The Ultimate Fighting Championship series moves on to Canada where UFC 231 will be held in Ontario on Saturday 8 December in front of a sell-out crowd at the Scotiabank Arena. Let’s check out the best Holloway v Ortega betting tips and odds.

For those of us who can’t make it all the way to Toronto for a night of high class mixed martial arts action – that’ll be most – BT Sport come to the rescue when screening the best of the night’s bouts live; the main event is scheduled for a 04:00 GMT start.

The card looks one well worth setting your alarm for; certainly, those who do decide to stay up burning the midnight oil have plenty to concern themselves with. The bill is topped by a fascinating featherweight match-up between Max Holloway and Brian Ortega.

Strong supporting card

Supporting acts come in the form of Valentina Shevchenko v Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the women’s flyweight division; Renato Moicano v an opponent yet to be announced at featherweight; Claudio Gadelha v Nina Ansaroff, women’s strawweight and Jimi Manuwa v Thiago Santos coming to us from the light heavyweight division.

Fox Sports viewers can sit through the pick of the preliminary card with gems promised including Alex Oliviera v Gunnar Nelson welterweight and Eryk Anders v Elias Theodorou middleweight. If you are a subscriber to UFC Fight Pass there are another five evenly matched contests to enjoy; these include Brad Katona v Matthew Lopez at welterweight and Hakeem Dawodu v Kyle Bochniak set at featherweight.

Your choice of what to bet on

As well as having a choice of what fights to watch on the night, bookmakers have put in the coverage to ensure you have plenty at hand to bet on. There’s a list of exciting markets on the night’s big fights, offering a flood of attractively priced deals.

You can play it safe and have your say on the winner of each leg; perhaps throw a few together in a nice priced accumulator. If your luck is in and you call the outcomes correctly, you could be set for a decent pay-out from the bookies. Wouldn’t that just come at the right time of year with December always tough on the plastic?

Are you more of a risk taker? Then the method of victory market could be for you. Here, punters are asked to call both the winner of the fight and how they will get the job done – submission, points or KO/TKO. It’s tougher than predicting the bare result, of course, so why bother? Well, the rewards are far greater and, for less of an outgoing you could hit the jackpot. Bet small, win big – it’s the reason we love sports betting.

That’s our preferred approach and you’ll find our thoughts on the top of the bill tussle, our advice on how the results should go as well as which bookies are offering the best value to ensure you get the most for your stake money – vital if aiming to land a knockout blow on the traders at UFC 231.
