          In Chicago this weekend, the UFC will host two title fights in the welterweight and middleweight divisions. Several more matchups will have title shot implications. Combine all that with the sophomore appearance of Phil "CM Punk" Brooks and a trio of heavyweight matchups, and we've got a pretty heavy fight card at UFC 225.

          We'll look at the betting value for both title fights, as well as the final preliminary card matchup.

          Note: All odds are via Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook unless otherwise stated, as of June 7. Raw data is provided by Fight Metric.

          Middleweight title: Champion Robert Whittaker (-260) vs. No. 1 Yoel Romero (+210)
