Tyron Woodley vs Gilber Burns live poll for UFC Fight night on ESPN. This highly anticipated UFC matchup takes place tonight. We countdown up until the main event. UFC Fight Night APEX: Woodley vs Burns Betting Preview
Predictions and betting picks for UFC Fight Night, featuring Tyron Woodley vs. Gilbert Burns in the main event. After the UFC successfully took us on a 32-fight marathon earlier this month, the organization is back at it this week with UFC Fight Night APEX, live Saturday night from … say it with me: LAS VEGAS!

Yes, it’s true! The UFC is officially back in Las Vegas after the Nevada State Athletic Commission approved the return of combat sports earlier this week. Headlining the organization’s first event back are two of the world’s best welterweights. Former champ and No. 1 Tyron Woodley (19-4-1) takes on No. 6 Gilbert Burns (18-3). Woodley, hungry and looking to get back on track, will be making his long-awaited return after losing his title roughly 14 months ago to current champ Kamaru Usman. Burns, who’s been on a heater lately, has won five in a row all in just over a year’s time. With a win Saturday night, either Woodley or Burns will validate their right as the potential next title challenger.

Co-headlining the event, two durable heavyweights will be matched up as No. 12 Blagoy Ivanov (18-3) will take on No. 13 Augusto Sakai (14-1-1), as Sakai looks to make it six wins in a row, while Ivanov has hopes to rebound after dropping a razor close split decision to Derrick Lewis last November.

A narrative for bettors to consider going into his card is the UFC’s decision to roll with the use of its smaller, 25-foot octagon at the APEX, instead of the standard 30-foot cage. The use of the smaller octagon has historically increased fight finish rates and shortened average fight times due to the ability to create more action and engagement between the two fighters. Take note.
