In a heavyweight bout in the prelims, Ilir Latifi and Aleksei Oleinik'meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 211 at UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC Fight Night 211: Latifi vs. Oleinik odds, with expert picks and predictions.
The fight can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 4 p.m. ET and the main card at 7 p.m. ET.
It’s rather surprising this veteran battle is on the prelims portion of the card, especially since it’s a rather weak card overall. Some of the main card fights should be blowouts, but this has Fight of the Night potential.
Latifi, a.k.a. “The Sledgehammer”, takes the walk with a split-decision win over Tanner Boser in his most recent showing in June 2021, stopping a 3-bout losing skid. However, losses to Corey Anderson, Volkan Oezdemir and Derrick Lewis are certainly nothing to be ashamed of. He looks to work his way back up the ladder with a win over the veteran Oleinik.
