Holly Holm and Bethe Correia will headline the UFC betting Fight Night 111 event this Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Sadly, it will not be a Singapore cane match, which is just too bad. However, there will still be plenty of action on the main card for fans who bet on UFC to enjoy.
Holly Holm vs. Bethe Correia
Weight class: Bantam
Sportsbook odds:
Bethe Correia – 4½ (-135) +460
Holly Holm – 4½ (+115) -620
Correia rebounded from a two-fight skid with a split decision win over Jessica Eye at UFC 203 on September 10, 2016 in Cleveland, and then went on to fight Marion Reneau to a draw at UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Gastelum in March.
Once upon a time the Preacher’s Daughter did not know what defeat tasted like; she has lately had a chance to become familiar with the bitter flavor loss thanks to a three-bout losing streak, including her featherweight debut for the that division’s inaugural championship, which she lost to Germaine de Randamie by unanimous decision at UFC 208 in February. So Holm has tasted defeat; if she were to lose Bethe ‘The Foot’ Correia, does that mean she will have tasted the feet as well?
Andrei Arlovski vs. Marcin Tybura UFC betting preview
Weight class: Heavy
Odds for fans who bet on UFC:
Andrei Arlovski – 1½ (-105) +210
Marcin Tybura – 1½ (-115) -250
If this were wrestling, it could be said that Dana White brought Arlovski as a jobber to the stars. Actually, the Belarusian won his first four fights in his second UFC stint, but has since put over the likes of current division champion Stipe Miocic, Alistair ‘I.V.’ Overeem, Josh Barnett, and Francis Ngannou. All told Arlovski has lost four straight and hasn’t had a win since over two years ago. To put it in perspective, UFC events were only in the double digits when Arlovski held the heavyweight title.
Tybura has won three of his last five bouts, including the last two in a row. Most recently, he beat Luis Henrique by TKO at UFC 209 in early March.
Dong Hyun Kim vs. Colby Covington UFC betting preview
Weight class: Welter
Odds for fans who bet on UFC:
Dong Hyun Kim – 2½ (-230) +175
Colby Covington – 2½ (+190) -210
Kim is riding a three-fight winning streak, including a split decision win over Tarec Saffiedine at UFC 207 on December 30, 2016 in Las Vegas. Kim was expected to face Thibault Gouti at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Hunt but the Frenchman withdrew from the event due to illness.
Covington – who despite his name is not a dapper British squire – is also in the midst of his own three-bout winning streak, including a unanimous decision over Bryan Barberena at UFC on Fox: VanZant vs. Waterson on December 17, 2016 in Sacramento. Covington told Bloody Elbow that “judo guys” such as Kim “are just the leftover wrestlers that couldn’t make the wrestling team. So, he’s definitely going to hit the mat.”
