UFC Fight Night Main Card Betting Preview, Analysis & Predictions (05/13/2023)

Most important of all, gamblers must remember that Saturday’s Fight Night is not at night. Instead, Fight Night is a matinee affair on free over-the-air ABC television. And the UFC betting fight card is an outstanding lineup of ranked combatants and matchups. There are two headliner and main event bouts. Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Jailton Almeida will clash in the heavyweight division. And then light heavyweights Anthony Smith and Johnny Walker will go at it in a matchup that gamblers see as even. The possibility of a championship fight for the winners is a distinct possibility.
