MMA betting tips: UFC 268 preview and best bets and how to watch on TV

Namajunas v Zhang is a 2pt bet at 11/10.

Justin Gaethje is 2pts to win by KO or submission at 10/11 (bet365).

Bobby Green is going to win by decision at 10/11.

Dustin Jacoby is going to win by decision at 5/2 (General).

The action is live on BT Sport 2 HD from 0000-0600 GMT on Sunday. The main event is headlined by Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington's rematch. In the co-main event, Weili Zhang looks to avenge her loss to Rose Namajunas and reclaim her belt. Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler are the number one contenders.

Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang are going to fight at UFC 268. Namjuna won the title at the UFC 261 fight with a first round knockout of Joanna Jędrzejczyk. The second fight will be decided by the judges' scorecards. The division with the lowest finishing percentage in theUFC is the most unpredictable.

Michael Chandler has been in the UFC for less than a year. He almost won the Lightweight title in May. His opponent Justin Gaethje is possibly the most chaotic fighter the company has ever seen. If the fight turns into the brawl everyone expects, Chandler will be the more vulnerable fighter in a cage. Backing Gaetje to win by KO or submission at 10/11 seems a more sensible way to support him.

After eight years in the UFC, King Green is still making improvements. He has seen the scorecards in 13 of his UFC 16 bouts so far. Al Iaquinta has not competed in UFC’s Octagon for almost three years. His overall skillset is inferior to King's and he should lose each round. Backing King to win by decision at 5/6 makes plenty of appeal.

Dustin Jacoby takes on John Allan in the preliminaries. Jacob is a clear step up in competition and seems destined for the top 15. Allan has struggled with fighters no longer in UFC. The Brazilian has gone the distance in three of his last five fights. Jacob has a better chance of winning by decision. He is 5/2 favourite. Hanyak is undefeated. His last fight was against Ben Askren.
