Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Beijing, China, this Saturday morning (Nov. 24, 2018) with a pair of big-time Heavyweight battles at the fore. The Fight Pass main event will be a rematch between Francis Ngannou and Curtis Blaydes, while the co-featured fight pits the venerable Alistair Overeem against unbeaten newcomer Sergey Pavlovitch.

What Went Wrong at UFC Fight Night 140?

We came out unscathed once again! And we didn’t even need to settle for a controversial judges’ decision this time. Let’s keep it up.

UFC Fight Night 141 Odds For The Undercard:

Song Kenan (-110) vs. Alex Morono (-110)
Lauren Mueller (-420) vs. Wu Yanan (+335)
Rashad Coulter (-150) vs. Hu Yaozong (+130)
Zhang Weili (-460) vs. Jessica Aguilar (+365)
Yan Xiaonan (-450) vs. Syuri Kondo (+360)
Kevin Holland (-430) vs. John Phillips (+345)
Liu Pingyuan (-240) vs. Martin Day (+200)
Louis Smolka (-210) vs. Sumudaerji (+175)

Thoughts: Four different fights where someone is favored 4:1. Now that’s competitive matchmaking for you! You’re probably best served just stapling a couple of the big favorites together and accepting a smaller payout; my picks would be Lauren Mueller, who outclasses Wu Yanan in most areas I can think of, and Yan Xiaonan, who’s a more powerful slugger than Syuri Kondo. Parlay them and you get better than -200 odds, which sounds worth it to me.

UFC Fight Night 141 Odds For The Undercard:

Curtis Blaydes (-225) vs. Francis Ngannou (+185)
Sergey Pavlovich (-120) vs. Alistair Overeem (+100)
Song Yadong (-420) vs. Vince Morales (+335)
Li Jingliang (-170) vs. David Zawada (+150)

Thoughts: The main card is a little iffier. Ngannou is mercurial, Pavlovich-Overeem can go either way, and Song-Morales is too lopsided to be worth betting on ... especially since Morales has genuine stopping power in his right hand. I have plenty of faith in “The Leech,” though, so maybe consider putting a bit on the hometown slugger.

UFC Fight Night 141 Best Bets:

• Parlay -- Lauren Mueller and Yan Xiaonan: Bet $60 to make $30.76
• Single bet -- Li Jingliang: Bet $60 to make $35.29
