UFC 313 is almost upon us as the first big Las Vegas pay-per-view of the year arrives at the T-Mobile Arena.
Alex Pereira returns to the scene of his two great triumphs over Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill last year, at UFC 303 and UFC 300 respectively.
He is in search of yet another knockout to put the cherry on top of a crowning 11-month period that has seen him take on four of his division’s toughest challengers within limited time.
The UFC have given Pereira a full training camp for this one; a rare luxury, but he will need it against the strong grappling style of Magomed Ankalaev who has been pursuing him for the best part of a year.
Elsewhere on the card, Justin Gaethje is back in the exact spot where he suffered a humiliating KO to Max Holloway almost a year ago to the day at UFC 300.
He takes on Rafael Fiziev in a quickly-arranged rematch of their UFC 286 showdown after Dan Hooker pulled out of the initially booked co-main event for the night.
As always, a range of exciting UFC odds are available to view on the industry-leading NetBet UK betting site and app.

UFC 313 Betting Preview and Best Bets
The most exciting markets are all clearly centered around Pereira vs Ankalaev, but let’s first look at some undercard standouts.
That Carlos Leal and Alex Morono fight leaps off the page, with a 6.05 money line for Morono, which we’d always recommend at the lower echelon of a UFC card. These wide spreads are some of the best value offered in all of sport, given that it can all change in one punch.
However, we’d recommend against backing King Green, who has been on a legendary losing skid and may be going the way of Tony Ferguson and the GFL with another loss here.
If markets open up later in the week, we’d recommend a big bet on Amanda Lemos vs Iasmin Lucindo going the distance as well!
In the main event, the Over 3.5 Rounds bet at 1.89 seems a good, safe bet given how Ankalaev tends to fight. Pereira last won with a fourth round KO, so why not see if lightning strikes twice at a nice and wide 19.0.
We understand why there may be concerns over Gaethje’s motivation and chin going into this one. But at 2.20 for a fight he has already shown himself capable of winning? He might be worth one last punt.
