UFC on Versus tonight has what is likely the best free fight card ever and we’ll preview the start time, fight card, and betting odds.
I’m particularly excited about tonight’s UFC on Versus event because the entire fight card is worthy of PPV status. Free MMA on a Sunday night is good enough, but you really have to get amped when the card is this loaded.
UFC on Versus will debut with a 9:00 PM ET/6:00 PM PT tonight and there is plenty of value on the betting odds that SBGglobal Sportsbook has up. Our fight-by-fight UFC on Versus predictions will be up closer to start time but we’ll preview the major fights on the card now.
Jon “Bones” Jones versus Brandon “The Truth” Vera
“Bones” comes into tonight’s UFC event as a -250 favorite on the Versus betting odds and this will be his biggest test to date. Jones has shown incredible and unconventional takedowns and mixes it up with crazy striking and powerful ground and pound. Vera has more experience in the standup and might also be better at submissions.
Junior “Cigano” Dos Santos versus Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga
Dos Santos has some of the best boxing the UFC heavyweight division has seen in years but little is known about the rest of his game. Gonzaga is a big underdog for the UFC on Versus card but the Brazilian has a ton of power and a ground game that few can rival.
Cheick Kongo versus Paul “The Headhunter” Buentello
Kongo is the huge favorite here because Buentello never takes the fight to the ground and he is taking on a former K-1 striker. Kongo is a big, scary dude with nice power but Buentello has a big experience advantage in MMA.
Alessio Sakara versus James Irvin
James Irvin looked a bit like a skeleton at the weigh-ins after making a big cut to a new weight he’s never fought at before. On the surface he has better striking and a better chin than Sakara, but only time will tell what he’s lost with that draining cut. This will be a slugfest that you won’t want to miss.
