This weekend online UFC betting players got treated to a show at UFC Fight Night 109. The biggest knockout of the night came at the hands of Alexander Gustafsson who dropped Glover Teixiera out cold. Teixiera is one of the light heavyweight division’s nastiest veterans and seeing Gustafsson drop him in such a defiant manner has made it so that UFC betting sites cannot stop talking about Gustafsson. Part of it has to do with the way the fighter performed and the other past has to do with his post-fight comments about the current situation in the division.
Specifically, Gustafsson spoke very poorly of Jon Jones, stating that his lifestyle made him far from a winner. No doubt Gustafsson is expecting Jon Bones to come out on top in Jones vs. Cormier 2, and the Swede is already starting to fan the flames of his rematch with Bones. It’ll be a while before the UFC can ever consider that pairing, but in the meantime MMA sportsbook fans can keep themselves content with this upcoming weekend’s action at UFC 212.

UFC 212 will be headlines by a UFC Featherweight Championship unification bout between two-time champion Jose Aldo and current interim champion Max Holloway. Likewise, the co-headlining event of the night will pit Women’s Strawweight No. 1 contender Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz. The night will feature a variety of lesser-known fighters like Brian Kelleher and Marlon Moraes. This will be Aldo’s second bout since suffering his humiliating 13 second knockout at the hands of McGregor, and this will provide Holloway’s long awaited shot at the title.
