In a middleweight bout in the main event, Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 216 — also known as UFC Vegas 66 — at the UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC Fight Night 216: Cannonier vs. Strickland odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.
The prelims are set to begin at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN+ with the main card starting at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
Cannonier is looking to bounce back after losing via unanimous decision against Israel Adesanya in a title fight at UFC 276 in July. If he wants another shot at the middleweight strap, he can ill afford another loss.
Three of the past 4 fights for Cannonier have gone the distance, with only a 2nd-round KO/TKO victory against Derek Brunson at UFC 271 in Feb. as the outlier.
