Since losing to Kamaru Usman back in late December of 2015, Leon Edwards’ stock has been on the rise with a 5-0 record over his last five fights. The 26-year-old will try to add another victory to his winning streak in the main event of UFC Fight Night 132 when he faces off against Donald Cerrone.
Leon Edwards is a -200 betting favorite to win the main event in Singapore at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. While Edwards is still relatively unproven over the course of his young MMA career to date, he appears to be getting better with each fight. This match against a seasoned veteran like Cerrone will give Edwards the chance to establish himself as a potential future threat in the welterweight division.
After going winless in 2017 with three straight losses, Donald Cerrone (+160) snapped out of his losing streak with a knockout win over Yancy Medeiros in the main event of UFC Fight Night 126 back in February. Another main event victory for the 35-year-old could put 2017 in the rear-view mirror as a down year, while a loss would perhaps suggest that the 33-10 veteran doesn’t have much left in the tank.
In a couple of fairly evenly matched fights leading into the main event, Tyson Pedro (-135) clashes with Ovince Saint Preux (+105) and Jessica Rose Clark (-140) takes on Jessica Eye (+110).
The light heavyweight division is currently one of the weakest in the UFC, which adds some legitimate value to the match between Pedro and Saint Preux. In a similar composition to the main event, the 26-year-old Pedro (7-1 as a professional) is trying to earn a win over the established 35-year-old veteran Saint Preux (22-11).
Pedro certainly appears to have a promising future in this weight class, but Saturday’s match will help determine if the future is becoming the present for the Australian.
Rounding out the rest of the top of the card are a pair of fights with heavy favorites in Jingliang Li (-350) vs. Daichi Abe (+265) and Petr Yan (-500) vs. Teruto Ishihara (+350). Yan makes his UFC debut with an 8-1 record as a professional.
