. Fox Sports 1 broadcasts the main card live in America starting at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
