(Editor’s note: This post first appeared on Sportsbook Wire , part of the USA TODAY Network.) Petr Yan and Jose Aldo square off in a bantamweight bout for the vacant title on the main card Saturday at UFC 251 at the UFC’s “Fight Island” facility on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The prelims kick off at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN/ ESPN+ , followed by the main card set for 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view. Yan (14-1) might have a three-inch disadvantage in reach, but that’s about the only shortcoming here. The switch-stance fighter has a sizable 5.65 to 3.47 advantage in significant strikes landed per minute, and 1.73 to 0.64 in takedown average.
