Thiago Santos vs. Magomed Ankalaev Prediction

Fans love to see explosive finishes and one-hit knockout power destroy the other fighter. This is one of those matchups, but unfortunately, both sides might be a bit timid at first.

With a fairly decent grappling advantage, it would not be surprising to see Ankalaev use his wrestling to dominate the event. Ankalaev will be appearing in his first career main event and attempting to move up within the rankings, so he might look to pace himself.

Santos is not what he used to be and has looked a bit off since his loss to Jon Jones back in 2019. He tore up both knees and needed surgery after that fight.

If he is timid like he has been in his last three fights, this will be over quickly. The safest pick would be to use Ankalaev as a parlay piece for the win, but more value could be found with a TKO victory.

Best Bet: Ankalaev wins -630 (use for parlay)

Marlon Moraes vs. Yadong Song Prediction

Moraes needs a victory badly here to potentially keep his job. In his last five bouts, he has gone 1-4 among a three-fight losing streak too.

Moraes has faced great strikers in his recent losses, but they were all able to piece him up after the first and second round. Song is another one of those threats and is on the rise to do so.

Song has shown to have much better cardio and the chin to withstand whatever Moraes could throw at him in the first round. This matchup will likely end by some form of knockout, as Moraes cannot help but go down swinging.

Best Bet: Song wins by TKO at -110 (method of victory)

Sodiq Yusuff vs. Alex Caceres Prediction

Yusuff just had his previous six-fight winning streak snapped against Arnold Allen last April. For Caceres, he is currently on a five-fight win streak.

These two are slightly different in their approach, as Yusuff loves to strike while Caceres looks to control the ground. This is a bit of a toss-up early in the fight, but Yusuff should be able to stand his ground to get the victory at the end.

Best Bet: Yusuff wins -235
