MMA betting tips: UFC Paris preview and best bets

Robert Whittaker is going to win by Decision at 4/5 (Sky Bet).

UFC Paris is the first event to be held in Paris since the sport's legalisation in 2020. The sport has been on a steady rise in France over the last few years.

Ciryl Gane is the main event in UFC Paris. He is looking to make a statement in his first fight since his loss to champion Francis N’Gannou. His opponent Tai Tuivasa is a threat to Gneans title aspirations. Geneans are priced up as a 1/6 favourite this weekend. I am expecting Ganes to pour on the pressure in the latter half of the fight. I'm betting on Gans to win in Rounds 3, 4 or 5 at 9/4.

Robert Whittaker is the former middleweight champion. He is taking on Marvin Vettori in the co-main event. Both men have suffered two losses at the hands of reigning champion Israel Adesanya. Vittori is slightly outmatched in almost every aspect of Mixed Martial Arts. Whitaker's last five wins have been decided by the judges' scorecards.
