When: Saturday, December 13, 2025 Where: DHL Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa Where to Watch: Live on WSX Recast Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Sunny South Africa welcomes the World Supercross Championship for the first time on Saturday in the “Mother City.” It’s all to race for in the SX1 bracket with three riders in title contention, but we fancy Jason Anderson for glory. He comfortably clinched the Swedish GP last weekend and has ridden onto two podiums in four rounds this campaign. Anderson averages 5.5 across all rounds this year, impacted by his 13th-place outing on the Gold Coast in round three. Over in the SX2 class, Max Anstie looks set to secure the title at the Cape Town Stadium, needing only four points to put the Championship beyond his rivals.
Key Times (CAT) Start: 5:30 p.m. Finish: 10:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Jason Anderson lands in South Africa as the rider to beat, and he showed us in Sweden that he means business. The Pipes Motorsports racer has posted three top fives this series, including two podiums. He looked ever so comfortable on his 450cc in Stockholm, grabbing the lead in the first corner of race three and never relinquishing it. Anderson lines up at -114 for the triumph, potentially paying out $37.54 on a $20 wager.
BKFC Fight Night Derby
When: Saturday, December 13, 2025 Where: Valiant Live, Derby, England Where to Watch: Live on Fubo Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
BKFC organizers set up the squared circle for the penultimate time in 2025 on Saturday night. This time, the promotion entertains the residents of Derby, bringing them a tantalizing title fight to cap off proceedings. Conor Cooke battles Anthony Holmes for the UK light heavyweight belt on Saturday after losing one fight in six appearances. The only blemish on Cooke’s record is a round one knockout to David Oscar last year. However, the hiccup pushed him to bounce back stronger, winning three consecutive brawls since, two via a first-round KO.
Key Times (EST)
Fights Start: 2:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
The favorite for the UK light heavyweight belt, Conor Cooke, claims the expert pick honor for the Fight Night in Derby. He’s got momentum on his side with three consecutive victories and carries an 83.3% success rate into the Squared Circle. Sportsbooks have Cooke at -173 for the title, potentially paying out $31.56 on a $20.00 wager.
PBR UTB: Manchester
When: December 12 – 13, 2025 Where: SNHU Arena, Manchester, NH Where to Watch: Live on Paramount+ Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
PBR wunderkind John Crimber is back in the UTB hot seat and looking for consistency this year. The youngster held top spot in the early part of the campaign last year, but was leapfrogged by Brady Fielder midway through, before the Aussie handed the mantle to Dalton Kasel. The previous term was a learning curve for “Mr. October,” and we expect him to threaten the leaderboard all year. Crimber arrives at the UTB season opener after earning the day two MVP at the PBR Teams Championship in late October.
Key Times Daily (EST):
Riding Starts: 7:45 p.m.
Expert Pick
The youngest rider in PBR history to earn $1 Million, John Crimber earns our vote as the expert pick for Manchester. He rides into New Hampshire after snatching two of the first three UTB rounds in 2024-25. Crimber also closed out the previous campaign with the third-highest average score of 88.27. The Brazilian-American hybrid lines up for the season opener at +1000, potentially paying out $220.00 when you wager $20.00.
