September has just started and sports fans all over the world are already in a roller coaster sports ride with the opening of the National Football League and the FIFA qualifiers.
Capping the busy sports week is no other than the heart-pumping, testosterone induced Ultimate Fighting Championship where heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic will put his belt on the line for the first time since he defeated Fabricio Werdum. He will be facing Alistair Overeem at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena.
Sportsbook Bodog said that Miocic is the clear pick of UFC fans to win the main event with -150 odds or 2/3 odds of retaining his belt. Overeem, meanwhile, have +120 or 6/5 odds of defeating Miocic.
UFC say it is 66/1 chance that the match between Overeem, which has won four consecutive fights, and Miocic will end in a draw. They think Miocic will win against Overeem from the inside distance (5/6).
