With UFC Saudi Arabia on deck, our friends at BetMGM have provided the UFC Saudi Arabia betting handles. These resources are great for those who want to dive into the minds of the public on each of the big on this card.
The Saudi main event features middleweights Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov. Before that, it'll be Shara Bullet Magomedov against Michael "Venom" Page. Heavyweights Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Sergei Pavlovich will also do battle on the main card.
Remember, each sportsbook will receive slightly different action, but here are the most popular UFC Saudi Arabia betting handles:
UFC Saudi Arabia: Adesanya vs Imavov Handles
The public is fading Adesanya this week (add me to that list). As it stands on Friday, Jan. 31, 59% of the handle is on the underdog Imavov to win. BetMGM respects that action, too, as it moved Imavov from +150 to +140.

UFC Saudi Arabia: Most Bet Props (Tickets)
Said Nurmagomedov (RUS) by Ninja Choke +3000
Israel Adesanya (NGR) by Submission +2000
Israel Adesanya (NGR) by KO/TKO or DQ +325
Jairzinho Rozenstruik (SUR) by Decision/Technical Decision +900
Michael Page (ENG) by KO/TKO or DQ +525
The public is really swinging for the fences with the most bet-on props. Betting on a specific submission (ninja choke) is always dicey, so I don't recommend that action. Can't say I love Adesanya by submission either. I'd prefer KO or simply "inside the distance" for those intent on betting an Izzy finish. Beyond that, Rozenstruik by decision at +900 stands out. I think that's a fair risk given Jairzinho's propensity for the occasional calm kickboxing match. Plus, Pavlovich went the distance vs Alexander Volkov in his last fight.
