UFC 279 is set to get underway this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This card features plenty of big names, including Li Jingliang, Tony Ferguson, and Kevin Holland.
Capping off the night is a welterweight bout between Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz, an event in which we will see a likely future champion and the last scrap of Diaz’s career under the UFC umbrella.
Prior to the main event, we have a welterweight scrap between Li Jingliang and Tony Ferguson. Jingliang opened as a -250 betting favorite and has since been bet up to -305, despite about 50/50 action.
Below, I walk through the betting profile of each fighter and make my best bet for this welterweight fight.
