UFC 287: Pereira vs Adesanya Odds & Preview

One of the biggest UFC events of the year takes place on Sunday, April 6 at the Miami-Dade Arena in Miami, FL. UFC 287, starting at 01.30am BST, features the highly anticipated main event rematch between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya for the UFC Middleweight Championship.

The Pereira vs Adesanya odds from UFC official partner Stake.com show a slight favouritism for the former champ (PER +118 - ADE -128), despite the fact that Pereira has defeated his opponent three times in the past, 2 in Kickboxing and 1 in the UFC.

Starting with the defending champion and underdog of this bout according to bookmakers, Alex Pereira (4-0 in UFC career) looks forward to dominate his rival, and walk out of this title fight as still the UFC Middleweight Champion.

The #6 fighter in UFC's pound-for-pound rankings is riding an 4-fight undefeated streak, having won three of these by knock-out, just like he did in the previous battle against Sunday's opponent (Pereira to win by KO at +225 odds @Stake.com).

As for the challenger and ex-champion, Israel Adesanya (12-2 in UFC career) was undefeated in the Middleweight division until he met Pereira. Among others, he succesfully defended his championship 5 times in a row, before losing it to him.

The Last Stylebender has won four UFC Middleweight Championship fights by decision and two by KO/TKO, against prominent opponents like Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier (Adesanya to win by decision at +210 odds @Stake.com).

For a reputable bout like this, players can find a lot of extra betting options, too. Stake.com has given out odds for Pereira vs Adesanya 2 on markets like Asian Total regarding rounds (Over 4.5 +106 - Under 2.5 -135), and whether The Fight Will Go The Distance (Yes +112 - No -143).

Before the main event, two interesting fights are featured, with Gilbert Burns going against "BMF" Champion Jorge Masvidal (BUR -417 - MAS +370), while Rob Font takes on Adrian Yanez (FON +160 - YAN -172).

Last but not least, Stake.com honours the UFC sponsorship by offering bettors live streaming coverage for the three aforementioned fights. For more info on the bookmaker, feel free to visit our Stake review.

Stake.com is a name that undoubtedly comes to mind in discussions about crypto gambling. The brand originates from the people behind Primedice, one of the first pure crypto gambling sites. I really appreciate their in-house sportsbook, as it offers a wide variety of sports events and quite competitive odds on several markets. It is a welcome change of pace from the hundreds of white-label bookies. Furthermore, crypto-only payments work smoothly and are a huge plus for players that prefer betting under the radar. Just remember to monitor the current crypto market trends, as you are not protected against the infamous crypto volatility. Nonetheless, I would like to see some upgrades in certain areas. Features like Bet-Builder and Partial/Auto Cash Out are a must nowadays. Also, a few more sports promotions would be a good addition. In any case, Stake is on a good path, and I am curious to see how their UK launch will roll out. I believe that every bettor familiar with cryptocurrencies should try them out.
