It's been 602 days since Cain Velasquez last stepped into the Octagon, and an interim belt was awarded to Fabricio Werdum in his absence. Now the matchup that had been planned for the UFC's inaugural trip to Mexico will finally take place, and there can be only one UFC heavyweight champion after UFC 188. Whoever emerges victorious, expect it to be a violent finish.

The odds are live for the entire card, and we'll take a closer look at the top three matchups and the performance metrics for the fighters involved. As usual, sides have been clearly taken in most cases and bet up, but value remains in some of the totals and props.
