MMA betting tips: UFC Vegas 60 preview and best bets

Joe Pyfer is 2pts to win in round one at 11/10 (Paddy Power, Betfair).

Sara McMann is bett365 to win by decision at 2/1.

UFC Vegas 40 features up-and-coming fighters from Dana White's Contender Series. 13 of the 28 fighters on the card have started their UFC careers on this show. Sky Bet is offering Gillian Robertson to win by submission at 15/8.

Joe Pyfer is the new UFC fighter. He will fight Alen Amedovski in his first fight. The fight is taking place on the sixth season of the Contender Series. The first episode of this series was disappointing. BodyBagz won the show with a spectacular knockout in the second round. UFC President Dana White is encouraging future fighters to 'Be Joe Py fer' and not settle for a decision. Py Fer is a strong favourite to win the fight in round one.

Sara McMann is a former Olympic wrestler who won a silver medal in Olympic Wrestling in Athens in 2004. She has had a successful career in Mixed Martial Arts and challenged Ronda Rousey for the UFC Bantamweight title in 2014. McMan is 6/5 underdog against Aspen Ladd. Lad has struggled with weight cut issues and her gameplan recently. Laddy has won three of her first five UFC fights via TKO. McMann is better at everything Lado is good at. The winner will probably be decided by who can establish more time in the top position.

Gillian Robertson is a fan favourite despite not having competed for a UFC title or entered the division's top five. She is taking on Mariya Agapova in the preliminary bout on Saturday night. Robertson has the potential to win this fight early or late. She specialises in locking up a lightning fast Read Naked Choke. A bet on Robertson to beat Agpova by submission is worth investing in. It's 7/4. The bet is good value.
