The UFC stays in the Apex in Las Vegas for a second weekend in a row, but it brings the veteran UFC fans an enjoyable fight card.

Our main event on the card features Roman Dolidze against Anthony Hernandez, a fight where the styles of both fighters may seem one-sided, but it’s also likely to be a ton of fun to watch unfold.

The co-main event brings Steve Erceg to the Bantamweight division to face off against Ode Osbourne in a clash that becomes a lot more interesting since Erceg is moving up a division.

Besides the fact that there are some banger fights in the main card fights, we do have to point out that the UFC placed a lot of fighters with a ton of experience in this 12 fights card, which is going to be fun for all UFC fans, may them be newcommers or veterans, as there is a lot of skill and experience on the table for this upcoming Fight Night.

UFC Fight Night: Roman Dolidze vs. Anthony Hernandez<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Roman Dolidze?<\/strong>

Dolidze\u00a0is a bit of a \u201cflash in the pan\u201d fighter in that there are moments where he looks confident and dominant, then there are moments in which we see him offer minimal resistance to his opponents and crumble.

In this particular fight, Dolidze likely needs to keep the fight standing to win because no matter how good his submission ability is on the ground, against a great high-pressure wrestler like Hernandez, there is nothing much to do.

Dolidze\u2019s boxing is powerful but also non-fundamental; he doesn\u2019t throw like a striker should, often using high output and high power to deal damage, but that leads to him looking a bit off balance and also highly counterable. While we highly doubt that Hernandez is going to survive that kind of striking if he chooses to engage with Dolidze, we just think that it\u2019s a bit of an inefficient way to fight.

Why Bet on Anthony Hernandez?<\/strong>

Hernandez\u00a0has looked like an unstoppable force in recent bouts, taking down his opponent multiple times and wearing them with ferocious ground and pound.

We do not think there will be any diversion from that game plan this weekend, because frankly, it\u2019s a perfect thing to do against someone like Dolidze, and we expect that we will see a near mirror image of each round these guys fight, with Dolidze on his back foot and Hernandez looking for those takedowns.

Final Betting Analysis: Roman Dolidze vs. Anthony Hernandez<\/strong>

We know how Dolidze can win this fight outside of a knockout punch or sequence on the feet.

Add to that the fact that these fights are taking place in the Apex, where the aggressive wrestler seems to thrive, since the smaller cage means less movement until the fighter is against the wall\/fence.

We don\u2019t like the idea of Hernandez standing and banging against Dolidze for more than 30 seconds each round because Dolidze can crack harder than Hernandez can.

So, Hernandez has and will likely get this fight to the ground, it\u2019s his bread and butter, and he has the cardio to drain Dolidze over those three plus rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Steve Erceg vs. Ode Osbourne<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Steve Erceg?<\/strong>

This fight\u2019s taking place at Bantamweight, and that can both be advantageous and disadvantageous because we might see Erceg look a bit bulkier and healthier on the scales, which is great for recovery from the weight cut. However, he is now facing someone who is naturally heavier than Erceg\u2019s previous opponents, and with that comes being hit a whole heap harder, and we know Erceg\u2019s chin is in a questionable state.

Erceg is very, very likely to look like a dominant fighter in this fight, especially if he wrestles and grapples, as Erceg\u2019s BJJ is fantastic and is likely to give Osbourne some trouble.

Erceg could be dangerous on the feet, but we think his game plan for his fight against Park would have been wrestle-focused, so we feel like he is no doubt going to stick to what he\u2019s worked on and just take Osbourne to the ground to find a choke.

Why Bet on Ode Osbourne?<\/strong>

Ode Osbourne struggles when it comes to wrestling; he gives up his grappling positions far too easily. His unique length and reach are great talking points, but he doesn\u2019t use them effectively. He has a decent jab and a good cross, but we can\u2019t see that being too much of a threat against someone like Erceg, who has experienced some serious battles in his career.

The reach of Osbourne could open up opportunities for a front headlock choke like a d\u2019arce or a guillotine, especially if Erceg starts to repeat his takedown attempts. Even then, we are not sure if that will land against a high-level fighter like Erceg, who is quick with his scrambles and positional movements.

Final Betting Analysis: Steve Erceg vs. Ode Osbourne<\/strong>

This fight leads to Erceg breaking his losing streak and getting back into the win column after facing three of the hardest fighters in the division. If he handles Osbourne on the floor like we expect him to, we believe that things will be back on track for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Iasmin Lucindo vs. Angela Hill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Iasmin Lucindo?<\/strong>

Lucindo no doubt presents some threat to Hill, whether it\u2019s her grappling and takedowns or her relatively quick kick-heavy striking. We expect Lucindo to look relatively good, but we are also cautious about her because we haven\u2019t seen a lot from her that stands out.

Lucindo\u2019s takedowns are going to be her primary way to win this fight, but Angela is good at instinctively digging the underhooks and reversing position; she is no rookie in that regard and seemingly has done just that in her last few fights effectively.

For Lucindo to win this, she needs to be an overwhelming force, but we just can\u2019t picture her doing that, as she seems to be more of a tactician on the feet than a bull in a china shop.

Why Bet on Angela Hill?<\/strong>

The one thing we love about Angela Hill is her striking. She is a Muay Thai-based striker who works incredibly well in the clinch but also at general kickboxing range, and the one thing that we expect to see from Hill here is the ability to fire back with more tenacity than Lucindo can ever dream of.

For every two strikes that Lucindo lands, Hill will land 5 or 6; you will see a huge divide in striking statistics as the rounds go by. Hill will likely land 80+ significant strikes during this bout, and that\u2019s because Lucindo is vulnerable on the feet, and because of her kick-heavy game, we expect Hill to counter with some dangerous flurries and combinations.

Final Betting Analysis: Iasmin Lucindo vs. Angela Hill <\/strong>

Lucindo is still young and has a lot to prove. However, when you put her up against a battle-tested veteran like Hill, who has shown the remarkable ability to meet fire with fire against the younger fighters of this division, you can\u2019t help but have some doubts about Lucindo\u2019s ability to pull this off.

One slight concern we have for Hill is Lucindo\u2019s body kicks; they are a massive tool and weapon that could slow down the pop on Hill\u2019s shots, and it wouldn\u2019t take much for Hill to be breathing heavily in the second and third rounds if Lucindo attacks the body exclusively, because Hill is vulnerable there. That said, we believe the young fighter will take the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Andre Fili vs. Christian Rodriguez<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Andre Fili?<\/strong>

Fili\u00a0is currently 12-11 in the UFC, which is not too great, but it also speaks volumes to the experience he has in the UFC and the quality of competition he has faced.

The common problem that Fili has faced in recent bouts is that he gives in to pressure far too easily, and this is not a great advantage against a methodical, high-pace fighter like Rodriguez.

When it comes to Fili\u2019s counter wrestling, it\u2019s reasonably good. Since he has a height advantage over Rodriguez, it\u2019s very advantageous because it negates a lot of takedowns that Rodriguez has in his pocket.

Fili should, for the most part, be okay with his takedown defense, but that does not mean he will not struggle with defending them, because often defending takedowns still translates to losing an advantageous position.

Why Bet on Christian Rodriguez?<\/strong>

Rodriguez\u00a0has always been a bettor\u2019s dream fighter. Many times, he has won as an underdog, and we all love him for it. However, this time around, he\u2019s a favourite and is facing a UFC veteran who has faced a whole plethora of styles throughout his career.

Rodriguez has two primary advantages in this fight: his high pace and his wrestling ability. He\u2019s always been more of a wrestler and a swarm-style fighter than anything else; nothing stands out to us with his striking.

Rodriguez fights at a reasonably high pace, he has shown the ability to look excellent in the second and third rounds despite the very high pace of the subsequent rounds and he is very likely to weaponize that kind of pace during this fight against Fili, even more since this fight is happening at the Apex so he can easily trap and corner Fili against the fence.

Final Betting Analysis: Andre Fili vs. Christian Rodriguez <\/strong>

Even if Fili uses Knee strikes comfortably as he tries to prevent the takedown, if Rodriguez eats those knees and still gets into a wrestling position, he should be able to drag the fight to the ground.

Once that happens, he will slowly wear Fili down with the pace he keeps pushing, making it easy for him to achieve a victory on the scorecards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Miles Johns vs. Jean Matsumoto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Miles Johns?<\/strong>

Johns has fought a whole list of really, really good Bantamweights before, and there is a discernible pattern here that we can see, and that\u2019s when the fight\u2019s at a pace in which Johns can play the tit for tat game; he\u2019s really good and strategic.

It\u2019s only when he\u2019s fighting someone who has both a big amount of volume and incredible cardio that we usually see John\u2019s fall apart a little bit. We genuinely think that as the fight goes on, we\u2019re going to see Matsumoto pull ahead more and more in the visuals.

Why Bet on Jean Matsumoto?<\/strong>

Matsumoto has been an exciting addition to the UFC because he brings the action to every one of his fights.

Jean Matsumoto is fantastic, throwing out quick and fluid combinations. He is one of the best fighters who strings together combinations in all the UFC.

The longer this fight stays standing, the more confidence Matsumoto will build, and you don\u2019t want to fight a confident striker. Left hooks are Matsumoto\u2019s best strike, and it\u2019s the most likely one to land as it\u2019s the final sequential shot in his standard combinations, so expect to see that hit over and over again.

Final Betting Analysis: Miles Johns vs. Jean Matsumoto<\/strong>

Now, the main thing we are likely to notice during this fight is that Johns will go for a handful of takedowns early, and he will be successful in getting the fight to the ground, trying to push Matsumoto to fight out of it with the potential depletion of his first-round cardio.

Johns has quite a clear way to win here and upset the odds, that\u2019s if his takedowns are successful, because really, you only need to win two rounds convincingly in a three-round fight.

Matsumoto\u2019s wrestling and takedown defense are incredible; he tested the limits of Katona (who has great balance), and for a kickboxer to look that good wrestling, or at least have the right technique to wrestle and grapple, makes us believe that Matsumoto will take the win over Johns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Eryk Anders vs. Christian Leroy Duncan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Eryk Anders?<\/strong>

Anders is likely nearing the end of his career at 38, especially after coming off two wins against older generation fighters, which isn\u2019t ideal.

He has always been a well-rounded fighter with decent power in his hands and a good variety in his kickboxing. However, we believe his strongest asset is his wrestling. He needs to rely on his wrestling skills to avoid the fierce boxing of CLD and to utilize his strengths effectively. As we often see with older fighters, they tend to wrestle more to protect themselves from taking hits, so we can expect to see a strong wrestling game plan from this veteran.

Why Bet on Christian Leroy Duncan?<\/strong>

CLD has a significant advantage in both height and reach, which will be very noticeable as long as the fight remains standing. He forces his opponents to engage at his preferred range, making it difficult for them to penetrate his jab and teep kicks. This gives CLD ample time to maneuver, feint, and land his strikes freely.

We can expect CLD to capitalize on his strengths by picking off Anders from a distance and gradually wearing him down until he succumbs to the accumulated damage, only if Anders cannot safely close the distance and take the fight to the mat.

Keep an eye on CLD\u2019s leg kicks; they will be crucial for his success in the second and third rounds. These kicks will slow Anders\u2019 mobility and diminish the explosiveness he needs to shoot for takedowns or land his combinations.

Final Betting Analysis: Eryk Anders vs. Christian Leroy Duncan <\/strong>

We know exactly what Anders has in mind when he fights this weekend, but we expect a lot of early pressure in the fight, perhaps an emphasis on trying to walk through CLD\u2019s strikes, trap him against the fence, and use it to aid him in getting the fight to the ground.

Either way, Anders is going to have a lot more success early on than later in the fight, where his cardio might fail him or where he might be too damaged to be effective.

CLD\u2019s takedown defense could be tested in this fight. We expect at least two takedowns from Anders, but with varying degrees of control time success, which will lead to CLD taking the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC Fight Night: Julius Walker vs. Raffael Cerqueira<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Julius Walker?<\/strong>

Walker is a very physically strong fighter. Against Menifield, he managed to hold him against the cage, and Menifield isn\u2019t a fighter with a small physique; he is big also, and to be able to smother him and make it a gruelling fight is impressive.

We expect a similar game plan from Walker in this bout, to slow down and cut the striking threat of Cerqueira. Cerqueira has power in his hands, and Walker has a horrific striking defense. He is still very much a rookie in this sport, and that much was obvious when he fought Menifield.

Walker\u2019s fighting style is quite rhythmic; he strikes and then goes for a takedown repeatedly. This overwhelming pace could wear down Cerqueira\u2019s stamina if Walker is unable to finish him off in the first round.

Why Bet on Raffael Cerqueira?<\/strong>

Cerqueira\u00a0is someone we struggle to believe has a decent chance in this fight outside of a stray punch. He gets pressured far too easily, and we know for a fact that Walker will be walking down Cerqueira, throwing punches, and going for level changes.

The main concern we have for Cerqueira is his inability to let his hands go because he remains defensive. This has been a problem for his short UFC career so far, having thrown only 23 total strikes in his two fights, he has shown barely anything worth talking about.

Final Betting Analysis: Julius Walker vs. Raffael Cerqueira<\/strong>

We think that in terms of his striking variance, Cerqueira can catch Walker off guard for as long as he can throw those strikes; his high kicks are niceto see. His boxing can be a bit dangerous, but all of that can (and will likely) be completely neutralised by a well-timed strike in which we normally see Cerqueira go from a fairly dangerous Light Heavyweight to a sacrificial lamb for us MMA fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
