UFC 277 is set to get going this weekend from American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, July 30 at 10 p.m. ET. There is a five-bout main card highlighted by a heavyweight fight between #4 Magomed Ankalaev and #5 Anthony Smith.
This is a great fight for Ankalaev as Smith is an experienced fighter who has fought a ton of great opponents. Ankalaev is the big favorite as he should be, but Smith could give him a good fight. Smith is 36-16 and won 16 fights by KO/TKO, 14 by submission, and two by decision. Ankalaev is 16-1 and has won eight fights by KO/TKO and eight fights by decision.

Everybody is betting on Ankalaev in this one, and that is the best bet in this fight. I would stay away from this fight, however, with the odds as heavy as they are heading into the weekend. There is a great chance Ankalaev wins this fight, but it isn't a guarantee — especially at -540.
