Here it is, we give you our UFC London Betting Tips!

UFC London Betting Tips

Leon Edwards via decision +225

Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards needs to lean on the spirit that got him the belt as he takes on a tough test in Brady. The Brit was outclassed last time out which led to him losing his title in a disappointing fashion. Despite this and despite Brady being a wrestler, Edwards simply must win, which is why we’re kicking off our UFC London betting tips with a Rocky win.

Despite his world-famous knockout of Kamaru Usman to capture the belt, he isn’t known as a knockout artist, so don’t expect a finish in this one. Coming off a loss, the Brit is going to be extremely risk-averse in this one, which is why we’re picking him via decision.

Blachowicz via decision +450

After nearly two years away from the octagon, former light heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz returns to meet with the in-form, Carlos Ulberg. The New Zealander is enjoying an impressive seven fight winning run, of which only two have gone the distance.

With that being said, let’s take the risk. Despite being in form, Ulberg hasn’t faced anyone like Blachowicz. The 42 year old is a well-rounded MMA fighter with a decent wrestling game when he has to use it, something he needs to look to do against Ulberg.

We’re anticipating that the Polish native leans on his wrestling game in London. Whilst not quite on the level of Israel Adesanya or Alex Pereira, Ulberg is a brilliant striker. Blachowicz landed six total takedowns against those two men and was largely able to control both men when he got on top. Expect a similar scene in London’s O2 arena on Saturday night.

Gunnar Nelson via Submission +200

The UFC have decided to wheel out their UFC London stalwart, Gunnar Nelson yet again and that is exactly why we choose to include him in our UFC London Betting Tips.

The 36 year old has just 5 fights in eight years and averaged just two fights in the past three years, both of which have taken place in London’s O2 Arena. Surprisingly, the Icelandic native takes on fringe ranked contender, Kevin Holland. Big Mouth is 1-4 in his last five, however, is going to be far more battle-ready than Nelson. Holland has competed 20 (yes 20) times in the same time that Nelson has featured just twice since 2019.

Holland, however, has a big issue. He’s not a good wrestler and has been exposed in that department on a number of occasions. He lost his last one via submission and Nelson is as legitimate a submission artist as you’re likely to see. He’s recorded an impressive 13 career wins via submission and has some of the best black belt credentials in the UFC. He commits to position over submission in all of his fights, however, Holland will give him the opportunity for the submission in this one.

Back Gunni to get the tap at +200 is the final one of our UFC London betting tips!
