Sports in the age of COVID have been hit or miss, and the UFC has been affected quite a bit over the last six months. This week\u2019s headline fight was originally supposed to take place at UFC 254, but instead it was moved back after Rafael dos Anjos tested positive for COVID-19 last month. Then, Islam Makhachev was forced to pull out with a staph infection, leading to Paul Felder replacing him on the card on Monday. It won\u2019t be easy for Felder to fight on such short notice, but the oddsmakers are giving him a decent chance<\/a> of beating dos Anjos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s promotion will be held at UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. The prelims for UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. Dos Anjos will kick off at 4 p.m. ET, and the main event is slated to start at 7 p.m. ET. All the action will be available exclusively through ESPN Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. Dos Anjos Betting Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Felder +167<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rafael Dos Anjos -192<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felder was originally supposed to be on the broadcast team for this event, but he decided to step out of the suit and tie in order to get into the Octagon. He is 17-5 with 10 knockouts in his MMA career, yet each of Felder\u2019s last four fights has gone to the cards. Three of those four bouts were decided by split decision, including his loss to Dan Hooker back in February. Felder was seen as the winner of that bout by most in attendance, but the bout was declared Fight of the Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos Anjos was the lightweight champion for 16 months, but he decided to move up to welterweight shortly after losing the belt to Eddie Alvarez. He registered three straight victories to challenge Colby Covington for the welterweight title, but he was unable to claim the strap at UFC 225. Since that loss, Dos Anjos has been defeated by unanimous decision in three of his last four fights. That led to him dropping back down to lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these fighters have seen most of their recent fights go the distance, but it might be wise to bet this fight<\/a> to end early. Dos Anjos is pretty aggressive, and Felder might look to end this bout early since he might not be ready for five rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khaos Williams +205<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Razak Alhassan -240<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a method to Alhassan\u2019s fights. He either knocks out his opponent in the first round or he loses a decision. All 10 of his wins have come by first-round knockout, with eight of those victories coming within 90 seconds, while both of his losses have been by decision. Alhassan comes out with a lot of fire and fury, so it\u2019s all about withstanding him early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the second UFC fight for Khaos Williams. He knocked out Alex Morono within 30 seconds in his UFC debut back in February, but his bout with Laureano Staropoli was canceled due to the coronavirus. Williams is 10-1 in his career and has shown some stamina in other promotions, so he is an intriguing option<\/a> at this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saparbeg Safarov +245<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian Marquez -285<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since joining the UFC, Safarov is 1-3. His only victory came be unanimous decision back in March 2019, and he has lost by submission twice and knockout once. Safarov debuted as a light heavyweight and he is trying to make it as a middleweight now, but his recent results aren\u2019t promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marquez is 7-2 as a professional MMA fighter. He debuted with UFC at Dana White\u2019s Tuesday Night Contender Series back in August 2017, but this is his first time in the ring since July 2018. Given that nugget, it\u2019s hard to see why he is such a favorite, so a bet on the underdog<\/a> might be prudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
