Main Event: Matheus Nicolau vs. Alex Perez
In the spotlight, we have Matheus Nicolau facing Alex Perez, who steps in as a short notice replacement. Nicolau, known for his cerebral fighting style and movement, is expected to use well-timed counter-strikes and clinch engagements. Perez, tough and gutsy, might struggle against Nicolau’s cautious approach. Nicolau is the favorite at -180, with expectations for a decision win.
Co-Main Event: Ryan Span vs. Bogdan Guskov
Ryan Span looks to rebound from a tough loss against Anthony Smith by facing Bogdan Guskov. Span’s power and experience make him the favorite at -205, with a predicted knockout victory as Guskov’s aggressive style might leave him vulnerable to Span’s precise strikes.
Maheshate Hayisaer vs. Gabriel Benitez
Gabriel Benitez faces Maheshate in what could be a striking clinic. Despite Benitez being the underdog at +170, his superior technique and experience might lead him to an upset victory. This fight is expected to be dynamic, with both fighters having a solid stand-up game.
Ivana Petrovic vs. Na liang
Ivana Petrovic is highly favored (-550) against Na liang, who struggles with fight IQ and technical skills. Petrovic’s all-around superior skills make her a strong candidate for a finish, either by knockout or submission.
Katlin Souza vs. Marink Mann
Katlin Souza’s well-rounded skills should see her dominate Marink Mann, who hasn’t shown much promise in her UFC tenure. Souza is favored at -325 to win what looks to be a decision based on superior striking and grappling.
Don’tale Mae vs. Caio Machado
In a heavyweight clash, Dantel Mae is slightly the underdog (+109) against Kyo Masado. Mae’s physicality and ability to control the pace make him a good pick for an upset in what could be a grinding decision victory.
Austin Hubbard vs. Michal Figlak
Austin Hubbard is expected to outclass Michal with superior takedown defense and striking. As an underdog (+133), Hubbard’s experience and conditioning could lead him to a decision victory in a fight where he should arguably be the favorite.
Victor Henry vs. Rani Yaya
Victor Henry is set to face the veteran Rani Yaya. With significant advantages in striking and agility, Henry is a heavy favorite (-510). The fight could end in a knockout, capitalizing on Yaya’s diminishing pace and one-dimensional approach.
David Onama vs. Jonathan Pierce
David Onama’s knockout power will be tested against Jonathan Pierce’s wrestling. Onama (+150), with improved takedown defense, could score a knockout in what promises to be a fiery match.
Uros Medichvs. Tim Means
In a closely contested match, Uros Medic’s speed and striking might narrowly edge out veteran Tim Means. Despite being the underdog (+270), Means’s toughness makes this a risky bet for Medic backers at -320.
Jhonata Diniz vs. Austen Lane
Jhonata Diniz is expected to showcase his superior kickboxing skills against Austin Lane. Diniz’s ability to capitalize on Lane’s recklessness could lead to a quick knockout, making him a solid favorite (-225).
Karine Silva vs. Ariana Lipski
Karine Silva, with her aggressive grappling and striking, is poised to continue her ascent against Ariana Lipski. Silva (-155) should dominate, potentially securing a submission victory against the durable but outmatched Lipski.
