UFC Fight Night 101
Derek Brunson -135 vs. Robert Whittaker
There has been some slight movement on Brunson as he opened up as a -130 favorite and the number is up to -135. This looks like a very even fight with Brunson coming in at 16-3 while Whittaker is 17-4.
Bettors may have the wrong side in this fight as Whittaker has won his last five fights and he is in great form. “It’s an absolute honor to fight in the main event on an Australian card; I couldn’t ask for much more,” said Whittaker, “The hype definitely is less because I’m a fill-in, it would’ve been a lot more if I was initially thought of, but I jumped at the opportunity. I’ll always jump at an opportunity to headline an Australian card. It’s definitely a milestone.”
Taking the rounds under the total of 2.5 in this fight might be a good choice as Whittaker has said he expects a finish. “I think it’s going to be an absolute war, I think there’s going to be fireworks, but eventually I’m going to break him.” Whittaker said, “I’m going to break him mentally and I’m going to break him physically and I’m looking for the finish.”
Jake Matthews -300 vs. Andrew Holbrook
Most of the money in this fight has been coming in on Matthews as he opened up as a -265 favorite.
