The highlight of the evening will be the match between former champion “Thug” Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez, vying for a top 5 spot in the division. Given the high elevation of the venue, we can expect some exciting finishes and an overall thrilling card.

UFC Fight Night Best Bet - Rose Namajunas vs. Tracy Cortez: Namajunas By Decision +115

This fight could be close early, but Cortez coming in on short notice and Rose being used to the elevation are two clear advantages for Rose once we get deeper in the fight. Cortez is on a long winning streak, but this is a huge step up in competition for her. I think Rose paces herself and gets a decision win.

UFC Fight Night Prediction - Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Muslim Salikhov: Over 2.5 Rounds -110

Both of these guys were potent finishers at one time but as age catches up to them, they throw much less volume. With how low volume Salikhov fights, there aren’t going to be many chances for a KO to come.

 

 

 

UFC Fight Night Parlay - Alhassan ML + Van ML: +125 Odds

Alhassan is taking a step back in competition against Cody Brundage, and he should be able to dominate the early part of the fight with his power. He also trains at elevation, so I expect him to be able to push through late. 

Van has a tough test in Charles Johnson, but we’ve seen when he isn’t having to fight off takedowns that he can really open up his striking. I expect him to get stronger the longer the fight goes.

UFC Fight Night Best Bet At Long Odds: Petroski In Round 1 +400

Petroski gases out quickly, but for the first five minutes, he gives a lot of problems to his opponents. Fremd has been KO’d quickly a few times in his career and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened here.
