  It's fight night and so we are back again with another gambling preview of the fights, the odds, and my own personal breakdown of where the value lies. This week I've only gone in depth on the main card fights instead of doing the whole card since a lot of the undercard fights are between inexperienced fighters and it's much tougher to analyze or feel confident about those bouts. I've also added in the Fight Pass and FS1 main events because those fights are between guys with established resumes

  Expect the Unexpected: Yair Rodriguez is the first featherweight fighter since division champ Conor McGregor to win his first four UFC fights. Not bad for a 23-year-old. He’s ranked No. 13 and is featured on the main event with Alex Caceres in a matchup between two of the UFC’s most unorthodox fighters. What makes this bout so intriguing is the creativeness - and at times recklessness - both fighters display every time they set foot inside the Octagon. A relentless pace is the norm f

  Back in February, in the midst of the hurricane that surrounded UFC 196, Conor McGregor made his prediction against Nate Diaz known from the outset. He was going to knock Diaz out inside the first round and that would be that.
