Vicente Luque vs. Belal Muhammad Picks

Luque and Muhammad run it back one more time with this matchup. Luque won their previous meeting back in 2016 when he defeated Muhammad with a first-round knockout.

This fight has a huge impact on a title shot down the line, as the fourth (Luque) and fifth (Muhammad) ranked fighters in the division battle it out. However, they each have established their strengths since their last meeting.

Luque is arguably underrated in his ability to finish opponents early. If he can have his way, he will be able to finish it before five rounds.

This fight will have some similarities compared to the one six years ago. They each have grown since that fight, but Luque still offers a victory potential by knockout, with a safe bet for the win.

Best Bet: Luque Wins at -158

Caio Borralho vs. Gadzhi Omargadzhiev Prediction

Both of these fighters will be making their UFC debuts after previously posting first-round victories in the Contender Series. Omargadzhiev has 13 straight victories without a loss, and Borralho has posted ten consecutive victories with only one defeat.

This one is arguably the closest matchup on the card, which could go either direction. Omargadzhiev, however, brings forth a competitive resume and seems to be a well-rounded fighter.

Borralho has similarities in fighting style to Omargadzhiev, so there will be a quality back and forth action. As long as one fighter does not make crucial mistakes, it could go the distance.

Best Bet: Omargadzhiev Wins at -140

Miguel Baeza vs. Andre Fialho Prediction

Baez is on a two-fight skid and needs to get back on track. Fialho is recently coming off signing with the UFC after being in UAE Warriors but suffered a defeat against Michel Pereira.

This is one of those matchups that is hard to predict because of the negative aspects of each fighter. Baeza has cardio issues, which has shown in his last two fights.

As for Fialho, he has an excellent opportunity to make one of the biggest victories of his career. All he really has to do is cause pressure and remain aggressive.

Best Bet: Fialho Wins at +145
