Read on below to find out UFC Best Bets for this weekend’s UFC 279!

Nate Diaz vs Tony Ferguson – Welterweight

Nate Diaz is one of the greatest Mixed Martial Artists of all time and he comes into this fight with a record of 21-13 in 34 career professional fights. Nate Diaz comes into this fight at 37 years old, standing six feet tall and weighing 170 pounds. He has a 76 inch reach, which gives him a half inch reach disadvantage in this fight. Diaz has lost his last two fights in a row as he was defeated by Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards. 

Tony Ferguson is not far behind Diaz in the greatest of all time conversation as he comes into this fight with a record of 26-7 in 33 career professional fights. Tony Ferguson comes into this fight at 38  years old, standing five feet, nine inches tall and weighing 155 pounds. He has a 76 and a half inch reach, which gives him a half inch reach advantage in this fight. He comes into this fight on a four fight losing streak. 

Khamzat Chimaev vs Kevin Holland – Catch Weight

Khamzat Chimaev was expected to defend his title during this event but missed weight and will be fighting in this catchweight fight. He comes into this fight with an overall record of 11-0 in eleven career professional mixed martial arts fights. Chimaev comes into this fight at twenty eight years of age, standing at six feet, two inches tall and with a reach of 75 inches. He has yet to lose during his mixed martial arts career and I don’t think he will lose this fight either. 

Kevin Holland comes into this fight with a career overall record of 23-7 with one no contest on his record in thirty one career professional mixed martial arts fights. Holland comes into this fight at twenty nine years of age, standing at six feet, two inches tall and with a reach of 81 inches, which gives him a six inch reach advantage in this catchweight fight. He has won his last two fights in a row, but I have him taking the loss in this one. 

Li Jingliang vs Daniel Rodriguez –  Catch Weight

Li Jingliang comes into this fight with a record of 19-7 in 26 career professional mixed martial arts fights. He is thirty four years of age, weighs in at 170 pounds and stands at six feet tall. He has a reach of 71 and a half inches which gives him a two and a half inch reach disadvantage in this fight. He is on a one fight winning streak but he has lost three out of his last four fights overall. I don’t see him picking up the victory in this fight either.

Daniel Rodriguez comes into this fight with a record of 16-2 in 18 career professional mixed martial arts fights. He is thirty five years of age, weighs in at 170 pounds and stands at six feet, one inch tall. He has a reach of 74 and a half inches which gives him a two and a half inch reach advantage in this fight. He is on a three fight winning streak and I think he will continue that winning streak here in this fight as I have him picking up the victory by knockout.
