Mateusz Rebecki vs Roosevelt Roberts
UFC Odds: Mateusz Rebecki -800; Roosevelt Roberts +500
Lightweight Bout
Rebecki records: 18-1-0 | 9 KOs /Roberts records: 12-4-0 | 4 KOs
It’s easy to see why Mateusz Rebecki is the favorite. Although he’s much shorter and has a much shorter reach than underdog Roosevelt Roberts, Rebecki is 18-1.
He’s also 9-1 via TKO/KO and 6-0 via submission victories. Roberts is talented but shouldn’t last more than 2 rounds.

UFC Odds: Tabatha Ricci +150; Loopy Godinez -180
Women’s Strawweight Bout
Ricci records: 9-1-0 | 1 KOs / Godinez `records: 11-2-0 | 1 KOs
Favorite Loopy Godinez has won 4-of-5 and is on a 3-match winning streak. As well as Godinez has fought, though, she doesn’t often win by either submission or knockout.
Most of Godinez’s bouts end up with her arms raised via a decision victory. Tabatha Ricci has won 4 straight. She’s 3-0 via submission wins. Give the underdog a chance to bite.

Erceg records: 10-1-0 | 1 KOs / Costa records: 13-3-0 | 4 KOs
10-1 favorite Steve Erceg is 4 inches taller than underdog Alessandro Costa. The height advantage makes Erceg difficult to go against.

Diego Lopes vs Pat Sabatini
UFC Odds: Diego Lopes +105; Pat Sabatini -115
Featherweight Bout
Lopes records: 22-6-0 | 8 KOs / Sabatini records: 18-4-0 | 2 KOs
There’s only a 10-point difference in fight odds between Diego Lopes and Pat Sabatini. Underdog Lopes has a 3 inches height advantage and is 8-2 via TKO/KO and 12-0 via submissions.
Sabatini has won 4-of-5 and is 11-0 via submission wins. The slight chalk should fight well. But the +105 dog is taller and has a longer reach. If the fight goes to the ground, Sabatini’s edge isn’t as strong as it would be versus a primarily stand up fighter.

Matt Frevola vs Benoit Saint Denis
UFC Odds: Matt Frevola +190; Benoit Saint Denis -235
Lightweight Bout
Frevola records: 11-3-1 | 4 KOs / Saint Denis records: 12-1-1 | 3 KOs
Frevola heads into this with a couple of physical disadvantages. But Frevola has won his last 3 via knockout over Genaro Valdez, Ottman Azaitar, and Drew Dober.
Still, although Frevola is on a 3-match winning streak, Benoit Sant Denis is the best fighter he’s faced in a while. Saint Denis is 12-1. The favorite is 3-0 via knockout wins and 9-0 via submissions. Benoit gets it done.

Jessica Andrade vs McKenzie Dern
UFC Odds: Jessica Andrade +175; McKenzie Dern -210
Women’s Strawweight Bout
Andrade records: 24-12-0 | 9 KOs / Dern records: 13-3-0
At one time, Andrade owned the women’s strawweight division. But in her last few fights, Jessica has shown she’s not close to being dominant.
Andrade takes on McKenzie Dern on a 3-match losing streak. Erin Blanchfield and Tatiana Suarez submitted Andrade. Yan Xiaonan knocked out Jessica.
Dern has lost 2-of-5. Both losses came via decision. McKenzie has a height advantage that should help her secure the victory.

Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall
UFC Odds: Sergei Pavlovich +100; Tom Aspinall -120
Heavyweight Bout
Pavlovich records: 18-1-0 | 15 KOs / Aspinall records: 13-3-0 | 10 KOs
Pavlovich versus Aspinall is a battle between two quality mixed martial artists where the taller fighter has the sorter reach. Aspinall is 2 inches taller than Pavlovich.
The slight underdog has a 6 inches reach advantage. The taller fighter usually has the edge even if they have a shorter reach. But in this case, Pavlovich gets the nod.
Sergei is 18-1 and heads into this after knocking out the 6’ 4” Curtis Blaydes. Beating Blaydes is never easy. Beating Blaydes via knockout is impressive. Overall, Pavlovich is 15-1 via technical or straight up knockout. The underdog gets the win.

Jiri Prochazka vs Alex Pereira
UFC Odds: Jiri Prochazka +100; Alex Pereira -120
UFC Light Heavyweight Title
Prochazka records: 29-3-1 | 25 KOs / Pereira records: 8-2 | 6 KOs
Prochazka has an exceptional record. The +100 choice is 29-3-1. He’s 25-2 via knockouts and technical knockouts and 3-1 via submissions.
Pereira is 8-2. Alex has won 6 of his bouts via knockout or technical out. 1 of his losses, the defeat to Israel Adesanya in the rematch, came via KO.
For sure, Pereira can win this. But Prochazka has more experience and has a more expansive skill set. Also, Jiri is out to prove something. Give Prochazka the nod.
