UFC betting online: UFC lightweight Dennis Bermudez (14-4, 4 KOs, 3 SUBs) will look to climb back into title contention at UFC 189 when he faces Jeremy Stephens (23-11, 15 KOs, 3 SUBs).
The bout will is slated for the main card just ahead of the welterweight title bout and a featherweight championship main event between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.
Currently, Bookmaker’s UFC 189 odds have Bermudez as a minus-185 favorite, with Stephens’ money line at plus+160. The max bet available for this bout is $500. With Bookmaker’s daily updates to UFC odds, money lines are subject to change – so it’s a good idea to lock in a bet you like early.
Bermudez found himself creeping into the top-5 of a stacked lightweight division after winning seven in a row, but most recently was submitted by Ricardo Lamas in the first round at UFC 180. Still with wins over the likes of Max Holloway and Clay Guida during the streak, he didn’t fall too far and still claims a top-10 ranking.
Stephens will enter the octagon for the 21st time, making him one of the more established veterans in the UFC. After spending most of his time at lightweight, Stephens dropped to 145 in 2013 and reeled off three straight wins in eight months. However, he dropped a decision to Cub Swanson at UFC Fight Night 44, then lost another decision to Charles Oliveira at the TUF 20 Finale this past December.
If you bet on Bermudez vs. Stephens with our UFC 189 online odds, you probably want to stick with the favorite. Despite his loss to Lamas, it appears that Bermudez, at age 28, has finally reached his peak. While he’s three inches shorter than Stephens, Bermudez has the strength and wrestling chops to dictate where this fight goes. I see him taking Stephens down and controlling him with ground-and-pound for the better part of three rounds.
