Update: Ben Rothwell defeats Ovince Saint Preux by split decision. Rothwell was +125 to win the fight, and +400 to win by decision.
The co-main event of UFC Jacksonville tonight has a pair of heavyweights in Ben Rothwell and Ovince Saint Preux doing battle live from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
Rothwell has a huge weight and resume edge, tipping the scales at 265 lbs. yesterday, which is 24.5 more than Saint Preux, who moved from light heavyweight to take this fight. Rothwell is 38-years-old, and is 37-12 in his pro career, while Saint Preux is 24-13 with most of his fights in the lighter division.
Saint Preux is a small favorite at -139, but so far most of the money is on the underdog: Kenosha, Wisconsin’s own Rothwell is receiving 46% of the bets but 51% of the handle so far. The other option might be to take Rothwell to win by knockout or TKO, as he’s won 75% of his UFC fights by punching his opponent to stop the fight. The value there would be the +225 price over his +115 just to win.
