In the co-main event, all-around amazing Anderson Silva takes on the new breed of fighter, striking phenom Israel Adesanya, at a bout with title implications on the line.
It’s a night of middleweight activity in Melbourne, but there are some heavyweight bets out there for fans of UFC betting to create, so let us get to it.
Whittaker-Gastelum UFC 234 Betting Analysis The most important event on Saturday is that a cracker of a fight between two former Ultimate Fighter champions with similar strengths.
Whittaker’s run to the middleweight title was spearheaded by a dangerous, multi-layered striking game. Whittaker can press ahead or counter tops, works in combination, has knockout power in his punches and sharp leg kicks he can set pace with.
“Bobby Knuckles” has also come to be an elite wrestler, winning the Australian championships only last year.
Conversely, Gastelum came to MMA with a background in high school wrestling and has come to be a highly dangerous striker. On the toes, Gastelum prefers a pressure-oriented style, where he could throw in combination and look for the knockout.
Gastelum also prefers to use his wrestling much more offensively than Whittaker, shooting for takedowns at almost twice the rate of the UFC middleweight champion.
Whittaker-Gastelum Bets Bets
Though the two men can wrestle, both favor striking contests and Whittaker in particular are going to be able to dictate where this battle occurs. This implies this should largely be a striking competition and there, Whittaker has the advantage.
Whittaker has more tools, works in a greater pace, and is brilliant at fixing over time. In addition to this, Yoel Romero did everything short of decapitate him in their last fight and was unable to stop Whittaker, therefore it’s hard to think Gastelum could do so.
Whittaker is a -265 favored per SugarHouse, and those chances believe spot on. However, Whittaker by decision is +200 at SugarHouse, and considering Whittaker is the heavy favorite and Gastelum has only been stopped once — and that was by submission, a skill we’ve yet to watch from Whittaker — that is surely worth a wager.

Israel Adesanya is the hottest prospect in MMA right now, having made his UFC debut only last year and racking up four impressive victories with a stylish, violent striking game reminiscent of Silva’s prime.
