The UFC returns to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Saturday for a heavyweight title fight, as Etihad Arena plays host to UFC 321. In the main event, Tom Aspinall will defend his belt for the first time against former interim champion Ciryl Gane. In the co-main event, Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern will throw down for the vacant strawweight championship.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best bets for UFC 321.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc4a Favorite bet: Tom Aspinall wins inside the distance (-300)<\/a>
\n Chris Unger \/ UFC \/ Getty<\/p>\n

Don’t count on this fight reaching the judges’ scorecards. Aspinall’s previous three wins ended in 60, 69, and 73 seconds, respectively, and he’s only made it past the first round once in the last nine and a half years. Although Gane’s extensive Muay Thai background could make him a tougher matchup and potentially drag the Englishman into deeper waters, Aspinall’s significant edge in the grappling department makes me believe he’ll have no problem finding a finish – whether in the first or fifth round.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc4a Best underdog bet: Virna Jandiroba (+130) def. Mackenzie Dern<\/a>
\n Jeff Bottari \/ UFC \/ Getty<\/p>\n

I was a bit surprised to see Jandiroba listed as the underdog here. Sure, Dern is the more popular fighter of the two, but Jandiroba has proven to be the second-best strawweight on paper (after the soon-to-be former champ Zhang Weili) with wins over the likes of Yan Xiaonan and Amanda Lemos. She also has better striking than Dern and, in my opinion, enough of a ground game to prevent the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace from tapping her out. I like Jandiroba to win a competitive fight.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc4a Best prop bet: Valter Walker wins by submission (+135)<\/a>
\n Jeff Bottari \/ UFC \/ Getty<\/p>\n

Death, taxes, and … Valter Walker winning by heel hook? At least that’s what the heavyweight prospect’s recent record shows. Walker, the brother of UFC light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker, is 3-1 in the UFC, with all three wins coming via heel hook. This guy is a wizard on the ground, and until he wins a fight in a different fashion, I’ll back him to keep the submission train rolling.<\/p>\n
