The UFC is headed to the land down under as UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs. Brunson is set to take place this Saturday from Melbourne, Australia. The main event will involve the Australian underdog Robert Whittaker (+120) taking on the American favorite Derek Brunson (-140) in the middleweight division. The co-main event will see the longest line of the night, as heavy favorite Jake Matthews (-370) will square off with sizable dog Andrew Holbrook (+310).
Check out the UFC Fight Night 101 betting odds, courtesy of OddsShark.com:
Both competitors are on a 5-fight winning streak; however, the argument can be made that Derek Brunson has faced the stiffer competition than has Robert Whittaker. Brunson also brings a fundamental wrestling base that Whittaker has not seen in recent memory that warrants a look at Brunson @ -140.
