Ige vs Zombie Moneyline Odds
- Dan Ige -125
- Korean Zombie +105
Ige went on a great run of beating Kevin Aguilar, Mirsad Bektic and Edson Barboza before losing to Calvin Kattar. He did beat Gavin Tucker in his most recent fight by first-round knockout. Korean Zombie since making his return to the UFC, has had a couple of ups and downs.
Jung beat Dennis Bermudez, lost to Yair Rodriguez, beat Renato Moicano and Frankie Edgar and then last to Brian Ortega in his last fight. Essentially, he beats the lesser opponents and loses to the top-level fighters.
There’s a reason for concern for Jung from his loss to Ortega. Ortega is a Jiu-Jitsu artist while Jung is a credentialed striker, but Ortega was able to put on a striking clinic. Ige is a well-rounded fighter and could be able to pick Zombie apart the same way Ortega did.

- Aleksei Oleinik +185
- Sergey Spivak -230
Marlon Vera vs Davey Grant
These two fought back in 2016 and Davey Grant saw his hand raised. However, there’s a fair argument to be made that Vera has become a much better fighter while Grant has, more or less, leveled off. Chito Vera made waves in the MMA community by beating Sean O’Malley, but came back down to earth with a convincing loss to Jose Aldo.
Grant has yet to face another fighter at Vera’s level since the 2016 meeting and could be overwhelmed with such a step up in competition. UFC bettors should feel confident in betting on Vera to win this fight.
Vera vs Grant Betting Odds
- Marlon Vera -200
- Davey Grant +160
