UFC on Fox: Weidman vs. Gastelum Odds and Betting Preview

Chris Weidman has lost each of his last three fights, with his last win coming all the way back in May 2015. The former middleweight champion will try to get back on track Saturday night in the main event of UFC on Fox 25 facing Kelvin Gastelum.

Weidman is listed as a +150 underdog to win this bout in Long Island at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

After defeating Anderson Silva for the middleweight title at UFC 162 and then successfully defending the strap against Silva, Lyoto Machida and Vitor Belfort, Weidman was quickly rising as one of the UFC’s biggest stars at 13-0. But since dropping the title to Luke Rockhold at UFC 194, Weidman has seen his stock plummet thanks to losses to Yoel Romero and Gegard Mousasi.

Kelvin Gastelum (-185 to win the fight) will look to add to Weidman’s losing streak with a fourth straight win. Gastelum’s last win over Vitor Belfort was later overturned to a no contest after he tested positive for marijuana, but the first-round knockout win was still an impressive showing. With that win overturned, Gastelum’s record still stands at 13-2 as a professional and 8-2 in the UFC.

Dennis Bermudez suffered a disappointing loss in the main event of UFC Fight Night 104 to Chan Sung Jung, dropping his professional record to 16-6 and his record over his last five fights to 2-3. Bermudez is a -190 favorite on the UFC Fight Night odds in his featherweight matchup on Saturday night against Darren Elkins (+155).

Since going 2-3 in his previous five fights, Elkins is a perfect 4-0 over his last four fights with one knockout win and three decision wins.

Two talented young bantamweights will meet on the undercard as Jimmie Rivera (-225 at sports betting sites) faces Thomas Almeida (+175). Both fighters have just one loss on their professional records as Rivera comes in with a 20-1 record and Almeida enters with a 21-1 record.

Rivera has won each of his last 19 fights and is a perfect 4-0 through his first four fights in the UFC.

Other fights on the card include Gian Villante (-135) vs. Patrick Cummins (+105), Lyman Good (-205) vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (+165) and Eryk Anders (-120) vs. Rafael Natal (-110). Anders is making his UFC debut with a 7-0 professional record.
