UFC 230 Fighting Odds – Cormier vs. Lewis MMA Lines

UFC 230 takes place on Saturday, November 3, 2018 in Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.

Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (21-1, 1 NC, 10 KOs, 4 SUBs) will defend his title against knockout artist Derrick Lewis (21-5, 18 KOs, 1 SUBs). The card issuers reside on pay-per-view starting 10pm ET.
Only one pay-per-view following the Khabib-McGregor superfight, the UFC is providing us a heavyweight title match. Plus it just so happens to feature one of UFC 229’s breakout star:”The Dark Beast” himself, Derrick Lewis. It’s 1 thing to score a stunning, last-second comeback win in a battle you’re becoming dominated. But Lewis topped that by following it up with the funniest post-fight meeting in UFC history, on the biggest night in UFC history.
That is 1 way of turning into a celebrity. And now, the one-dimensional knockout artist that never actually seemed like a legitimate competitor is fighting for the name less than a month after having a beating in the hands of Alexander Volkov. Daniel Cormier’s probably drooling at the thought of an easy paycheck. It is going to also be his first heavyweight title defense.
Regardless of the UFC declaring a banger of a scrap between middleweight hulks Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa, the enormous Cuban has stated that the fight won’t be taking place. Though we really hope this contest happens, we tend to believe that the fighter when they said that they are not ready. Let us hope he heals up in time.
If those 185-pounders don’t get it on, then there are still three mad great middleweight matchups to anticipate. The biggest of them is a rematch between former champions Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman, respectively rated No. 2 and No. 3. Perennial contender Ronaldo”Jacare” Souza matches former WSOF champ David Branch, together with both guys jockeying to get a title position. The branch’s most exciting prospect, Israel Adesanya, puts his undefeated record on the line against No. 6 Derek Brunson. Occasionally,”The previous Stylebender” resembles the second coming of a prime Anderson Silva, and everybody is expecting that this dude is for real.

UFC 230 Betting Lines, Predictions and Picks
Here’s a weird story. In a meeting with MMAJunkie just days following the Volkov struggle, Lewis came out and said he had no desire to headline UFC 230. That he had already begun eating breakfast snacks and also his cardio was nowhere near the amount it needed to be in to virtually challenge for the name.
He ended that interview by reluctantly saying that it would take a giant paycheck for him to jump into a title fight with one of the best to ever do it. Later that day, Dana White announced that Lewis will be fighting for the name. Sounds like somebody got PAID.
Still, the UFC’s greed is revealing here. Lewis was nearly finished multiple occasions, and it was clear he could not survive five rounds. Now the UFC is putting him on a card less than a month after? That’s known as tapping a celebrity turn. And while we adore how honorable DC is, it sure seems like he’s cherry picking here.
The last time Weidman and Rockhold fulfilled, the AKA surfer boy cracked the prior All-American wrestler and took the belt from him. Time hasn’t softened the grudge between the two, and it was a close fight up until that point. Rockhold has been knocked out twice, suggesting that his chin is a severe weakness. Coincidentally, Weidman endured two brutal knockouts as well before bouncing back against Kelvin Gastelum.
Both these middleweights are good everywhere, though they have different strategies in each stage. Rockhold’s submission grappling is top notch, but Weidman is a leading traditional wrestler. Weidman can box with all the very best of them, but Luke’s unorthodox kicks can do major damage.
Ronaldo Souza can not seem to catch a break. One of the most accomplished BJJ artists to ever enter the octagon, he’s been in multiple title eliminators, only to fall short in each one. Beating David Branch likely wouldn’t seal the deal, but he could keep his title on a short list of worthy challengers. Branch could vault into the title mix by simply taking the well-regarded Brazilian.
Israel Adesanya has what required to be a star: an engaging personality and more importantly, an electrical fighting style. He is obviously a exceptional striker, landing all of eight limbs with exceptional accuracy and power. Of course, like all great standup artists, he’s got to pass the wrestler evaluation, and Derek Brunson – a former collegiate wrestler – is much more than qualified to dish that out.
