UFC 240 Fight Night Betting and Odds Preview – July 28, 2019

The UFC Card 240 Fight Night is considered as one of the hottest MMA events of the summer and there are lots of reasons why this is so. The main one is definitely the fact that Max Holloway, the current Featherweight champion is going against the former UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. The two fighters were scheduled to meet each other a couple of times before this event, but both of those fights had to be cancelled due to injuries.

Other bouts which are guaranteed to peak fans’ interest include the women’s featherweight duel between the favourite Cris Justino ‘Cyborg’ and Felicia Spencer; the welterweight category bout between Geoff Neal and Niko Price; the lightweight fight between Olivier Aubin-Mercer and Arman Tsarukyan; and finally, Marc-Andre Barriault bid to defeat Krzysztof Jotko in middleweight.

UFC 240 will be held at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on July 28 and bookmakers have already come out with some tasty UFC odds for the prestigious card. Most of their focus has been placed on the Holloway vs Edgar fight and that’s where the emphasis will be here as well.

Fun88

All new players at Fun88 get the chance to get up to £28 extra on their initial deposits and that is definitely true for all UFC Card 240 bets which will be placed here as well. This means that an initial deposit of £25 on Max Holloway or Frankie Edgar will yield an additional £25 in bonus funds and that’s before you even calculate the potential winnings.

And when it comes to potential winnings there is no better candidate to back than Max Holloway. The 27-year-old American is a strong favourite to win here considering that he is the current UFC Featherweight champion and is one of the Top 5 male UFC fighters plying their trade these days.

The fact that only Cormier, Jones, Cejudo and Nurmagomedov are currently in front of him in the pound-for-pound UFC Champions list speaks volumes about his ability and talent. That’s why Fun88 gives him quite low odds of 4/19 to win in the headlining match.
Frankie Edgar, on the other hand, comes with much higher odds of 11/4 and might warrant a cheeky stake, but do this at your own peril. Holloway is a real beast.

Unibet

Unibet is one of the most reputable sports betting operators out there and the fact that they offer their new clients the chance to get up to £100 upon registration is a testament to this.

Their top notch sportsbook includes some of the hottest sports events from around the world and UFC Card 240 Fight Night certainly qualifies as such an event.

There are several intriguing fights which are part of the card, but it is fair to say that all eyes will be on the Holloway vs Edgar bout. Punters from around the world will stop whatever they are doing on 28 July and tune in to see if Max Holloway, the undisputed favourite, will defend his featherweight title. It has to be said though, that Holloway is given miniscule odds to do that as Unibet go with short odds of 1/4 for the Honolulu born star.

Backing Frankie Edgar will certainly be more profitable, should he win of course, but his odds of 29/10 should not be seen as an invitation to make quick and easy profit as they are indicative of a fighter who will have to work his socks off to win here.

Sports Interaction

Sports Interaction is a betting provider which specializes in offering UFC and MMA betting and as such can be considered as slightly better than all other regular sports betting operators offering betting on the UFC Card 240 Fight Night.

Needless to say, all of the fights included in the card are part of their offer. Furthermore, the number of markets that punters can choose from for these fights is also larger than what the competition is offering. Finally, if you are looking for the best fight odds, Sports Interaction is definitely the place to go to.

When it comes to the main fight headlining the card, Holloway is a favourite with Sports Interaction too. ‘Blessed’ is given odds of 4/19 to win in Edmonton and those odds are significantly lower than the odds of 16/5 that his opponent, Frankie Edgar, is given by the bookmaker.

Edgar is a former UFC Lightweight champion and was known back in the day for triumphing against big names such as Sean Sherk and B.J. Penn. However, it is unlikely that he will manage to do the same with Holloway in this fight and punters should be wary of this.

Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes is a prestigious sports betting provider which goes out of its way to bring you the best UFC betting offer right to your fingertips. They perfectly complement this with their new customer offer which stipulates that all new clients who bet £5 instantly get additional £20 to play with.

This also applies to all betting enthusiasts interested in betting on the UFC Card 240 Fight Night. However, since Ladbrokes is more specialized in providing football, cricket and tennis betting, punters are only given the chance to bet on the card’s headliner, the Frankie Edgar vs Max Holloway fight.

In it, the defending featherweight champion is the clear favourite with Ladbrokes and as such is given low odds of 4/17 to win. This means that if you are looking for a big profit, you should go with a big stake on the 27-year-old American.

Another option is to go with a cheeky bet on the outsider, Frankie Edgar. His odds of 10/3 are much higher and should he surprise everyone and win, you will be handsomely rewarded by Ladbrokes.
