Best UFC Fight Night bets: Cerrone vs. Iaquinta

There are few athletes whose primary reputation is based on the willingness to compete anytime and anywhere as Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone. That trait has made him a fan favorite, and it's also the main reason he holds so many UFC records. He's a former title challenger and the most prolific fight winner, finisher and bonus winner in UFC history. And he's still going.

But enter Al Iaquinta, a fighter who couldn't care less who is on the other side of the cage. He stepped in on short notice to face Khabib Nurmagomedov, taking the now-incumbent champion five full rounds in a gutsy performance that showed how little he minds being a massive underdog.

Each fighter has been the underdog in their prior two outings, and the odds in this pairing are nearly even. One thing is for sure: Neither will care where the odds land, though anyone betting the fight will need to.

Let's take a closer look at the main event and see where there is some betting value.


Lightweight matchup: No. 4 Al Iaquinta (-125) vs. No. 8 Donald Cerrone (+105)
