UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Duncan Predictions For The Main Card

The main card starts at 8:00 PM ET on Paramount+.

Renato Moicano (+150) vs. Chris Duncan (-175)

  • Division: Lightweight

Moicano enters at 20-7-1, and the provided inputs note him as a lightweight with a No. 10 ranking mentioned in MMA media. Duncan comes in at 15-2-0, so this is one of the more experienced versus ascending-favorite matchups on the card.

From the price alone, Duncan is getting respect as the favorite, but it is not a runaway line. That usually points to a matchup where both sides have paths, and that makes straight side value a little more important than trying to force a read that is not supported by the listed totals input.

Moicano has the deeper résumé in the provided data, but the betting market is leaning toward Duncan. On this board, that is enough to keep the pick simple.

Bet: Chris Duncan (-175)

Virna Jandiroba (-122) vs. Tabatha Ricci (+113)

  • Total: Over (-430)/Under 2.5 (+300) Rounds
  • Division: Women’s Strawweight

Jandiroba is listed at 22-4-0, while Ricci is 12-3-0. The market has this fight lined competitively, but Jandiroba still carries favorite pricing.

The total stands out here. Over 2.5 rounds at -430 tells you the market expects a longer fight and does not see much finish pressure priced into this matchup. That matters, because in a close moneyline fight, a higher-round expectation usually makes clean position and round-winning equity more valuable.

This looks like one of the better fights on the card for bettors who want a measured read instead of a big swing. Jandiroba is the side, and the over fits the board shape.

Bet: Virna Jandiroba (-122), Over 2.5 rounds (-430)

Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev (-1400) vs. Brendson Ribeiro (+850)

  • Division: Light Heavyweight

Yakhyaev is 8-0-0, and Ribeiro is 17-9-0. The line is the story here, because -1400 versus +850 is one of the most one-sided moneyline spots on the entire card.

That kind of pricing does not leave much room for side value unless you are building parlays or looking for props, and no verified total was provided for this fight. Without more supporting inputs, the safest approach is to stay with the favorite and avoid overcomplicating it.

The number is steep, but the market is making a strong statement on who should control this matchup.

Bet: Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev (-1400)

Ethyn Ewing (-127) vs. Rafael Estevam (+122)

  • Total: Over (-186)/Under 2.5 (+146) Rounds
  • Division: Bantamweight

Ewing is listed at 9-2-0, while Estevam is 14-0-0. That undefeated mark is hard to ignore in a fight that is already priced close.

The total leans toward over 2.5 rounds at -186, which suggests a competitive fight that could stretch rather than break early. In matchups like this, getting plus money on the unbeaten side stands out, especially when the line is this narrow.

This is one of the better dog prices on the main card. The market is saying it is close, and the plus number gives Estevam the better betting appeal.

Bet: Rafael Estevam (+122), Over 2.5 rounds (-186)

Tommy McMillen (-500) vs. Manolo Zecchini (+385)

  • Division: Featherweight

McMillen brings a 9-0-0 record into this fight, while Zecchini is 11-4-0. The line is wide, and that makes this another fight where the favorite is clearly being trusted by the market.

At -500, this is not a clean standalone side unless you are comfortable paying a premium. There was no verified total provided in the inputs, so the safest read is to stick with the straight favorite and keep expectations narrow.

McMillen is one of the more obvious side picks on the main card even if the price is not especially attractive by itself.

Bet: Tommy McMillen (-500)

Jose Delano (-300) vs. Robert Ruchala (+250)

  • Division: Featherweight

Delano is listed at 16-3-0, while Ruchala is 11-2-0. This is another fight where the favorite is clear, but not in the same overwhelming range as the biggest chalk on the card.

At -300, Delano has enough separation to show confidence from the market without reaching the same extreme tier as Yakhyaev. That makes him more usable as a straight pick, especially on a card with several uncertain or conflicting prelim numbers.

This is a price-versus-risk spot. Delano is not cheap, but he is still one of the steadier favorites on the board.

Bet: Jose Delano (-300)

UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Duncan Preliminary Card Odds

Here is a look at the current preliminary card odds for UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Duncan.

UFC FavoriteUFC UnderdogUFC Prediction
Alessandro Costa (-376 or -450)Stewart Nicoll (+335 or +350)Alessandro Costa
Guilherme Pat (-110) or Thomas Petersen (-110)Guilherme Pat (-110) or Thomas Petersen (-110)Guilherme Pat
Alice Pereira (-122)Hailey Cowan (+125)Alice Pereira
Azamt Bekoev (-850 or -650)Tresean Gore (+625 or +500)Azamat Bekoev
Dione Barbosa (-122) or Melissa Gatto (-135)Melissa Gatto (+122) or Dione Barbosa (+115)Melissa Gatto
Kai Kamaka III (-164)Dakota Hope (+134)Kai Kamaka III

The prelim board has a little more volatility because several lines were provided as conflicts rather than single settled prices. That makes it tougher to chase precision, but it also highlights where the market still sees separation and where it does not.

Costa and Bekoev are the clearest favorite positions among the prelims, while Pereira-Cowan, Barbosa-Gatto, and Pat-Petersen all sit in tighter ranges. There are also a couple of provided totals that point to longer fights rather than early chaos.

UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Duncan Predictions For The Preliminary Card

The prelims start at 5:00 PM ET on Paramount+.

Alessandro Costa (-376 or -450) vs. Stewart Nicoll (+335 or +350)

  • Total: Over (+102)/Under 2.5 (-128) Rounds
  • Division: Flyweight

Costa comes in at 14-5-0, while Nicoll is 8-2-0. The moneyline is wide even with the conflict in the exact price, and that tells you the market sees Costa as one of the stronger favorite positions on the prelims.

The total leans under 2.5 rounds at -128, which gives this fight a different shape than some of the more methodical matchups on the card. When a favorite is already this clear and the under is shaded, the read is fairly direct.

Costa is expensive, but the board supports him as one of the cleaner prelim sides.

Bet: Alessandro Costa (-376 or -450), Under 2.5 rounds (-128)

Guilherme Pat (-110) vs. Thomas Petersen (-110)

  • Division: Heavyweight

Pat is 6-0-0, while Petersen is 10-4-0. The market is essentially calling this fight even, and the provided odds reflect that with matching -110 pricing.

That makes this one of the cleaner coin-flip spots on the prelims. When the board is this flat, bettors are basically deciding which profile they trust more at even money rather than finding a true pricing mistake.

Pat gets the slight nod here because the market has not separated them and the undefeated record keeps the side playable at the same price.

Bet: Guilherme Pat (-110)

Alice Pereira (-122) vs. Hailey Cowan (+125)

  • Total: Over (-360)/Under 2.5 (+260) Rounds
  • Division: Women’s Bantamweight

Pereira is listed at 6-1-0, while Cowan is 7-4-0. The moneyline is close, but Pereira still holds favorite status.

The total is a major clue. Over 2.5 rounds at -360 points strongly toward a longer fight, and that usually pairs well with the steadier favorite in a narrower matchup. This is not a fight where the market is expecting much finish urgency.

That makes Pereira and the over one of the cleaner correlated reads on the prelim card.

Bet: Alice Pereira (-122), Over 2.5 rounds (-360)

Azamat Bekoev (-850 or -650) vs. Tresean Gore (+625 or +500)

  • Division: Middleweight

Bekoev comes in at 20-4-0, while Gore is 6-4-0. Even with the conflict in the exact line, this is still a wide favorite spot.

There is no verified total provided, so the read stays on the moneyline only. The market is not giving Gore much respect in the current pricing range, and that makes Bekoev one of the clearest favorite calls on the prelims.

The number is heavy, but the side is straightforward.

Bet: Azamat Bekoev (-850 or -650)
  • Total: Over (-320)/Under 2.5 (+235) Rounds
  • Division: Women’s Flyweight

Barbosa is listed at 8-4-0, while Gatto is 9-2-2. The provided odds conflict on favorite designation, but one version of the market has Gatto as the favorite at -135, and that is enough to keep this close fight in the value tier rather than the certainty tier.

The total again points toward a longer fight. Over 2.5 rounds at -320 suggests a measured pace from the market’s perspective, and that matters in a matchup where neither side is being priced as a major favorite.

This looks like a competitive fight, but Gatto at the more established favorite number is the cleaner side from the provided inputs.

Bet: Melissa Gatto (-135), Over 2.5 rounds (-320)

Kai Kamaka III (-164) vs. Dakota Hope (+134)

  • Division: Lightweight

Kamaka is 17-7-1, while Hope is 11-1-0. The price puts Kamaka in favorite position, but not so far ahead that this becomes one of the easiest reads on the card.

This is the kind of prelim where the favorite still has playable value because the number stays below the heavy-chalk tier. There is no verified total included for this fight, so the straight side remains the cleanest approach.

Kamaka is not a must-play, but he is still one of the more usable favorites on the prelim board.

Bet: Kai Kamaka III (-164)
