Vicente Luque vs. Belal Muhammad – UFC Fight Odds
The stakes are high in this matchup; whoever wins could easily land themselves a title fight against The Nigerian Nightmare – Usman.
The last time these pair met in the Octagon was in 2016 when Vicente Luque knocked out Belal Muhammad in the first round. Since then, both these fighters have fought to the top of the welterweight rankings and now sit in fourth (Luque) and fifth (Muhammad).
Luque enters the bout riding a four-fight win streak and is a sizable favorite to come out on top according to the odds. Last year he fought twice and submitted both Woodley and Chiesa in the first round.
The Brazilian has impressed in his UFC career, winning fourteen of his sixteen fights – with eight KO/TKO wins and five submissions. The Silent Assassin enters with a 5-inch reach advantage to back up his 91% finishing rate.
Despite Belal Muhammad losing to Luque in his first year of being a UFC fighter, he has only lost to one other fighter, Geoff Neal – by decision, back in 2019.
Since joining the UFC, the Palestinian has only lost twice: via KO against Luque and via decision when facing Geoff Neal.
Muhammad has some great cardio and some world-class grappling skills. But the 33-year-old will have to overcome the knockout power that he has faced before from his dangerous opponent.
The stakes are high in this matchup; whoever wins could easily land themselves a title fight against The Nigerian Nightmare – Usman.

Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Yanan Wu – UFC Fight Odds
Both of these fighters are looking to come back from adversity. Silva lost by decision in October to Manon Fiorot, and the last time Wu fought, she lost to Joselyne Edwards.
Mayra Bueno Silva is a big favorite to come out of the Octagon the winner in this fight. She has never been knocked out or submitted in her professional career, only losing by decision when going the distance.
The Brazilian that won her spot in the UFC from Dana Whites’ Contender Series Brazil has a 86% finish rate, with most of her wins coming from submissions.
As Yana Wu’s last victory came against Laren Mueller in 2018, she desperately needs a win on Saturday to keep her career alive.
The Chinese striker has proved she has what it takes in her early career, with a 92% finish rate and seven knockouts in her highlight reel.
Wu will look to break her two-fight losing streak against Silva. This could prove to be a close matchup if things stay standing, with both fighters having the same reach.
| Mayra Bueno Silva | vs | Yanan Wu |

Pat Sabatini vs. T.J. Laramie – UFC Fight Odds
This featherweight bout will see two relative newcomers to the UFC battle it out. Sabatini had his first fight in the Octagon in April last year, while Laramie won his spot in the Contender Series in August and suffered a loss in his UFC debut in September.
Although Sabatini is new to the UFC, he has had 19 fights – three more than his opponent in this bout. Also, the Pennsylvanian held the Fighting Championship (CFFC) featherweight champion belt.
The 31-year-old is the favorite to win against Laramie, and he has a significant four-inch reach advantage and a 75% finish rate. The American has shown his prowess with one knockout win and eleven submissions. As a result, UFC betting sites have him as a -360 favorite.
T.J. Laramie might have some problems facing the jiu-jitsu of Sabatini on the weekend as his last loss against Darrick Minner came from a first-round submission.
You can’t count the Canadian out, he is seven years younger than his American opponent and has plenty of knockout power. Laramie has a 75% finish rate, with seven professional knockouts and two submission wins.
| Pat Sabatini | vs | T.J. Laramie |
|---|---|---|
| 31 | Age | 24 |
| 19 | Fights | 16 |
| 16 | Wins | 12 |
| 3 | Losses | 4 |

Elizeu Zaleski Dos Santos vs. Mounir Lazzez – UFC Fight Odds
This welterweight matchup will kick off the evening’s main card. Zaleski Dos Santos is coming off the back of a decision win against Benoit Saint Denis, and Mounir Lazzez last fought a little over a year ago but lost in the first round to Warlley Alves.
Due to their recent form, we see Zaleski enter the Octagon as a slight favorite. The Brazilian has 14 knockout wins and 3 submissions in his highlight reel, alongside 6 decision wins that make up his 74% finish rate.
The 35-year-old has much more experience as a professional, with 18 more fights than Lazzez. So you definitely cannot count him out of this one.
Lazzez made his UFC debut with a win against Abdul Alhassan in July 2020. He might be new to this level of competition, but he previously dominated in other championships on the other side of the Atlantic, including Desert Force.
The Tunisian enters as the underdog, but he will have a 3-inch-reach advantage, an 80% finish rate with eight knockouts from ten wins.
We will likely see a stand-up brawl between these similarly-aged, heavy-handed strikers. It promises to be a fun opening to the main fight card.
| Elizeu Zaleski Dos Santos | vs | Mounir Lazzez |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | Age | 34 |
| 30 | Fights | 12 |
| 23 | Wins | 10 |
| 7 | Losses | 2 |
| 14 | KO’s | 8 |
| 3 | Subs | 0 |
| 5′ 11 | Height (feet) | 6′ 1 |
| 73 | Reach (inches) | 76 |
