Betting Movers and Shakers for UFC Fight Night 106

UFC Fight Night 106: Belfort vs. Gastelum Date: March 11, 2017 Arena: Centro de Formação Olímpica do Nordeste City: Fortaleza, Brazil The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is in back in Fortaleza, Brazil for the second time in promotional history with UFC Fight Night 106: Belfort vs. Gastelum. The 12-fight main card is scheduled to kick off with preliminary on UFC Fight Pass at 7:30 p.m. ET. The prelims will then continue on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m., and the main card will follow on the same channel at 10 p.m. If interested in wagering on any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available to you at Several Bookmakers.

Bettors have jumped all over the main event and if they are right it won’t be a good night for Vitor Belfort. The Brazilian legend opened a +235 underdog against middleweight Kelvin Gastelum and has ballooned to a whopping +325 at time of publication. The second biggest move on the fight card is for the support of Brazilian Paulo Henrique Costa. The newcomer opened a -210 favorite, but currently sits as a -290 favorite over South African Garreth McLellan. It’s rare to see a newcomer this big of a favorite in a UFC debut, but this may have more to do with his opponent than Costa’s particular skill set. In a rematch of a fight that took place in December, Tim Means takes on Alex Oliveira. The first fight ended in controversial fashion as Means delivered an illegal knee that resulted in a no contest. Bettors liked the way Means fought in that first bout and have supported him thus far in their wagers. Means opened a -165 favorite, ballooning to over a -300 favorite, and has now settled back to a -185 favorite against Oliveira. The return on the Brazilian is +165. Two fights on this fight card have seen favorites flipped to underdogs once betting lines opened. The first of those fights is Jussier Formiga (opened -130) and Ray Borg (opened +110). At time of publication, the line has  flipped to Borg being a -110 favorite and Formiga moving to a +100 underdog. In the preliminary headliner, Francisco Trinaldo opened as a -130 favorite over Kevin Lee (opened -110). Bettors have backed the upstart American moving him to a -170 favorite over the Brazilian. The fight that has seen the least movement is the lone female fight on the card. American Marion Reneau opened as a -135 favorite, but post weigh ins the line has slimmed on Reneau to just a -115 favorite. The price on Bethe Correia has remained exactly the same as the open at -105. As the fights approach, continue to monitor Several Bookmakers for the latest odds.
