The UFC’s first trip to Zagreb is headlined by a fight featuring former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and Ben Rothwell. Rizzo and Kelly looked at that fight, the rest of the main card and highlighted betting angles on some of the bouts on the preliminary card.

You might even be able to pick out a couple of parlays from their analysis, as Rizzo was surprisingly on point with his European UFC fighters. As he analyzed the betting lines, he likened MMA betting to horse racing and explained how betting logic between the two sports can be applied.

While we had the usual fun on RNC Radio, Rizzo gave some thought-provoking insight about laying down money on UFC events featuring combatants with whom North American fans might not be so familiar.
