bet365 customers can now immerse themselves fully into all the octagon action and UFC 288 odds as it launches its new in-house MMA feature!
‘Fight Night’ takes customers inside the cage, with dedicated segments including tale of the tape and match up stats, providing fight fans with all the necessary information ahead of the biggest and best UFC events.
The UFC brand integration deepens the partnership between bet365 and the world's premier mixed martial arts organisation. In February 2022, the two brands announced an extension of their partnership that named bet365 the exclusive ‘Official Betting Partner’ of UFC in the UK and Ireland, following a successful collaboration in 2021.
An ongoing part of the agreement is the bet365 sponsored YouTube show entitled ‘One on One,’ hosted by UFC analyst and commentator Laura Sanko. Sanko brings her exceptional MMA insight as she sits down with some of the best MMA fighters in the world. The show, which included behind the scenes action as well as fight previews, reviews, and feature-based content, is already looking ahead to this weekend’s action.
The launch of Fight Night arrives in perfect time for the return of the ‘King of Cringe’ as Henry Cejudo steps foot in the octagon once again at UFC 288. Cejudo last competed in May 2020 when he successfully defended his UFC Bantamweight title against the legendary Dominick Cruz and made it a sixth straight win.

During Cejudo’s hiatus, Sterling successfully kept hold of his belt as he immediately took the rematch with Petr Yan and edged the former champion with a split decision win. TJ Dillashaw then dared to dance with Sterling, with the champion building on all the confidence that the belt provides, and produced a stunning stoppage victory to set up this immense match up.

Regardless of a break from competition within the UFC, Cejudo is considered on par with current champion Aljamain Sterling with both 10/11 to win the fight. Thanks to bet365’s Fight Night feature, it is clear Sterling is able to finish fights on the feet or on the ground, is 3/1 to win by either KO, TKO, DQ or Submission to retain his Bantamweight crown.
The ‘Tape’ Fight Night feature shows Cejudo is the smaller man, with a seven-inch difference in reach and a three-inch difference in height. With six of his ten UFC victories coming via a decision win, Cejudo may look to work in and out of the champion’s longer reach and outwork him over the full five rounds towards a 23/10 win by Decision or Technical Decision.
In the Co-Main event of the evening are two title contending Welterweights in #4 ranked Belal Muhammad and #5 ranked Gilbert Burns. You would have to go back to February 2019 to witness Muhammad suffer a loss, where he has since racked up eight wins in his last nine fights, with one ‘No Contest’.
Muhammad is known for his longevity in fights, and is backed at 11/10 to continue his hot streak and beat the former UFC Welterweight title challenger. Burns has suffered two losses in his last five fights against two dominant operators in Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev, but is still the 8/11 favourite heading into this one.
Whether you’re backing the favourite, or believe the underdog is due to have their day; be sure to check out the Fight Night feature to fully equip yourself with all the knowledge you need to give yourself the best chance during UFC 288 this weekend.
