UFC 281 features one of the most anticipated fights of the year. Isreal Adesanya must overcome his kick-boxing nemesis Alex Pereira should he continue his path towards becoming the greatest middleweight fighter ever. Another title is up for grabs between Weili Zhang and Carla Esparza, while the rest of the card fills out with a number of exciting fights. This card offers a little bit of everything for bettors this week. A host of known commodities as well as fights that project to end inside the distance make for a fun week of fights. Two fights I discuss below offer stand-alone value should you decide to play them separately as well as strong odds if you go the parlay route.
