On Saturday night at UFC 234 in the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, Robert Whittaker will Shield his middleweight title against the fourth-ranked contender, Kelvin Gastelum.

In the co-main event, all-around amazing Anderson Silva takes on the new breed of fighter, striking phenom Israel Adesanya, at a bout with name implications on the line.
It’s a night of middleweight action in Melbourne, but there are a few heavyweight bets available for lovers of UFC betting to make, so let’s get into it.
Whittaker-Gastelum UFC 234 Betting Analysis The main event on Saturday is a cracker of a struggle between two former Ultimate Fighter winners with similar strengths.
Whittaker’s run to the middleweight name was spearheaded by a dangerous, multi-layered game that was remarkable. Whittaker can press forward or counter, works in combination, has got power in his punches and sharp leg kicks he can set pace with.
“Bobby Knuckles” has also come to be an elite wrestler, winning the Australian championships only last year.
Unexpectedly, Gastelum came to MMA with a history in high school wrestling and has come to be an extremely dangerous striker. On the feet, Gastelum favors a pressure-oriented style, where he can throw in conjunction and search for the knockout.
Gastelum also prefers to use his wrestling more offensively than Whittaker, shooting takedowns at nearly twice the speed of this UFC middleweight champion.
Whittaker-Gastelum Bets Bets
Though the two men can wrestle, both favor striking contests and Whittaker specifically will have the ability to dictate where this battle takes place. This implies this should largely be a striking competition and there, Whittaker has the benefit.
Whittaker has more tools, works at a greater rate, and is excellent at adjusting over time. In addition to this, Yoel Romero did everything short of decapitate him in their final fight and was unable to stop Whittaker, therefore it’s hard to think Gastelum could do this.
Whittaker is a -265 favored per SugarHouse, and those odds believe spot on. But, Whittaker by decision is +200 at SugarHouse, and considering Whittaker is the heavy favorite and Gastelum has just been stopped once — which was by submission, a skill we have yet to watch from Whittaker — which is certainly worth a wager.
UFC 234 Silva-Adesanya Betting Evaluation After Anderson Silva was along with the MMA world, he always insisted that the fight he would most like to possess would be contrary to his clone. Now that Silva is in the twilight of his career, he finally gets his wish, or , the next best thing.
Israel Adesanya is the hottest prospect in MMA right now, having made his UFC debut only last season and racking up four impressive victories with a stylish, violent striking game reminiscent of Silva’s prime.
Adesanya can do everything on the feet and unlike Silva, he is also prone to initiating crime rather than solely waiting to counterstrike.
