Coming Up in UFC, MMA & Boxing: January Events

DeFelice/Getty Images/AFP

We sent off 2021 with a bang as a plethora of MMA and boxing events that had fans and bettors hyped for the holidays. With the New Year coming, January 2022 has big shoes to fill. But what is usually a “slow” month for combat sports is looking hefty.

Let’s preview the biggest fights for January with the betting odds courtesy of the BetUS online sportsbook.

UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Chikadze

  • Date/Time: Jan. 15th, 2022, 4 p.m. ET
  • Venue: UFC Apex, Las Vegas, NV
  • Broadcast: ESPN+

The UFC’s first event of the year is a treat for all fight fans as featherweight contenders Calvin Kattar fights Giga Chikadze for a potential title shot. The early UFC odds have Chikadze (14-2-0) as a -230 favorite while the comeback on Kattar (22-5-0) is +180.

Chikadze has built a case as the best kickboxer in the division with KO wins over Edson Barboza and Cub Swanson. But Kattar has come through as an underdog in the past and can cash as the UFC best bet if he finds a way to slow down the Georgian.

Boxing: Smith Jr. vs Johnson

  • Date/Time: Jan. 15th, 2022, 10 p.m. ET
  • Venue: Turning Stone Resort & Casino, Verona, NY
  • Broadcast: ESPN

Top Rank will have arguably the best feature bout of the month as WBO light heavyweight champion Joe Smith Jr. defends his strap against Callum Johnson. Smith (27-3-0, 21 KOs) enters this one as the decided favorite per the boxing odds. Johnson (20-1-0, 14 KOs) will be an underdog for the first time since he fought Artur Berterbiev, which he lost.

UFC 270: Ngannou vs Gane

  • Date/Time: January 22 2022, 6 p.m. ET
  • Venue: Honda Center, Anaheim, CA
  • Broadcast: Pay per view

The UFC’s biggest heavyweight bout in nearly a decade takes place for UFC 270 and it’s got everything: hype, drama, and big potential for a knockout. UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou defends against interim champion Ciryl Gane in a bout between former training partners.

Ngannou (16-3-0) is combat sports’ most vicious knockout artist since Mike Tyson and Gane (10-0-0) is an unbeaten prodigy who moves like a lightweight. If you bet online now, Ngannou can be had at a pick’em price of -110 while Gane is at -120.

In the co-main event is the UFC Flyweight Championship as new king Brandon Moreno concludes his trilogy against former champ Deiveison Figueiredo. Moreno (19-5-2) now enters the -170 favorite while Figueiredo is the dog at +140 after being heavily favored in the previous two bouts.

Bellator 273: Bader vs Moldavsky

  • Date/Time: January 29 2022, 7 p.m. ET
  • Venue: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA
  • Broadcast: Showtime

Last but not least is Bellator’s offering to end the month: their own heavyweight unification bout. Champion Ryan Bader returns to defend against Russian bruiser Valentin Moldavsky, the interim champ. Odds are yet to be released but expect this one to be tight between Bader (28-7-0) and Moldavsky (11-1-0).

As a long-time Toronto Raptors and Buffalo Bills fan, Go Paolo knows that every dog gets its day. Paolo fancies himself as an underdog in the sports betting world as he does not come from a traditional sports background. He did not become a hardcore sports fan until his freshman days in college studying Mass Media and Communications. While he played basketball and trained in martial arts, Paolo sees himself more as a nerd who cut his teeth in sports analysis by dropping truth bombs and stone-cold facts against crazed fans from online message boards. It was here he caught the attention of several sports journalists and website owners who gave him his start as a sportswriter. He has since published with the likes of Sportsnet and FanSided and has been writing about sports betting for over five years. Paolo is thrilled to continue covering sports and cannot wait to unearth more underdogs and unconventional winners.
