UFC Fight Night: Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Petr Yan?<\/strong>

Yan\u00a0has been a solid competitor in the UFC, a top-tier talent, and a constant in every contender discussion. However, there is one thing that has always held him back, and that\u2019s heavy style wrestlers, and if Figueiredo has any advantage in this fight, it\u2019s in the wrestling and grappling department.

On the feet, Yan is going to have very little problem with Figgy, and you will notice that almost immediately during this fight because whilst Deiveson is well known for being an absolute warhorse on the feet, he can be a bit wild and singular with his strikes. It\u2019s all power and brutality.

The greatest counter for power is speed and timing, and that\u2019s what Yan has built his entire career on. He is a master at finding the timing and striking effectively whether on the back foot or as the aggressor.

Now, one major tool in the arsenal for Petr is the leg kicks. He doesn\u2019t use them often and is not a primary leg kicker by any means, but he often flips it out there early to soften up the target and reduce mobility.

Why Bet on Deiveson Figueiredo?<\/strong>

Figueiredo\u00a0has had massive success since moving up to 135, and he honestly has never looked so good. No massive weight cuts, doesnot look drained on the scale, he looks like he belongs at Bantamweight.

Now, the great news about him is that he has incredible power in his hands and is a physically strong specimen who could bully Yan if there were to be a wrestling situation. However, at a distance, we can\u2019t help but see Figueiredo be the slower fighter and out-volumed.

Deiveson is a massive orthodox striker. He generates all of his power in his side attacks and is going to be a dangerous opponent for Yan, as long as he is in his orthodox stance. His right-side attack is dangerous, especially his leg kicks and we can\u2019t help but think Petr will be playing a defensive game in the first two rounds.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo <\/strong>

Figueiredo defends leg kicks relatively well, but it can be a vulnerability due to his wide stance. Yan will use his leg kicks as a counter for his rival boxing attacks, and that comes with two mechanical purposes; One is to make Figueiredo hesitant to attack again, and the other is to destroy this mobility and force a stance switch.

Yan has always fought slowly in the first round,it\u2019s his \u201cread\u201d round, and if he can smack the legs of Figueiredo over and over, we\u2019ll likely see that pay off.

The longer this fight goes on, the better it is for Yan in our opinion, and that\u2019sexactly why Figueiredo will be a bit more patient this time. If he goes all out trying to find a finish early and Petr survives, then it\u2019s going to be a long night for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Xiaonan Yan vs. Tabatha Ricci<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Xiaonan Yan?<\/strong>

Yan\u00a0is coming off a decision loss against Weili Zhang, and honestly, we like that about her. She got to experience a five-round bout against one of the best athletes in the division, and whilst she looked a bit iffy here and there, it\u2019s a huge experience boost and something that will carry her for the remainder of her career.

Yan\u2019s wrestling and counter-wrestling have been improving bit by bit, and that\u2019s going to be massively important since Ricci is a fantastic grappler with strongJudo throws in her arsenal. So, it\u2019s not going to be a matter of defending the transition, but getting up from where she has fallen, that is shifting hips, posting, and exploding back up to the feet.

Why Bet on Tabatha Ricci?<\/strong>

Ricci\u00a0has been an interesting fighter to watch. Her grappling and wrestling are always going to be a major highlight of her skillset,it\u2019s her bread and butter, and historically, it has always been something that Yan has struggled with. However, with Yan working out of TAM (Team Alpha Male), is likely her grappling and wrestling defense improved substantially.

With that said, we know what to expect this weekend, with Ricci looking to close the distance, get into the clinch, and use her judo throws to get the fight to the ground. If Yan is unable to get the fight back to the feet, we have a strong feeling she\u2019s going to be stuck at the bottom whilst Ricci controls her from the top.

That\u2019s about as simple as this fight will go. It\u2019s a bit of a classic “grappler needs to grapple,” whilst their opponent needs toabsolutely avoid that.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Xiaonan Yan vs. Tabatha Ricci <\/strong>

Yan has all of the tools she needs in her belt, and while her performances have been rather funky, we think that she possesses more ways to win this fight than Ricci does.That\u2019s all that matters when fighting in front of your home crowd.

Yan is also a fair bit bigger than Ricci, and that size is going to be important in striking effectiveness as she can use her long attacks to keep her rival at a distance and move around the octagon, staying away from any grappling engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Kenan Song vs. Muslim Salikhov<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Kenan Song?<\/strong>

Song\u00a0is coming off a strong win over Ricky Glenn, and whilst it was not an entertaining fight, he fought as he does; Heavy hits with not a lot of volume.

Song will have a bit of a power advantage, but he is a very linear fighter. He strikes in a forward motion, never really shifting angles or being an elusive fighter. His entire career-long success has been dependent on him landing his power punches and using his wrestling strength to drag the fight to the ground when he needs to.

However, he can sometimes look lethargic in the octagon, being a bit slow or maybe too calm on the feet, and we can\u2019t see that kind of style being great against an explosive and quick Salikhov.

Why Bet on Muslim Salikhov?<\/strong>

Salikhov\u00a0is coming off a back-and-forth bout against Ponzinibbio, and while the fight was slow, it was a methodical show that may be a product of Muslim\u2019s recent knockout loss against Randy Brown. We want to focus on that, as age may be slowly taking its toll on his chin durability.

Salikhov is a fantastic kickboxer who, even at the age of 40, is very quick on his feet and has all those twitch-like reflexes.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Kenan Song vs. Muslim Salikhov <\/strong>

We believe Salikhov is far too technical and quick to fall for the forward aggression of Song. Still, we are going to see another knockout loss in his future if he isn\u2019t careful because that chin is practically done.

But after all is said and done, we expect Salikhov to just out-strike and out-technique Song in this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Cong Wang vs. Gabriella Fernandes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Cong Wang?<\/strong>

Wang\u00a0is a fantastic finisher with disgusting power in her hands, and it all seems from her background in kickboxing. She has fought killers in that world like Niamh Kinehan and Nili Block, and hell, she even has a win over Shevchenko. She is an exciting addition to the UFC and proved to us just a few months ago that she\u2019s here to stay.

Now, in typical UFC fashion, they are giving her an \u201ceasy\u201d fight, and we expect this to be a highly one-sided bout.

Fernandes is a few notches above her previous opponent, so we are technically getting a slight step up in competition. Still, it will likely remain as a complete bulldoze performance by Wang.

Why Bet on Gabriella Fernandes?<\/strong>

Anything can happen andwhilst we don\u2019t see a huge upset on the horizon this weekend, we want to be a bit cautious while jumping on the hype train for Wang.

Fernandes throws a lot of volume and is highly active on her feet, but if she is unable to let her hands go due to Wang’s early pressure and explosiveness, we will see her struggle a bit.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Cong Wang vs. Gabriella Fernandes <\/strong>

We will see Wang thrive in the early rounds as she is energized by the crowd, and that initial burst of activity will be overwhelming for Fernandes. If the latter survives, then sure, maybe she can cause a massive upset in the later rounds, but we don’t believe that will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Volkan Oezdemir vs. Carlos Ulberg<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Volkan Oezdemir?<\/strong>

Oezdemir\u00a0is coming off two strong wins against Guskov and Walker, and it\u2019s always been quite evident that he is a capable and well-rounded fighter.

Oezdemir\u2019s kickboxing has always been really good, but one thing we want to point out is his stoic pressure. He is comfortable marching forward, never moving off the firing lane, and only ensuring that he is pressuring his opponent while throwing some solid strikes.

He is standard with his kickboxing attack, throwing naked leg kicks or body kicks from both sides. While initiating his boxing he exclusively starts with his lead hand, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that, it has worked for him in the past.

Why Bet on Carlos Ulberg?<\/strong>

Ulberg\u00a0has had two cancellations recently. It was during that kerfuffle when there were many cancellations for UFC 303, and we bring this up because he\u2019s starving for a win.

With Carlos already being a slick striker with a lot of weapons in his arsenal, we can\u2019t imagine what a hungry version of him looks like.

Ulberg is going to have a speed advantage in this fight, he moves around a lot more than Oezdemir, but the big thing you\u2019ll notice is that the latter will still hold a power advantage as he hits so damn hard in the pocket. Carlos’ power is much more visceral in nature, speed, chaos, and natural strength. All of those things coalesce into his ability to knock people out.

Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Volkan Oezdemir vs. Carlos Ulberg <\/strong>

The concern is the big speed and athletic advantage that Ulberg has as he isn\u2019t likely to play the game of being pressured by Oezdemir. He will pounce forward with strong blitzes and excellent footwork to make tracking him down a difficult task, and if Volkan falls into his habit of being complacent on the feet and feeling too comfortable, we feel like he could get caught off guard.

If Ulberg shows defensive complacency, we can\u2019t help but see Oezdemir land something big on him, but we think that the speedy fighter will take the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Ozzy Diaz vs. Mingyang Zhang<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Ozzy Diaz?<\/strong>

Diaz\u00a0is honestly an interesting match-up for Zhang, and wedon\u2019t mean that in any positive way because, even if he has a lot of knockouts on his record, he has a horrific skillset and a terrible chin. All of these things point to Zhang finding his strikes early and making him stumble a bit.

Now, Ozzy has power, don\u2019t get us wrong. He comes down from heavyweight and has that heavyweight knockout power, but he has none of the technique that translates well into a light heavyweight setting at a high level. We are going to notice that during this fight, most likely.

Why Bet on Mingyang Zhang?<\/strong>

Zhang\u00a0has had massive moments in the cage, with back-to-back KO wins over Tukkos and Ribeiro, and while those two names mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, we have to acknowledge that he is a ferocious fighter who outstruck heavy hitters.

We believe the first round is going to be Zhang\u2019s most challenging,and perhaps the only one that really is relevant as we expect a quick finish. Still, we cannot comfortably say that Zhang is going to run through Diaz like butter because Ozzy still is a knockout machine pretty dangerous on the feet.

As long as Zhang is not firing off boxing combinations and power shots, Diaz will be the one to do it.

Final Betting Analysis:<\/strong><\/em> Ozzy Diaz vs. Mingyang Zhang<\/strong>

Our biggest concern for Diaz is his chin, as every time he gets hit, it freezes him up or he gets dropped. Neither of these things makes us hopeful that he will be a great competitor and opponent for a heavy-hitting fighter like Zhang.

Thisis going to be a short one, but we think Zhang will be the one to turn down the lights for his opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
