The UFC is coming off a great fight night in Abu Dhabi and is looking to keep the train rolling as they head back to the Apex for a stacked fight night event.
With a ton of exciting fights on this fight card, there is a lot of money that can be made, so let's take a look at the best bets for this weekend's UFC Vegas 95 fight night event.
Best Odds: Karl Williams (-200) BetMGM Sportsbook
In the heavyweight division, we have a fight between surging prospect Karl Williams and former kickboxer Jhonata Diniz which should be an absolute banger of a fight.
Williams has now won seven straight fights in his pro career while winning all three of his fights inside the Octagon.
Williams is an exceptional wrestler and grappler who is landing 4.75 takedowns per 15 minutes while being successful on 50% of his takedown attempts.
While Diniz is a dangerous threat on the feet and a bright prospect at 7-0, Williams has faced high-level strikers before like Justin Tafa and Chase Sherman and the result remained the same as he just dominated each of them with his wrestling pedigree.
This fight should be no different as Diniz will have to land that one perfect punch to get the win but if he doesn't it will be rinsed and repeat for Williams as he out-grapples Diniz to a decision victory.
Best Odds: Youssef Zalal (-425) DraftKings Sportsbook
Youssef Zalal started out his UFC career with three straight wins only to lose three straight thereafter and get released after a draw with Da'Mon Blackshear.
Now, Zalal looks to make it 5 wins in a row when he takes on Jarno Errens this weekend at the UFC Apex.
In this matchup, Zalal should have the speed, volume, and grappling advantages over Jarno Errens. While Errens certainly has some power in his strikes, he has a had time corraling his opponents and cutting off the cage which will be even tougher against an opponent like Zalal.
It will be up to Zalal to fight his fight and not engage in a brawl with Errens to where he can potshot and out-grapple his way to victory to get his 5th win inside the Octagon.
Best Odds: Chris Gutierrez (-450) Bet365 Sportsbook
Chris Gutierrez was looking to get back on track this weekend against Javid Basharat but unfortunately, he will have to wait for another day to take on Basharat as he had to withdraw from the fight.
Now, Gutierrez will be taking on Quang Le who was set to compete in this season of the Contender Series as he steps in on short notice.
Now, Gutierrez will be looking to get himself back into the winning column after losing his last fight to one of the top bantamweight contenders Song Yadong. While Le is fairly new he still will be a tough fight even someone as seasoned as Gutierrez however, it is a fight he should win.
As long as Gutierrez doesn't get clipped, he should be able to hammer the lead leg of Le making it exceptionally hard to land any powerful shots and then outstrike his way to a decision victory to get back into the win column.
