Reading Between the Lines - UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez. aaronbronsteter has more:
The UFC hosts its third event in eight days Saturday night on the promotion's trip to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
The last time these two met, Benavidez was regarded as the favourite, opening at -165, but the narrative has changed following the first bout where Figueiredo defeated Benavidez.In the previous bout, all three judges awarded Benavidez the first round before he was finished in the second. This will be the fourth attempt for Benavidez to become the undisputed flyweight champion, which has been his goal since competing in the inaugural flyweight title bout at UFC 152 in Toronto in 2012 and knowing how skilled he is, he is a solid value play at this price.Diakiese opened as a -230 favourite and the line has moved down to -155.In what will likely be a bout contested mostly on the feet, Diakiese may have been given too much credit by the oddsmakers.
