UFC Fight Night 81 odds are up at the sportsbooks, as the event comes to us this Sunday, January 17th from the Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The main event sees UFC title action in the Bantamweight division, as champion TJ Dillashaw defends his belt against challenger Dominick Cruz. Cruz, a former champion himself who did not lose the belt, but rather gave it up due to injury, has been relentless in his mind games and pressure in the build-up to the match. We will see if it pays off for Cruz when he is locked in the cage with Dillashaw.
The co-feature bouts see electric Lightweights in action as former titleholder Anthony Pettis takes on Eddie Alvarez. Alvarez, a former Bellator champion, has faced only top-shelf talent since coming over to the UFC. He is looking to notch a second win in a row after beating Gilbert Melendez in his last outing. Pettis is looking to bounce back as he was flat in his most recent appearance when he dropped the Lightweight title to Rafael Dos Anjos.
In the Heavyweight division, Travis Browne clashes with Matt Mitrione. Both men are coming off losses and are in need of a win. Mitrione had a three-fight winning streak snapped, while Browne is 1-2 in his last three fights.
