Manon Fiorot ML over Rose Namajunas (-205)
Manon Fiorot comes into this fight with an MMA record of 10-1. She is 5-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Katlyn Chookagain by unanimous decision back in October of 2022. Fiorot is averaging 6.58 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 42%. She is absorbing 3.14 strikes and has a striking defense of 71%. Her grappling is also solid, averaging 1.69 takedowns per every 15 minutes. Her takedown accuracy is 50% and her takedown defense is 83%.
Fiorot is a large favorite, but given that she has been perfect in the UFC, and has superior striking and better grappling, backing her to win this fight will be our play.
Benoit Saint Denis vs Thiago Moises – Fight to go the Distance – No (-165)
Benoit Saint Denis is a moderate-sized favorite, but the more likely result looks to be a fight that ends inside the distance. Thiago Moises has seen each of his last 4 UFC fights end inside the distance, while Saint Denis has seen each of his last 3 fights do the same. For that reason, backing this fight to also end inside the distance is the pick here.

William Gomis ML over Yanis Ghemmouri (-205)
William Gomis comes into this fight with an MMA record of 12-2. He is 2-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Francis Marshall by split decision in April. Gomis is averaging 1.97 significant strikes and has a striking accuracy of 39%. He is absorbing 1.17 strikes and has a striking defense of 81%. His grappling is also solid, averaging 1.50 takedowns every 15 minutes. Gomis has a takedown accuracy of 60% and a takedown defense of 71%.
Gomis is the heavy favorite, but looks to still be the right side given that he has had experience in the UFC. He is a balanced fighter, and has done a great job of avoiding damage, having never lost by KO/TKO. For that reason, backing Gomis to remain unbeaten in the UFC is my play.
Morgan Charriere vs Manolo Zecchini – Fight to go the Distance – No (-165)
Morgan Charriere is one of the biggest favorites on this card, but with being his debut, that is a risky bet. Manolo Zecchini has seen 12 of his 14 fights end inside the distance overall, while Charriere has had 14 of his 28 fights do the same, including his last 2 fights. For that reason, backing this fight to also end inside the distance could be the best play.
