Best bets for UFC 248: Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero

A return to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas means that UFC 248 is a major fight card intended to draw plenty of attention.

Not only are we getting two titles fights, but both feature two current champions growing into international stars, and each is making a first title defense. Coincidentally, both are facing talented challengers who have plenty of title fight experience of their own. The incumbent champs are both betting favorites and likely to close that way, but we're only backing one with any confidence.

Early prelims begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, and prelims are at 8 p.m. on ESPN. The main card starts at 10 p.m. on PPV.
