UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. Sung Jung

In the UFC this weekend, Brian Ortego and Chan Sung Jung will main event UFC Fight Night from the Flash Forum on Fight Island.

Brian Ortega vs. Chan Sung Jung

  • Ortega +155
  • Sung Jung -190

Sung Jung is seen as the favorite here being that he has fought more recently and has won his last two while Ortega hasn’t fought in almost two years and is coming off of a loss.

Still, Sung Jung has first-round knockout power, indicating UFC betting fans can entertain themselves with many other bets.

The fight is expected to land in Sung Jung’s favor but those taking a first-round victory (for either fighter) will be met with +240 odds.

Sung Jung is believed to care of business though in this 9:15 p.m. ET fight, as his odds to win inside the distance sit at -105.

Georgia Vs. Alabama College Football

In this two vs. three matchup, the main storyline isn’t even between the players on the field but the coach on the sideline. Initially, set for a Kirby Smart vs Nick Saban matchup, Saban tested positive for COVID earlier in the week.

After two negative tests for Saban, he is a third away from taking the field on Saturday.

Before the announcement that Saban would be leaving the facility, Bama was 6.5-point favorites, sitting at -220 on the moneyline.

During the week, the line dropped to -4.5 and -165, giving college football bettors who paid attention quite the advantage. The line has moved back to 6.5 points, as Saban is expected to coach, leaving many with the ability to middle, hedge, or simply beat the book.

When it comes to college football betting, any advantage goes a long way.
