Top 2 UFC Kansas City Parlay Picks (April 26)

1. Ikram Aliskerov vs. Andre Muniz: Aliskerov by KO/TKO or Submission (-300)

It’s very rare to hold a fighter in high regard based on his career losses, but Ikram Aliskerov would be the exception. To date, his lone pro-MMA defeats have been against the former middleweight champ, Robert Whittaker, and the current No.1 contender, Khamzat Chimaev. While he did get blasted into the shadow realm in both fights, outside of those elite competitors, he’s been flawless in competition, and both Warlley Alves and Phil Hawes have been victims of his brute force inside the UFC octagon to date.

Andre Muniz will be the more seasoned and experienced UFC fighter heading into this clash, but he’ll also be the older, slower man, whose six career losses to date have all been via knockout or submission. In addition, said losses to the likes of Paul Craig and Brendan Allen don’t exactly hold the same respect as Aliskerov’s past setbacks.

Bet This Pick: Aliskerov by KO/TKO or Submission (-300)

Aliskerov Gets the Job Done ITD

Of course, we aren’t backing Aliskerov over Muniz strictly based on their respective career results. Skill set matters too, but with no clear red flags around his ground game and jiu-jitsu defense, it’s a struggle to envision a clear path to victory for Muniz without some sort of flash knockout, and that’s a highly unlikely scenario.

Speaking of red flags, Muniz’s cardio, durability, and pacing throughout three-round bouts have been atrocious. A younger version of himself was much more fearful, but in recent times, it would seem that the finishing ability he was once known for has begun to dwindle. Against an opponent who has finished 12 of his 15 career wins by knockout or decision, we should fear for his chance of victory this weekend.

To no surprise, the UFC betting odds are extremely juiced on the side of Aliskerov, but given his ability to finish fights and Muniz’s horrid durability, backing the UFC prop bets for this fight to end inside the distance can boost our first parlay leg odds to around -300.

2. Randy Brown vs. Nicolas Dalby: Brown by KO/TKO or Decision (-200)

So, we’re still living off the hype of Nicolas Dalby cashing as an underdog in three consecutive fights in 2023? I hear you, I do, but it’s 2025, he’s 40 years old, and I really struggle to envision him replicating another year where he’s cashing bettors some insane plus-money numbers, especially when he’s faced with a level of opposition on Randy Brown’s level.

Don’t get me wrong, Dalby does an excellent job of disguising his striking offense during exchanges on the feet. He has credible wrestling/grappling, some weirdly strong cardio that allows him to come from behind in fights during the later rounds, and as a journeyman, he’s one of the most respectable at 170 lbs.

However, Brown is a sniper, and unlike many of Dalby’s successes to date, ‘The Jamaican Sensation’ is just as experienced, has the longer frame, and most importantly, a selection of combinations on the feet behind high output and credible fight IQ.

Bet This Pick: Brown by KO/TKO or Decision (-200)

Brown Straight Up

We have the lengthier, more educated fighter in Brown coming in at –265 on the UFC fight night odds. This would be the “safest” play, but I also believe it’s safe to remove the submission outcome and boost our odds to -200 for Brown by knockout or decision.

Either Brown outworks Dalby on the feet with higher output and smoother footwork, or he does the unthinkable and completely outclasses Dalby to the point where the referee is forced to step in. So, we’ll back Brown by knockout or decision for our UFC parlay picks tonight, to cap off our 2-legger at evens (+100).

UFC Kansas City 2-Leg Parlay (+100)

  • Aliskerov by KO/TKO or Submission (-300)
