UFC Fight Night: Reiner de Ridder vs. Brendan Allen
Why Bet on Reiner de Ridder?
RDR is coming off a series of impressive victories, including his recent win against Robert Whittaker. One strategy we’ve noticed is RDR’s use of knees up the middle, which significantly drained Whittaker’s cardio, depleting his energy throughout the fight. If RDR can apply this same tactic against Allen, he is likely to emerge victorious.
RDR presents a tough challenge for Allen, even if the fight goes to the ground. RDR excels in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; he has an aggressive guard game and actively seeks submissions using a wide variety of techniques.
¿Por qué apostar por Brendan Allen?
Brendan Allen is stepping in as a replacement fighter because Hernandez is unavailable. While Allen has had some time to prepare, it’s not as extensive as RDR’s preparation, which raises questions about his cardio for a potential five-round battle. RDR is known for his unusual fighting pace, which can be challenging over the long haul.
If Allen can effectively implement his wrestling, he could turn the fight in his favor and possibly secure a comfortable decision victory. The key to this matchup is to make it as uneventful as possible for RDR. Allen needs to limit RDR’s striking by pinning him against the cage before taking the fight to the ground. However, there’s little margin for error because RDR has the ability to swiftly turn the tide and find itself in a more advantageous position.
Final Betting Analysis: Reiner de Ridder vs. Brendan Allen
RDR’s chin is a mild concern because, while Allen is not a Golden Glove boxing champion, he still possesses middleweight power that could quickly shift the momentum of the fight. However, he doesn’t typically rely on his boxing skills.
It’s important to note that RDR has a taller frame than Allen. If Allen attempts a takedown by shooting for the waist, he will be vulnerable to RDR’s knees. Additionally, if Allen chooses to engage RDR on the feet at range before going for a takedown, he will have to deal with RDR’s slightly longer reach. RDR, who employs a Dutch kickboxing style, will benefit from keeping Allen at a distance using jabs and kicks.
UFC Fight Night: Kevin Holland vs. Mike Malott
¿Por qué apostar por Kevin Holland?
Kevin Holland has fought 26 times in the last seven years, which is an impressively high number. What’s notable is that he has consistently faced top-tier talent, and this matchup against Mike Mallot is no different. One of Holland’s main issues is that he seems to take few breaks and struggles to learn new techniques or improve his skill set. It’s almost as if he is content being an average fighter. However, his height and reach give him the ability to execute impressive techniques. In this fight, his reach advantage should not be underestimated, especially since he excels at striking from a distance.
¿Por qué apostar por Mike Malott?
Mike Malott comes into this fight on the heels of back-to-back victories over Radtke and Giles. One of the standout aspects of Malott’s recent performances has been his effective use of damaging leg kicks, which have been instrumental in neutralizing his opponents. Malott’s leg kicks could play a significant role in this match, particularly since Holland has relatively thin legs; this could diminish Holland’s striking power. However, if Holland effectively counters those leg kicks with straight punches, he may negate Malott’s main road to success on the feet.
Ultimately, while Malott has decent boxing skills, we believe his primary route to victory lies in his wrestling. He needs to incorporate wrestling into his strategy to secure a win against Holland because if Holland is allowed to strike at range, he will likely succeed.
Final Betting Analysis: Kevin Holland vs. Mike Malott
The biggest concern for Holland in this matchup is Malott’s wrestling ability. We expect Holland to perform well on the feet but struggle on the ground, as Malott has exceptional top control and the capacity to grind down his opponents over time. While Holland is competent on the ground and possesses solid Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) skills, a good wrestler typically has the upper hand over a great BJJ fighter. This dynamic defines the essence of their upcoming fight.
UFC Fight Night: Marlon Vera vs. Aiemann Zahabi
¿Por qué apostar por Marlon Vera?
Marlon Vera is entering this fight after suffering back-to-back decision losses against Sean O’Malley and Deiveson Figueiredo, both of whom are tough opponents. It’s clear that when Vera cannot control the pace of the fight or fend off his opponent effectively, he falls significantly on the scorecards. This pattern has emerged repeatedly throughout his career. While Vera can unleash powerful attacks, he does so inconsistently and often at a pace that doesn’t secure victories in close matches.
Although Vera tends to start slowly, his power and the speed of his strikes may compensate for that, allowing him to steal rounds despite a potential lack of volume early on.
¿Por qué apostar por Aiemann Zahabi?
Zahabi will need to adopt a tactical approach against Vera, as it’s unlikely he can overwhelm Vera with striking power. We believe that Zahabi will start cautiously, using jabs and feints to set up more significant strikes, especially since Vera is likely to be a bit tentative as well.
What stands out about Zahabi is his ability to adjust his defense after being hit. It is rare to see someone respond so effectively to an opponent’s strikes. Instead of relying on a standard guard, Zahabi modifies his arm positioning, movement, and distance to avoid repeated hits.
While his striking power and technique are relatively average, it’s his timing and accuracy that make a significant impact, accumulating damage over time and making his performance visually impressive.
Final Betting Analysis: Marlon Vera vs. Aiemann Zahabi
Vera’s striking is fundamentally sound, with well-timed kicks and powerful punches, but there isn’t anything particularly tricky about his style that could catch Zahabi off guard. These are strikes that Zahabi and his renowned corner can prepare for.
We aren’t dismissing Vera entirely, as he has the experience and power to make this a challenging fight for Zahabi. However, in terms of preparation and game planning, we view Zahabi as a top-tier talent, and we believe that will ultimately lead him to victory in a hard-fought contest.
UFC Fight Night: Manon Fiorot vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
¿Por qué apostar por Manon Fiorot?
Fiorot is coming off a closely contested fight against Schevchenko, which she unfortunately lost. However, she gained invaluable experience during those 25 minutes. It’s common for fighters to show significant improvement after facing a champion, and considering Fiorot was already at a championship level, we can expect to see her enhancements in this matchup. The key statistic that stands out is Fiorot’s takedown defense; she is nearly impossible to take down, which is typically Jasudavicius’ main path to victory. Fiorot is adept at dealing damage from all striking ranges, whether in the clinch with knees to the body and elbows to the head, or at boxing range, where she is precise with her combinations and effective at setting up her attacks with her outstanding jab.
¿Por qué apostar por Jasmine Jasudavicius?
Jasudavicius has consistently overwhelmed her opponents with aggressive wrestling and a high pace of activity on the ground.
However, it’s important to note that her best chance to win relies on taking the fight to the ground. We anticipate that Jasudavicius will initiate the action, needing to advance quickly to secure a wrestling position. When she struggles to implement her wrestling, she often falls behind in striking exchanges. While she is gritty and capable of inflicting damage on the feet, her striking isn’t as refined as Fiorot’s
Final Betting Analysis: Manon Fiorot vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
Fiorot presents a challenge for anyone she faces, and Jasudavicius will experience that challenge firsthand as she struggles to bring the fight to the ground. We expect Fiorot to focus on keeping the fight standing and at boxing range, where she can effectively outstrike Jasudavicius while maneuvering around the Octagon and avoiding any grappling situation.
UFC Fight Night: Cody Gibson vs. Aoriqileng
¿Por qué apostar por Cody Gibson?
Cody Gibson is 38 years old and lacks the momentum in his career to justify being on the main card; honestly, this could have easily been an opening fight. Gibson is a grinder who generally tries to overwhelm opponents with pressure. However, he is somewhat lacking in skill across the board and is only scrappy enough to remain competitive.
¿Por qué apostar por Aoriqileng?
Aoriqileng is certainly more aggressive than his opponent. He presses forward with a threatening presence and appears to possess greater finishing ability than Gibson. If he can cut off the cage and target Gibson’s legs, his aggression will likely increase as the fight progresses. We anticipate Aoriqileng will inflict the most damage compared to both fighters.
Final Betting Analysis: Cody Gibson vs. Aoriqileng
Gibson is up against a younger opponent who fights similarly but has solid punching power to compensate. Therefore, we believe Aoriqileng will land more significant strikes and emerge as the winner once this uninspiring fight concludes.
UFC Fight Night: Kyle Nelson vs. Matt Frevola
¿Por qué apostar por Kyle Nelson?
Nelson is coming off a tough knockout loss to Steve Garcia, where he was caught with his chin exposed, feeling the full force of Garcia’s power. Matt Frevola possesses similar knockout ability; his threat in the first round is substantial. We expect Nelson to adopt a more defensive approach during the initial round due to this risk.
The main concern with Nelson is his striking defense, which has often left him vulnerable to being outstruck in several of his fights. This is a concerning statistic when facing someone like Frevola, who is known for his aggressive style and is ready to take risks right from the start.
¿Por qué apostar por Matt Frevola?
Frevola is likely to set a chaotic pace; he’s nicknamed “Steamrolla” for good reason. While he may have lost some momentum over his career, his potential for first-round finishes remains impressive. Frevola is a heavy-hitting fighter who marches forward, swinging for the fences without hesitating. If he doesn’t land those strikes, he can be outstruck, but that usually happens against more skilled strikers, which we believe Kyle Nelson is not.
Final Betting Analysis: Kyle Nelson vs. Matt Frevola
If Nelson can wrestle Frevola to the ground and control him, his chances of winning will greatly increase. However, he runs the risk of encountering Frevola’s powerful punches, which are always dangerous. Nelson may appear tactical and prepared when the fight begins, but once he gets hit, he tends to crumble quickly—an alarming trait.
Expect an all-out display of violence and a rapid pace from Frevola as he looks to find Nelson’s chin and raise his hands in victory in front of a somewhat disappointed Canadian crowd.
UFC Fight Night: Charles Jourdain vs. Davey Grant
¿Por qué apostar por Charles Jourdain?
Charles Jourdain is a highly dynamic fighter capable of excelling in various positions and styles. As a well-rounded athlete, he has demonstrated impressive skills across the board. In grappling and wrestling, Jourdain holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). While he hasn’t showcased his grappling as much compared to his striking, he is a formidable submission artist when he chooses to be. However, we expect this matchup to focus less on grappling, especially since Grant has primarily relied on BJJ before transitioning to striking.
¿Por qué apostar por Davey Grant?
Davey Grant is a tough opponent for anyone in the octagon. He tends to engage aggressively, often diving into exchanges with powerful strikes. That said, he does sometimes expose himself to danger. We believe Grant will feel the pressure against Jourdain, as Jourdain’s diverse arsenal of skills poses a significant challenge. Given the notable age difference, we expect Jourdain to perform better as the round passes.
While Grant could secure a victory if his leg kicks successfully disrupt Jourdain’s speed and agility, we find it hard to believe that Grant can win if his leg kicks don’t land effectively.
Final Betting Analysis: Charles Jourdain vs. Davey Grant
Grant is one of the more reliable veterans in the sport and can be a nightmare for opponents, especially when he effectively utilizes his leg kicks, which are a devastating weapon. Jourdain, on the other hand, has excellent counters, including rapid and precise punches. Nonetheless, he remains somewhat vulnerable to leg kicks, so we want to emphasize that the chance of an upset is significant if Grant can attack those legs actively from the start.
Overall, we believe there is a greater likelihood of Jourdain winning compared to Grant finding an upset, and we are leaning toward backing Jourdain in this matchup.
UFC Fight Night: Bruno Silva vs. Hyun Sung Park
¿Por qué apostar por Bruno Silva?
Bruno Silva is coming off back-to-back knockout losses against elite strikers Joshua Van and Manel Kape. While he’s not facing another elite-level striker this time, he is up against a well-rounded fighter in Hyun Sung Park, who is strong in various aspects of the game. Silva’s best chance for victory lies in utilizing his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and focusing on wrestling to control Park on the ground. Park has shown weaknesses in his takedown defense, so we expect Silva to attempt takedowns early on, provided he avoids the striking from Park, particularly the attacks coming from the middle. Given Park’s height advantage, it might be a bit easier for Silva to get into takedown positions.
¿Por qué apostar en Hyun Sung Park?
Hyun Sung Park is an intriguing fighter with a background as a former winner on Road to UFC, which adds an interesting dynamic to his career. However, he tends to struggle against specialists. While Park can compete effectively on the feet and even outwrestle some opponents through sheer determination, he has faltered against fighters who have mastered specific styles, as seen in his match against Tatsuro Taira.
Concerns about his ground game arise, particularly since we anticipate Silva will dictate the pace on the ground. However, if the fight stays standing, Park possesses all the necessary striking skills to succeed against a shorter opponent. He can use effective knees, boxing, and teep kicks, but he must keep the fight upright to avoid the risk of a submission loss.
Final Betting Analysis: Bruno Silva vs. Hyun Sung Park
Park’s height advantage may provide him with better balance and footwork, which raises our interest in the type of takedown Silva will attempt against the taller fighter. Park has demonstrated an ability to vary his striking targets, often focusing on body shots, which could play a significant role this weekend. Given Silva’s shorter stature and his tendency to level change, he may expose himself to body strikes as he goes in for takedowns.
There exists a high chance for Park to secure a knockout victory, just as Silva has a fair opportunity to earn a submission win. This matchup promises to be a clash of styles that could become quite chaotic, but we are leaning towards a bet on Park.
UFC Fight Night: Danny Barlow vs. Djorden Santos
¿Por qué apostar por Danny Barlow?
Danny Barlow is stepping up to the Middleweight division after achieving some success in the Welterweight class. It will be interesting to see how he performs as a Middleweight, as he certainly has the physical attributes for it. Barlow holds a significant advantage in both reach and height over Djorden Santos, and we believe that his boxing will be his main weapon in this matchup.
However, Barlow’s primary concern is to avoid engaging in a brawl with Santos, who possesses considerable knockout power due to his natural ability to compete at Middleweight. Since Barlow is moving up in weight, he may not be as accustomed to absorbing strikes from fighters in this division, particularly coming off a knockout loss to Sam Patterson.
Bawlow is expected to enter the fight with improved defensive movements and a higher guard, but it remains to be seen how these adjustments will affect his ability to deliver sneaky strikes.
¿Por qué apostar por Djorden Santos?
Djorden Santos is relatively new to the UFC, and he recently suffered a tough loss to Ozzy Diaz, who many would consider an easier opponent to defeat. Santos has had a somewhat erratic record leading up to this fight, with lengthy breaks between bouts. One of his main strengths is his quick jab, which could pose significant challenges for Barlow in terms of timing and countering due to Santos’s rapid-fire approach.
Additionally, Santos’s combination of a quick jab and effective leg kicks could create difficulties for Barlow, especially in the initial rounds. If Santos targets Barlow’s legs early on, it could hinder Barlow’s performance as the fight progresses.
Final Betting Analysis: Danny Barlow vs. Djorden Santos
This matchup features two powerful strikers, but the reach disadvantage for Santos is a notable concern. We believe that Barlow’s lightning-fast left hook could trouble Santos. In the long run, this advantage may help Barlow sway the judges in his favor—unless he can secure a knockout in the third round.
UFC Fight Night: Kyle Prepolec vs. Drew Dober
¿Por qué apostar por Kyle Prepolec?
Prepolec is coming off a devastating loss against Benoit Saint-Denis in his return to the UFC. In that fight, he showed little that could threaten Saint-Denis.
Transitioning from facing Saint-Denis to fighting Drew Dober is a challenging shift, as these two fighters have polar opposite styles, both of which are dangerous to face.
¿Por qué apostar por Drew Dober?
Dober, on the other hand, is straightforward to analyze. His skill set is simple: throw hard, throw heavy, and throw often. He resembles Justin Gaethje in some ways but lacks the same chin and durability. Dober is always willing to engage and let his hands fly, regardless of the consequences. This aggressive style makes him a dangerous matchup for Prepolec, who is still seeking his first UFC win.
Final Betting Analysis: Kyle Prepolec vs. Drew Dober
Prepolec would need to take this fight to the ground, but even then, it’s difficult to gauge his takedown abilities. Dober’s style is simplistic yet effective, and we believe he will likely overpower Prepolec. There might be a few moments where Prepolec attempts to wrestle to avoid Dober’s striking, but Dober could counter with a sprawl-and-brawl approach, continuing to dominate the fight.
UFC Fight Night: Stephanie Luciano vs. Ravena Oliveira
¿Por qué apostar por Stephanie Luciano?
Luciano is coming off a very competitive fight against Sam Hughes. Although she lost, she left everything in the cage that night, demonstrating that she belongs in the UFC. Luciano is a grinder; no matter the position she’s in, she aims to deal damage, which is a fantastic quality to see in a fighter. However, this high pace can be exhausting for her since she’s typically more of a tactical fighter rather than someone who fights at a high volume.
Watch for her combinations and teeps, as she excels at throwing them out quickly. One issue with Luciano is that she tends to keep her hands low, leaving her exposed to opponents who can respond with intensity.
¿Por qué apostar por Ravena Oliveira?
At this moment, Oliveira is more of a filler fighter. She is coming off a loss against Lisboa and did not perform well in that match. While she had some decent takedowns, she ultimately lost the fight.
For Oliveira to win this matchup, takedowns will be crucial. If she can take Luciano down and neutralize her striking advantage, she stands a chance. However, this will be a significant challenge.
Final Betting Analysis: Stephanie Luciano vs. Ravena Oliveira
It’s unclear if Oliveira can successfully impose her will on Luciano. However, one thing is clear: Luciano is a great damage dealer, and we expect her to be the one pushing forward and controlling the fight against Oliveira. While Oliveira is well-rounded, we do not believe she can pose much of a threat to Luciano.
UFC Fight Night: Azamat Bekoev vs. Yousri Belgaroui
¿Por qué apostar por Azamat Bekoev?
Bekoev has been on a destructive path recently, securing back-to-back victories over Ryan Loder and Zach Reese—two decent fighters with poor striking defense. This time, however, Bekoev faces a highly talented Glory kickboxer in Belgaroui, which is expected to be a more significant challenge.
Bekoev fights with his chin down and relies on a high volume of heavy punches. His fighting style is primarily boxing, characterized by considerable knockout power. He isn’t afraid to engage directly and inflict damage, and his best defense is his toughness and relentless offense. While we doubt Bekoev will alter his approach for this fight—sticking to the adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”—he must be cautious of Belgaroui’s technical skills. If Bekoev cannot finish Belgaroui early, he risks tiring out and becoming vulnerable to solid strikes in the later rounds.
Why Bet on Yousri Belgaroui?
Belgaroui is coming off a win in Dana White’s Contender Series last year against Iwasaki, where he performed impressively. He used his jab effectively, utilized his height to land knees in the clinch, and appeared to be a solid competitor.
We believe that Belgaroui will pose a lot of problems for Bekoev at range; however, we are uncertain how long the fight will remain at distance, given that Bekoev tends to close in quickly on his opponents. Belgaroui’s kickboxing background is intriguing, and even though he is the underdog in this matchup, he has the potential to capitalize on any chaotic moments during the fight.
Final Betting Analysis: Azamat Bekoev vs. Yousri Belgaroui
Bekoev’s all-offensive style has been key to his success, but it also leaves him open to counters. If Belgaroui can withstand Bekoev’s aggressive flurries, he might land effective counters that could back Bekoev off. If the fight devolves into a close-range exchange, Belgaroui could find himself at a disadvantage unless he can clinch Bekoev and land knee strikes. Regardless, this matchup promises to be an exciting contest, and we are leaning towards backing Bekoev for the win.
UFC Fight Night: Melissa Croden vs. Tainara Lisboa
Why Bet on Melissa Croden?
In terms of her skill set and performance in the cage, she has shown some promise, with a couple of notable wins and some intriguing losses.
She has gone the full 15 minutes against rising star Jacqeuline Cavalcanti and has secured victories against recognizable names like Katharina Lehner. Croden tends to be a grinder; she fights reasonably well on her feet but excels in the clinch, where she employs a strong Thai clinch technique along with pressure that can significantly drain her opponents’ stamina.
At a distance, she effectively uses her boxing skills and movement to evade her opponents, making it challenging for them to land effective counterattacks.
¿Por qué apostar por Tainara Lisboa?
Lisboa is a dangerous striker known for her powerful and aggressive fighting style. She maintains a stern and stoic stance, exuding strength as her hands remain high and her guard is always active. Lisboa aggressively pursues her opponents, delivering significant power with her strikes.
Although Lisboa may face a size disadvantage in this matchup, her striking power is not diminished. While Croden is expected to leverage her long-range attacks, such as jabs and teeps, to keep Lisboa at bay, Lisboa’s ability to string together combinations and exert pressure will likely enable her to take charge of the fight and score points as it progresses.
Final Betting Analysis: Melissa Croden vs. Tainara Lisboa
While Croden’s knees in the clinch could be effective against Lisboa, we anticipate Lisboa will build momentum after the first half of the opening round and begin to dominate the fight. Furthermore, if Lisboa successfully takes the fight to the ground—something she has demonstrated she can do—she is likely to win a decision, as Croden’s ground game is still somewhat underdeveloped in comparison.
