UFC Fight Night Main Card Picks
Omargadzhiev To Outlast Borralho in Prospect Battle
- Moneyline: Caio Borralho +105, Gadzhi Omargadzhiev -135
- Round Totals: Over 2½ (-115), Under 2½ (-115)
- Weight Class (Rounds): Middleweight (185 lbs) (3 Rounds)
A battle of Contender Series grads slightly favors the undefeated Dagestani: Gadzhi Omargadzhiev. True to stereotype, Omargadzhiev (13-0-0) is a prolific wrestler who should be able to use that to neutralize Caio Borralho’s all-around game.
Borralho (10-1-0) is a versed grappler in his own right but Omargadzhiev is just a bit better, a bit stronger, and a bit thicker. Bet online on Omargadzhiev to edge Borralho.
Pick: Gadzhi Omargadzhiev -135
Strikers’ Delight Pits Baeza and Fialho
- Moneyline: Yanan Wu +325, Mayra Bueno Silva -450
- Round Totals: Over 2½ -200, Under 2½ +160
- Weight Class (Rounds): Women’s Bantamweight (135 lbs) (3 Rounds)
Miguel Baeza is still one of the UFC’s more promising prospects, but he will need to fix the many holes in his game. His chin is not the best and he is too easy to hit: absorbing nearly five significant strikes per minute.
Andre Fialho had a rough debut against Michel Pereira, who is a tricky opponent to fight. But the Portuguese slugger hits hard and could hurt Baeza (10-2-0). Fialho (14-4-0) is a good underdog to back here at these online gambling odds.
Pick: Andre Fialho +145
Bueno Silva To Make Quick Work of Wu
- Moneyline: Yanan Wu +325, Mayra Bueno Silva -450
- Round Totals: Over 2½ -200, Under 2½ +160
- Weight Class (Rounds): Women’s Bantamweight (135 lbs) (3 Rounds)
Mayra Bueno Silva is the “lock” of the main card as she takes on Yanan Wu, who has proven that she is not fit for the UFC. Wu (12-4-0) is 1-3 in the promotion with her only win coming against Lauren Mueller, who hasn’t won a fight since 2018.
Bueno Silva (7-2-1) has proven herself to be a formidable grappler and a tough nut to crack. She survived three rounds with Manon Fiorot and submitted the submissions specialist, Gillian Robertson, in her UFC debut. Find a prop for Bueno Silva to win by sub or take a shot on this one to get finished.
Pick: Under 2½ (+160)
Sabatini Takes Laramie To School
- Moneyline: TJ Laramie +350, Pat Sabatini -500
- Round Totals: Over 2½ (-150), Under 2½ (+120)
- Weight Class (Rounds): Featherweight (145 lbs) (3 Rounds)
The UFC is feeding TJ Laramie, a Canadian prospect, to Pat Sabatini in what is the most lopsided fight of the main card. Laramie (12-4-0) is a solid wrestler but Sabatini (16-3-0) is much more experienced and should give the kid a “vet lesson” here.
Sabatini should be able to outgrapple Laramie here and there is a chance he gets him out there. Laramie is still green and prone to making mistakes, which Laramie will capitalize on. The under at plus-money could be the best UFC bets on this card.
Pick: Under 2½ (+120)
Last-Minute Shuffle Matches Strikers Lazzez and Loosa
- Moneyline: Ange Loosa +165, Mounir Lazzez -210
- Round Totals: Over 2½ (-180), Under 2½ (+150)
- Weight Class (Rounds): Welterweight (170 lbs) (3 Rounds)
Mounir Lazzez will look to recapture the promise he showed when he outclassed Abdul Razak Alhassan in his debut. He gets a good chance to do that as Ange Loosa will be coming in on short notice and could be depleted thanks to the weight cut.
Lazzez (10-2-0) should be able to pick Loosa (8-2-0) apart on their feet similar to what he did to Alhassan. We’re not crazy about his line but he is the rightful favorite here.
Pick: Mounir Lazzez -210
