Including this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 78, there are six cards left on the schedule for the promotion in 2015.
That means in a period of less than two months, you’ll be able to bet on around 40 fights - setting up some nice payday opportunities. Let’s take a look at all the biggest fights from each card.
UFC Fight Night 78 odds on BookMaker.eu
Flyweights, November 21
Henry Cejudo -344 vs. Jussier Formiga +281
Over/Under 2.5 rounds, over -280, under +240
This isn’t even the headlining fight, but it’s by far the most significant in terms of a title picture. Ever since Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo made his MMA debut, he was pegged as a possible future UFC champion. He’s now one fight away from fulfilling those sky high expectations.
Should he beat the No. 4 ranked Jussier Formiga this Saturday, Cejudo’s Olympic background and undefeated record makes him an obvious choice to challenge Demetrious Johnson for the belt.
UFC Fight Night 79 odds on BookMaker.eu
Welterweights, November 28
Benson Henderson -365 vs. Thiago Alves +285
Over/under 3.5 rounds, over -210, under +175
If former lightweight champion Benson Henderson can beat former welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves, he’d be knocking on the door of the top-10 at 170 pounds. That would make Henderson - who once drew the ire of fans for being a boring fighter - one of the most interesting names in the UFC.
Being able to fight in two divisions simultaneously at a top-10 level is not an easy feat. Only a handful of fighters, like Anderson Silva and Randy Couture, have been able to do so. It’ll be compelling to see if Benson can follow suit.

Women’s strawweights, December 10
Paige VanZant
Rose Namajunas
Over/under 4.5 rounds, over, under
Paige VanZant is the biggest star in the women’s Strawweight division, yet her popularity has attracted plenty of haters who feel that she has gotten favorable treatment based on her good looks. Semi-favorable matchmaking hasn’t helped. But now, VanZant has the opportunity to shut her detractors down for good against No. 3 ranked Rose Namajunas.
Both women have ultra-aggressive fight styles based on pace and output, setting up what should be an action-packed bout. What’s more, there is a fascinating contrast of charismatic personalities in play. VanZant is a bubbly cheerleader type, while Namajunas nickname, “Thug”, speaks to her hardscrabble roots and attitude.

Featherweights, December 11
Chad Mendes +140
Frankie Edgar -170
Over/under 4.5 rounds, over -225, under +185
The fact that this isn’t a headlining fight on a pay-per-view card is amazing. Frankie Edgar is fan favorite, and Chad Mendes is coming off of a huge fight against Conor McGregor. Both men are top-3 fighters in the featherweight division, and it’s likely the winner will face the winner of the title unification bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.
This fight pits two fighters with championship-caliber skills in every aspect of MMA. Both are outstanding wrestlers. They bring superb technical striking to the table. And they are fantastic athletes in the prime of their careers. Again, this fight is on FREE televison!
UFC 194 odds on BookMaker.eu
Featherweights, December 12
Conor McGregor -185
Jose Aldo +160
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -115, under -105
Although Ronda Rousey is the UFC’s greatest superstar, this will be the biggest fight of the year. Why? Because McGregor is a superstar in his own right and he’s destroyed everyone in his path. But Aldo is the only champion the featherweight division has ever known, and people seem to forget that he’s been a top-3 pound-for-pound fighter for years. The Brazilian is a surefire hall-of-famer in his prime, yet he is the underdog.
The hype for this fight is completely justified. This is a grudge match that has been brewing for years, and it pits one of the most electric strikers alive and against one of the best Muay Thai artists we’ve ever seen.
