LAS VEGAS – With 14 straight wins and high-profile stoppages in two of his first three UFC fights, it’s no surprise Makhmud Muradov is a favorite Saturday. But that Muradov (25-6 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is such a heavy favorite against someone like Gerald Meerschaert (32-14 MMA, 7-6 UFC) might come as a bit of a shock. Muradov is the biggest betting favorite on the card at Tipico at -650 – and that’s against the fighter who owns the UFC’s record for most submissions at middleweight. Muradov said his fight with Meerschaert is one he has had his eye on for years. “I know this guy,” Muradov told MMA Junkie at Wednesday’s media day for UFC on ESPN 30 in Las Vegas
