Seán Sheehan is back with another UFC betting preview as the Octagon returns to the Meta APEX in Las Vegas for UFC Fight Night 289. The main event sees Raul Rosas Jr. take on veteran Raoni Barcelos in a fascinating bantamweight clash, with the 21-year-old looking to make another statement against one of the division’s most experienced fighters.
There are some interesting betting opportunities across this weekend’s action, and I’ve found five that I think are worth a serious look. We’ve got a couple of underdogs that I think the market may be underestimating, a submission specialist who could have a major advantage if the fight hits the mat and one of the TUF 34 finalists, whose finishing ability could prove particularly important. I’ll also take a look at one bet from the massive Octagon stadium show.
As always, I’ll break down the fights, explain exactly what I’m seeing and give you the prices I’m willing to play. Let’s get into my five bets for this weekend!
