Johnny Walker vs. Jamahal Hill Betting Odds

Two high-level strikers take the main event spot, with Johnny Walker taking on Jamahal Hill. Both competitors will see this fight as a stepping stone towards a top-ten opponent.

Johnny Walker Fight Odds

Johnny Walker will be hoping to bounce back to his entertaining ways following a disappointing effort against Thiago Santos in his last fight. The Brazilian began his UFC career with three first-round KO/TKOs but has since failed to be consistent. As a result, Walker is an underdog for this clash. However, the 29-year-old is hoping that his extra experience inside the Octagon and his height and reach advantage will help him upset the odds.

Jamahal Hill Fight Odds

Jamahal Hill is coming off a dominant performance against Jim Crute, which he won by knockout in the first round to take him to 3-1 in the division (Paul Craig inflicted his only loss). This quick and powerful performance has led Vegas oddsmakers to make the 30-year-old a -250 favorite. However, if you’re thinking of betting on Hill, be aware that his overall finish rate is 56%. Also, as Hill’s only loss at this weight came from rushing in, there are still question marks around his decision-making skills. But if he stays composed and uses his footwork, he’ll likely win by TKO/KO in the later rounds.

Jamie Pickett vs. Kyle Daukaus Betting Odds

The co-main event sees Kyle Daukaus and Jamie Pickett battle in a fun catchweight bout (195 pounds). Jamie Picket is filling in for Julian Marquez with just ten day’s notice.

Jamie Pickett Fight Odds

Although Pickett has only been out of the cage for a month, he’s eager to build on his two-fight winning streak. And, despite not being the favorite, the 33-year-old has advantages over his opponent: more combat experience and a four-inch reach advantage. Also, the American has an impressive 70% finish rate, with eight knockout wins. However, expect Pickett to be cautious in this fight to try and secure a decision win.

Kyle Daukaus Fight Odds

Kyle Daukaus is hoping for his first victory two years after his last fight with Kevin Holland was ruled a no-contest due to a clash of heads. If the American performs as well as he did against Holland, he will likely get back to winning ways. He has the height advantage in this battle and is a finisher in his own right, with eight submissions and an 80% finish percentage. Therefore, many UFC fans are betting on Daukaus to finish his opponent via submission. But, as he’s been away from the Octagon for two years, he could suffer from ring rust this Saturday.

Jim Miller vs. Nikolas Motta Betting Odds

Veteran Jim Miller will square off against newcomer Nikolas Motta at lightweight. As both fighters are excellent finishers, this battle could win Fight of the Night.

Jim Miller Fight Odds

This bout will be Jim Miller’s 50th professional fight, and he has said that he will not retire before competing at UFC 300. Miller wants to be the only fighter in the organization’s history to have competed on every century card to add some extra shine to his legacy – the American already holds several records in the lightweight division, including the most UFC appearances, finishes, and victories.

The 38-year-old fighter goes into this fight with five finishes in his past nine contests. Miller’s game plan for this battle will be straightforward: knock his opponent down and earn a submission finish.

Nikolas Motta Fight Odds

Although this is Motta’s first fight in the UFC after earning a contract through the Contender Series, he’s the favorite to win this bout. Despite having far less experience than his opponent, the organization has a lot of faith in him. And rightly so – the 28-year-old has a 59% finish rate and is currently on a three-fight win streak. However, don’t expect this fight to be a walk in the park for Motta – Miller will surely test Motta’s takedown defense. But if the Brazilian can keep this fight standing, he should scrape this one.

Joaquin Buckley vs. Abdul Alhassan Betting Odds

Middleweight finishers Joaquin Buckley and Abdul Alhassan square off in what promises to be an entertaining matchup. Both fighters are strikers and have produced some spectacular highlight finishes during their UFC careers.

Joaquin Buckley Fight Odds

Joaquin Buckley is the firm favorite for this bout. The former welterweight is currently on an impressive run in the company, with three knockouts, including the KO of the year 2020. Compared to his opponent, The American is nine years younger, has the three-inch reach advantage, and has two fights worth of experience. With ten wins coming through knockout, Buckley has also got a 77% finish rate. As a result, the oddsmakers favor him to add to his KO reel this weekend.

Abdul Alhassan Fight Odds

This will be Abdul Alhassan’s second fight at middleweight. After missing weight numerous times, it will be interesting to see how he fares in this division. However, the Ghanaian did well in his last middleweight fight by knocking out Alessio Di Chirico in under 30 seconds. The 36-year-old has a 100% finish rate, with all his wins coming by knockout. Therefore, he’ll likely try and blitz Buckley early on to try and add another KO to his record.

Parker Porter vs. Alan Baudot Betting Odds

American Parker Porter takes on Frenchman Alan Baudot to kick off the main card. Porter is on the verge of breaking into the top 15, while Baudot needs a win to keep his UFC career alive.

Parker Porter Fight Odds

Parker Porter enters this fight with a two-bout victory streak, including two decision victories over Chase Sherman and Josh Parisian. The American’s quick footwork and strong striking helped him dominate his last two opponents. Porter is the more experienced fighter, having competed in seven more professional fights than his opponent. What’s more, he has a 67% finish percentage. Oddsmakers think he’ll stick to his previous fight’s game plan to lengthen his winning streak at UFC vegas.

Alan Baudot Fight Odds

The Frenchman’s start has been rocky, with a no-contest and a TKO loss to rising star Tom Aspinall. However, Baudot is a seasoned striker who trains alongside interim champion Ciryl Gane. Additionally, as he’s the taller fighter, has a four-inch reach advantage, and boasts a perfect finish rate, he won’t be a pushover.
