The UFC makes its way back to Las Vegas as they prepare to hit us with another Fight Night, with things cooling down after the return of Brandon Moreno and the recent UFC 308.

This time, we get a fight between a seasoned veteran, Neil Magny, and a rising talent in Carlos Prates, who will give us an entertaining main event in the Welterweight Division.

The co-main brings the Bantamweights to the front as we get a clash between rising stars Ricky Turcios vs. Bernardo Sopaj, who are likely to ignite things before the main event hits.

This fight card is filled to the brim with international talent in the second half of the event, including the five main card fights, and a lot of hungry talents looking to make their names known in the first half of this 12-fight event.

UFC Fight Night: Neil Magny vs. Carlos Prates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Neil Magny?<\/strong>

Magny\u00a0has become a bit of a flat fighter. Like, it seems as if competition has effectively caught up with him. One great thing about him is his cardio, and that is something we want to highlight as a potential catalyst for an upset, if Magny uses his cardio in the right way, wrestling, grinding against the cage, andneutralize the kickboxing, we are going to see a chunky upset. However, that is where the good news for Magny effectively ends.

This fight goes for 5 rounds. That caters to Magny\u2019s outstanding cardio, and he needs to use it because if he is complacent in trading shots and taking his time with Prates, he will lose as his rival is more than comfortable enough to land dangerous Muay Thai combinations all day long.

Why Bet on Carlos Prates?<\/strong>

Prates\u00a0seemingly have come out of nowhere, and after three straight wins, he has a Main Event spot. We love this kind of story for a fighter, but we cannot help but feel a tiny bit of concern.

Prates has significant power in everything he throws, and it\u2019s kind of a casual power, one where he doesn\u2019t necessarily throw hard, or load up. He just lets his hands go and his natural power does all the work, and Magny is not evasive enough on the feet to deal with that. He is not a boxer or a kickboxer, hedoesn\u2019t have the footwork or movement to mitigate damage, he is okay at getting into a clinch and stifling the attacks, but a clinch position against a Muay Thai fighter.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Neil Magny vs. Carlos Prates <\/strong>

On the feet, Magny stands near zero chance against Prates, and the thing that we want to point out here is the leg kick potential of the latter. Neil has horrific leg kick defense, his legs are there to be kicked, and they have become a huge, huge weakness for Magny.

There is only way to deal with Prates, wrestle or cuddle him against the fence for the five rounds, making this a boring fight but a much more winnable one for Magny, but we believe he won’t be able to do so here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Ricky Turcios vs. Benardo Sopaj<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Ricky Turcios?<\/strong>

Turcios\u00a0is something special, hedoesn\u2019t exactly have the strong MMA fundamentals most fighters have, but he somehow made it this far in his UFC career.

He is weird, wonky, a bit of a funky fighter, and someone who is tremendously hard to get a read on. We feel like he can strike fairly well butit\u2019s so unorthodox that you don\u2019t know if they were intended to be effective. Still, on the plus side, he does throw attacks in the general direction of his opponent and they often land, but we justdon\u2019t like that he can\u2019t throw anything that looks at least normal.

On the ground, he can be rather tricky to control, or to reverse, because he\u2019s so scrappy and so quick at throwing damage and moving position that it doesn\u2019t give his opponent enough time to settle.

Why Bet on Benardo Sopaj?<\/strong>

Sopaj\u00a0looked really good in his debut against Oliveira. He proved to us that he can fight through a war, and even if he does not come out on top, makes it hell for his opponents, and we love that about any fighter.

Sopaj is very well-rounded, he\u2019s at least a lot cleaner on the feet than Turcios is, and whilst he is at a sizeable reach disadvantage, we feel as though he will be able to find the perfect timing to split the attacks of Turcios, and even maybe get a takedown to make that round look a smidge better for him because Turcios\u2019 takedown defense is not exactly existent.

In fact, we would argue that wrestling will be the main thing that Sopaj will do. We expect him to get those takedowns because they were so effective when Raul Rosas Jr did them, and Rosas Jr. is someone whose wrestling comes in bunches but with a bit of a roughness in between.

As long as Sopaj is able to at least throw out volume and activity with the takedowns, we expect Turcios to struggle in getting to an advantageous position.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Ricky Turcios vs. Benardo Sopaj <\/strong>

We think the best asset of Turcios that could help him a whole lot is his chaos, his unorthodox attacks are ridiculously hard to prepare for, and that will always be something that will help him succeed in his fights. However, if Sopaj manages to find calm within that chaos, we struggle to see Turcios pull ahead in the scorecards or statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Gerald Meerschaert vs. Reinier de Ridder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Gerald Meerschaert?<\/strong>

Meerschaert\u00a0is a very one-trick pony, and that\u2019s his BJJ. He is unbelievably good on the ground, and we can\u2019t help but think that he\u2019s going to rely on that skill set to win.

Now, we must point out with some mild concern that De Ridder is going to look for a sloppy takedown that will possibly lead to a guillotine attempt from GM3, as he gets caught in that position sometimes.

Why Bet on Reinier de Ridder?<\/strong>

De Ridder has built a career on his submission capabilities, Even if he has a rather one-dimensional skill set similar to GM3, we believe that he is a lot more aggressive and well-rounded on the ground.

He is also a much longer fighter so he will have no issue in positioning himself in a high post from which punches can rain down.

However, with that said, if anyone is comfortable on the ground, comfortable losing until he decides to win somehow, it\u2019s GM3. That is more than enough for us to be slightly concerned about the debut of one of the biggest signings in recent years.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Gerald Meerschaert vs. Reinier de Ridder <\/strong>

De Ridder is not to be messed with, we cannot see any clear way for GM3 to win this fight outside of a submission on the ground. However, that\u2019s precisely where Reinier has done his best work, so we genuinely don\u2019t know if Meerschaert will be able to pull off a submission win as he did in the past two fights, or if he will drown in the astronomical pressure and pace that his rival is so damn great at.

We expect De Ridder to absolutely destroy GM3 for as long as he is in top control. That guillotine is truly the only primary danger for De Ridder, and we can almost guarantee thatit will be locked in the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Luana Pinheiro?<\/strong>

During her winning streak, Pinheiro was a bit of a dangerous force on the ground.It was clear that she had a preference in where the fight took place, and did whatever she needed to do to get the fight to the ground so that she could implement her grappling.

However, we are quite unimpressed by her wins. Her only clean one was against Sam Hughes, and that\u2019s not exactly a great win, that\u2019s like tutorial levels.

Pinheiro is very one-dimensional. Her striking is pretty concerning but we suppose it’s fine cause her ground game is relatively good.

Now, the relatively good news for her is that her Judo throws are going to be in full play because Robertson likes to look for takedowns in a traditional way. Whether it’s body locks or hip attacks, the perfect counter to a lot of that is a hip toss and Pinheiro can do those really well.

Why Bet on Gillian Robertson?<\/strong>

Robertson\u00a0has been a dog when it comes to fights, and we don\u2019t even know if we’re using that term correctly. However, whenever she fights, she is able to pull through serious adversity and get a win through submissions. She is a girl-boss on the ground and we think that\u2019s what invites the most intrigue about this fight.

The recipe here is to control the clinch because that position is exactly where Pinheiro gets her takedowns from. As long as Robertson is aware of the setups, she will remain in full control of her ability to get that takedown the way she wants, instead of having to battle for a position on the ground after getting hip-thrown.

The other thing that has really stood out to us in terms of Robertson’s evolution as a fighter is the fact that she’s more comfortable throwing strikes on the ground. Her ground and pound against Waterson-Gomez was incredible, and it could very well be a massive key in defeating or even finishing Pinheiro.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson <\/strong>

Both fighters’ grappling is what makes this fight rather interesting because Robertson is an absolute OG when it comes to wrestling and BJJ. She is fantastic on the ground and we can\u2019t wait to see how her evolution as a fighter is going to look when Luana takes this fight to the ground.

We got Robertson winning this one. She has become such a remarkable fighter that we can\u2019t wait to see the changes and improvements she\u2019s made in this camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Du\u0161ko Todorovi\u0107<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Mansur Abdul-Malik?<\/strong>

Abdul-Malik\u00a0is a first-round fighter. There is no clear way for us to say how good he will be in the second or third round despite the fact that he won his DWCS fight in the second round. One fight is not enough of a sample size to feel comfortable about his stamina.

Abdul-Malik is a ferocious finisher, he has power in his hands that is more than enough to touch the chin of Todorovic, someone who is historically very chinny.

Outside of Abdul-Malik\u2019s heavy hands and incredible ferocity early in the fight, he is still a rather big unknown.

Why Bet on Du\u0161ko Todorovi\u0107?<\/strong>

Todorovic\u00a0is coming off a knee injury just a little over a year ago, and we are very hypercritical of knee injuries. We believe they are career-defining injuries and we cannot imagine him coming into this fight feeling fully okay.

First, Todorovic is a kicker who often uses a lot of footwork and movement to keep at kicking range, so the more Adbul-Malik pressures, the more we are likely to see him just be on the retreat. That alone is a concern even from a judging point of view as they score aggression favourably.

We don\u2019t think Abdul-Malik throws many leg kicks, but if he were to, it would only damage Todorovics\u2019 leg even more. Still, it is hard to know much about Mansur outside of his fantastic punching power and incredible aggression, and honestly, we think that\u2019s enough for him to reach the chin of Todorovic and make it hell for him.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Du\u0161ko Todorovi\u0107 <\/strong>

Abdul-Maliks style of throwing bombs and moving forward is pretty much perfect when fighting Todorovic, as that has been a bit of his weakness since his style is rather kick-heavy.It\u2019s hard to kick off the back foot on retreat.

If Todorovic survives the first round, we expect Abdul-Malik to slow down and then we could see a potential upset coming, but we are heavily leaning towards the latter just finding that sledgehammer early in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs. Denise Gomes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Karolina Kowalkiewicz?<\/strong>

Kowalkiewicz\u00a0had a brief amount of success when she came back to full-time fighting not too long ago, and she maintained a streak for a fair bit. However, all of that momentum came crashing down when she lost to Lucindo.

Karolina is a well-rounded fighter who is fairly capable wherever the fight takes place, but we think she\u2019s biting more than she can chew with a fight against a powerhouse like Gomes.

Kowalkiewicz is, thankfully, a relatively intelligent fighter. If she needs to wrestle, she will, and we suspect that is going to be her primary way to win this fight because Gomes doesn\u2019t have the best takedown defense.

Why Bet on Denise Gomes?<\/strong>

Gomes\u00a0has had relatively strong performances in her career, with her KO win over Jauregui being her biggest by far. We cannot understate how much her power can change the momentum of a fight.

However, as with any power puncher, there\u2019s a weakness, and that weakness is her grappling and takedown defense. We can\u2019t help but think that she will be tested in that department because Kowalkiewicz isn\u2019t stupid enough to not wrestle if she\u2019s losing on the feet.

We think Gomes is going to be able to at least stuff a few of Kowalkiewicz’s takedowns. Especially, if they are desperation shots. She managed to stuff 20 or so takedowns from Moura, wecan\u2019t see how she can\u2019t do the same against someone like Kowalkiewicz who might feel the power on the feet and shoot sloppily.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs. Denise Gomes <\/strong>

Kowalkiewicz will have to take this fight to the ground to win because we don\u2019t think she will fare too well against someone younger and more explosive.

We can\u2019t help but think Gomes\u2019 more significant and powerful singular shots will make Kowalkiewicz a bit more hesitant in throwing anything back. She already has the perfect counter, her power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
