Lando Vannata vs Charles Jourdain – Fight to go the Distance – Yes (-165)
This fight is basically even, and both guys have been rather inconsistent in their UFC careers so far. Charles Jourdain has the edge in striking volume, but Lando Vannata has the edge in grappling. In 7 UFC fights, Jourdain has seen 4 of them go the distance while 8 of Vannata’s 11 UFC fights have done the same. With not much separating these fighters, expect a tight contest and back this fight to go the distance.
Jordan Wright vs Marc-Andre Barriault – Fight to go the Distance – N0 (-225)
Jordan Wright comes into this fight with an MMA record of 12-2. He is 2-2 in the UFC, most recently losing to Bruno Silva by KO/TKO back in December of 2021.

Wright has 14 career fights in MMA and all 14 of them have ended with a finish. He has 7 wins by KO/TKO and 5 wins by submission, as well as, 2 losses by KO/TKO. Barriault does not have quite a finish rate as high, winning 9 times by KO/TKO. Still, he has plenty of power that can stop his opponent, so backing this fight to end inside the distance will be the play.
Marcin Prachnio vs Philipe Lins – Fight to go the Distance – No (-225)
Marcin Prachnio comes into this fight with an MMA record of 15-5. He is 2-3 in the UFC, most recently beating Ike Villanueva by KO/TKO back in June of 2021.

In 19 career fights, Lins has seen 16 of them end inside the distance. Out of Prachnio’s 20 career fights, 16 have also ended inside the distance. With both fighters having a high finish rate, but also prone to losing by a finish, backing this fight to end inside the distance will be the lean.
