UFC on ESPN 9: Woodley vs. Burns Odds, Schedule, Predictions

The UFC returns to Las Vegas for a UFC on ESPN card that features Tyron Woodley and Gilbert Burns in a crucial welterweight fight as the main event.

T-Wood is fighting for the first time since losing his 170-pound title to Kamaru Usman, while Burns comes into the fight as a slight underdog. However, wins over Demian Maia and Gunnar Nelson have him looking like a live dog against the former champion.

Elsewhere on the card, Blagoy Ivanov and Augusto Sakai are set for a heavyweight collision. Ivanov has a reputation for being tough as nails, and Sakai has knockout wins in four of his last five fights, so it has all the makings of a slugfest.
