Like the NFL, the UFC has made its way to New Jersey for Super Bowl weekend. UFC 169 is set to take place tomorrow night at the Prudential Center in Newark (10:00pm ET start time, PPV); the event is being headlined by a bantamweight title fight between current belt holder Renan Barao and former WEC lightweight champion Uriah Faber. Barao and Faber are not the only two fighting for a belt on Saturday night, though. Also in action is featherweight champion Jose Aldo, who will defend his strap against 13-2 Ricardo Lamas. The latest UFC 169 Fight Predictions and Odds are favoring the two champions and heavily in Aldo's case. Barao is drawing a -275 line in his meeting with Faber while Aldo getting -625 odds ($625 wins $100) against Lamas. Barao is a perfect 6-0 inside the Octagon while Aldo is 5-0 since joining the promotion.
Saturday's main card also features an intriguing clash between former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem and former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir. Both fighters could be on the UFC chopping block as they are a combined 0-5 in their last five outings. The odds makers are expecting Overeem to get the win; he is presently listed as a -375 money line favorite.
