UFC on ESPN 1 Betting Odds: Cain Velasquez an Early Favorite Over Francis Ngannou, More

The UFC will travel to the desert this weekend for a special Sunday edition of fights. All the action will take place from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

The card will get started with three fights on the early prelims at 5:30 p.m. ET via UFC fight pass. Four more tussles will take place on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET before the event's six-fight main card gets going at 9 p.m. ET.

The main event pits two of the heavyweight division's most ferocious competitors in former-champion Cain Velasquez and current No. 3 contender Francis Ngannou.

The co-main event also figures to be an entertaining affair, as lightweights James Vick and Paul Felder will battle it out for a potential spot inside the division's top-10.
