Betting on the Next UFC Fight Night

Future UFC Hall of Fame mixed martial artist Rose Namajunas headlines this Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night when she steps into the Octagon to take on underdog Tracey Cortez.

Namajunas versus Cortez caps a fantastic main card that starts off with a battle between Abdul Razak Alhassan and Cody Brundage and includes a bout between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Muslim Salikhov.

Writer’s MMA Picks for Namajunas vs Cortez Main Card

Abdul Razak Alhassan -170 vs Cody Brundage +140

Cody Brundage heads into this bout after suffering a loss in his last.

But although Brundage lost via submission, it was versus a seriously talented up and comer in Bo Nickal.

Abdul Razak Alhassan has lost 3-of-5.

Like Brundage, Alhassan lost his last via submission, falling to Joe Pyfer.

These two are close in terms of talent, which is why taking a shot on the underdog makes sense.

UFC Fight Night Pick: Cody Brundage

Julian Erosa +175 vs Christian Rodriguez -210

The underdog in this has some serious physical advantages.

Julian Erosa is 6’ 1” while Christian Rodriguez is 5’ 7”. Erosa also has a 3 inches reach advantage.

The -210 favorite, though, is 8 years younger.

Not only that, but Rodriguez has won 4 straight and boasts an 11-1 record.

Give the freestyle mixed martial artist, that’s Rodriguez, the nod.

UFC Fight Night Pick: Christian Rodriguez

Gabriel Bonfim -360 vs Ange Loosa +270

Ange Loosa is in decent form. The +270 underdog has won 3-of-5 with a draw and a loss.

The draw happened versus Brian Battle in Lossa’s last.

Gabriel Bonfim heads into this off his first career loss, a KO defeat versus Nicolas Dalby.

The bout happened last November.

The chalk has had plenty of time to recover, which is why Bonfim has attracted money since oddsmakers set a line.

Back the favorite to cash.

UFC Fight Night Pick: Gabriel Bonfim

Drew Dober -105 vs Jean Silva -115

Odds suggest Dober versus Silva is the most competitive bout on this Saturday UFC Fight Night main card.

Dober, the -105 slight underdog, outweighs Silva by about 9 pounds.

Dober is also an inch taller and has won 3-of-5.

Silva’s last loss happened in 2018. The -115 favorite is on a 10-match winning streak.

Dober will fight hard, but Silva is the pick.

The chalk keeps the W streak alive.

UFC Fight Night Pick: Jean Silva

Santiago Ponzinibbio -195 vs Muslim Salikhov +165

At one time, Muslim Salikhov was one of the most feared fighters in the welterweight division.

Those times are long gone. Salikhov has lost 3-of-4 and 2 straight.

Santiago Ponzinibbio has also lost 3-of-4. But Santiago has fought the better competition, losing to Kevin Holland in his last.

Ponzinibbio gets the call.

UFC Fight Night Pick: Santiago Ponzinibbio

Rose Namajunas -220 vs Tracy Cortez +180

Tracy Cortez has a fantastic 11-1 record.

But although Cortez’s record impresses, Tracy is 1-0 via TKO/KO and 1-1 via submission victories.

What the knockout and submission records imply is that Cortez is a decision type mixed martial artist.

That puts Cortez in a dire situation versus one of the best women MMA fighters of all time.

Rose Namajunas is 6-1 via submissions.

Once Rose gets Tracy on the mat, it will be a matter of time before she forces Cortez to tap out.

Back the chalk to get it done.

UFC Fight Night Pick: Rose Namajunas

Previous Betting News

The UFC has staged 19 events in Canada across eight cities — Montreal has seen seven shows, Toronto four, and Vancouver three. Calgary, Winnipeg, Halifax, Quebec City and Saskatoon each have hosted one card apiece. But for the first time ever, the capital city of Ottawa will host a card and it’s Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 89, headlined by a welterweight bout between Canadian Rory MacDonald, the No. 1 contender, and No. 2 Stephen Thompson, an American. MacDonald is a slight -120 favorite on the MMA betting lines and the over/under rounds for the scheduled five-rounder is 2.5.

Taking a Closer Look at the UFC Fight Night 89 Betting Pick on Thompson Vs. MacDonald

“We’ve always wanted to come to our nation’s capital and we know that Ontario is a strong market for us,” said Tom Wright, the UFC’s managing director for operations in Canada. “(Ottawa) is a nice distance between Montreal and Toronto and Kingston, it’s a great sports town, and we can’t think of a better city to mark the 20th UFC event in Canada than our nation’s capital.”

The winner could get a title shot at 170-pound champion Robbie Lawler, who fights at UFC 201 late next month in Atlanta and should handle Tyron Woodley.

MacDonald (18-3), who is from Montreal, has won eight of his last 10 outings. He holds impressive victories over Tarec Saffiedine, Woodley, Demian Maia, Jake Ellenberger and B.J. Penn. At UFC 189 in July, MacDonald came up short in 2015’s Fight of the Year against Lawler. That fight ended in a fifth-round TKO but MacDonald was actually leading on all three judges’ cards entering the round. But the “Red King” eventually succumbed to a straight left hand. The punch didn’t knock down MacDonald, but it appeared to injure him in some way. After a short delay, MacDonald crumpled backward, prompting referee John McCarthy to step in. MacDonald’s nose was so badly broken that he hasn’t fought in 11 months, the longest layoff of his pro career.

The result was somewhat similar to a previous three-round fight between the two. In a split-decision win in November 2013, Lawler overcame a bad second round to knock MacDonald down in the third and take over the end of the fight. MacDonald’s only other loss was in June 2010 at UFC 115 to Carlos Condit. He badly wants another shot at Lawler. This is the last bout on MacDonald’s contract. If he wins, he will become one of the biggest free agents to hit the market in the history of the sport. But it’s almost impossible to think the UFC would simply let MacDonald walk for another organization. He will certainly get a nice raise with a win.

“It’s the biggest fight of my career by far,” MacDonald said. “It’s really going to play out my future for the next few years.”

Thompson (12-1) is from South Carolina and riding a six-fight win streak. During that run he has earned knockout wins over Jake Ellenberger, Robert Whittaker and Chris Clements. In his most recent trip to the Octagon, “Wonderboy” became the first fighter to finish Johny Hendricks by stopping the former welterweight champion with strikes in the first round. Thompson’s only loss was to Matt Brown by decision in 2012.

Both these fighters have reputations for moving forward and going for hard, technical strikes, so there should be plenty of action. That the fight won’t go the five-round distance is a -135 favorite on betting lines.

Expert Betting Prediction

This should be a great fight and I’d say it ends before the fifth round, which is +105. Take MacDonald inside distance at +284.
