UFC Fight Night 85 Date: March 19, 2016 Arena: Brisbane Entertainment Centre City: Brisbane, Australia The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Brisbane, Australia for the second time in promotional histry with UFC Fight Night 85: Hunt vs Mir. The action-packed card will feature 12 bouts in entirety, with the main card getting going at 10pm ET on FOX Sports 1 and preliminary action preceding it on the same channel at 8pm ET, with a trio of bouts before it on UFC Fight Pass at 6:30pm ET. If interested in wagering on these ‘FOTN’ props or any other plays for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. The ‘Fight of the Night’ plays that hold the most value are: Rawlings/Ham +900 || .25 to win 2.25u These women’s 115-pounders like to strike and I expect the majority of this bout to play out on the feet, though at time I think Rawlings will attempt to use her size advantage and take the fight to the mat. I think this fight has a decent chance of proving to be fun, and I think it is a fight that is likely to hit the judges’ scorecards for a decision, so if Rawlings and Ham really bring it, we will be in for 15-minutes of excitement, and at +900, I like a little stab on it. Should these ladies take home the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus, it would be the first time for them both. Hooker/Eddiva +650 || .5u to win 3.25u I think this fight is going to be fun fight in the UFC’s featherweight division and think we could be in for fireworks from start to finish. I would not be at all surprised to see this fight end early, but I think a judges’ call or late finish are more likely. Both 145-pounders are in dire need of a victory here, as they want to avoid dropping back to back fights in the UFC. Hooker and Eddiva are two featherweights who generally bring it, and if styles make match-ups, we may be in for a barn-burner. I think there is the possibility that Eddiva could attempt to outgrapple Eddiva, but regardless of where the fight goes, I think we will be in for a fun one, so at +650, I think this is worth a stab, as well. Should these 145-pounders take home the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ honors, it would mean the first time for Hooker, while being the second for Eddiva, who earned his first in a losing effort to Kevin Souza nearly two years ago.
