UFC Fight Night 103: Rodriguez vs Penn Date: January 15, 2017 Arena: Talking Stick Resort Arena City: Phoenix AZ The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is back in Phoenix, AZ for the second time in promotional history with UFC Fight Night 103: Rodriguez vs Penn. The 12-fight card is set to kick off with preliminary action at 6pm ET on Fight Pass, and prelims will continue at 8pm on FOX Sports 1. If interested in wagering on any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakers. The ‘Fight of the Night’ plays that hold the most value are: Lauzon/Held +400 || .5u to win 2u Lauzon is a bonus machine and is always a good bet to contend for the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ honors, regardless of the fight card which he is competing on. Whether this bout lasts a few minutes or goes the three round distance, I think it stands a good chance of being quite an entertaining one. Lauzon and Held are two lightweights are both generally fun to watch, as they deliver exciting performances. They have somewhat similar styles, in the sense that they are submission aces who often risk giving up position to go for submissions. I think this bout stands a good chance of taking home the bonus, and at +400, I think it’s worth a should. Should they manage to make it happen, it would be the eight time for Lauzon, while being the very first for Held in this only his second appearance inside the Octagon. Powell/Klose +1000 || .5u to win 5u This is a match-up that pits together two promotional newcomers in the UFC’s lightweight division and I think they are both solid prospects at 155-pounds. I expect them to both deliver in their UFC debuts in an effort to get their hand raised for the first time inside the Octagon. They both have a lot to fight for in this match-up and I think they will both leave it all in the cage in Phoenix today. At +1000, I think this play holds great value and is worth a shot. These promotional newcomers who are each likely only making 10k to show stand a decent chance of taking home an extra 50k each when all is said and done, and it would of course be the first ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus for both, at it is their first fight with the promotion.
