UFC 319 has arrived as the sport’s biggest promotion heads back to Chicago with world title pay-per-view action.
Two controversial figures make up the main event as Dricus Du Plessis defends his middleweight title against Khamzat Chimaev in a highly-anticipated battle at the famed United Center. The co-main event will surely have major title implications at featherweight as the undefeated Lerone Murphy steps up on short notice to face the newcomer Aaron Pico. Former Bellator star Pico was due to face number one contender Movsar Evloev in his debut, but now stays around the top of the division.
The undercard is made up of fun fighters, even if they aren’t exactly top contenders in their divisions. King Green is back against Carlos Diego Ferreira, while Tim Elliott and Kai Asakura do battle at flyweight. However, the ultimate example of this type of fight is Michael ‘Venom’ Page’s middleweight return against Jared Cannonier. The exciting British kickboxer stays at 185lb after complaining of ‘politics’ that cost him a welterweight return. He faces the less-than-exciting Cannonier in his return to the cage, but expect fireworks from the ring walk to the final bell.

UFC 319 Betting Preview and Best Bets
Saturday is an exciting night for fans, and potentially a very lucrative one for the most well-informed bettors.
Initially, let’s get some obvious ones out of the way. Put on a treble of Karine Silva vs, Dione Barbosa, Jessica Andrade vs Lupita Godinez and Chase Hooper vs Alexander Hernandez all to go over 2.5 rounds for a cumulative total of 41/20, that is as close to guaranteed as you can get. If you fancy throwing in Murphy vs Pico as well, you can pump that to 17/5 without much extra risk.
Another fight of great interest is MVP vs Cannonier. That the American is such an underdog at 8/5 is fascinating, given he has the right skillset to neutralize the Brit’s explosive striking. We like those odds.
Now, let’s take a look at the main event. Dricus Du Plessis has never lost inside the octagon, but is still priced at a whopping 9/5 as underdog against the 21/50 Khamzat Chimaev. You have to be looking at that DDP price and thinking there’s serious value.
