Since then, Muhammad has won five straight and is undefeated in his last ten fights.

The largest betting favorite on the main card, Tom Aspinall is listed at (-420) via FanDuel, England’s interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall looks to avenge his TKO (doctor stoppage loss) against Curtis Blaydes when the two rematch in the co-main event this Saturday.
Aspinall recently won his interim title by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich in the first round of their UFC 295 main event.
Blaydes, a wrestling ace, recently became the first man to defeat Jailton Almeida in the UFC octagon. Blaydes knocked out the rising star in the second round of their UFC 299 bout back in March.
Aspinall has the edge in height but Blaydes, a (+310) underdog, will have a two-inch reach advantage.

Bobby Green is no more! This weekend we will see the first appearance of King Green.
Green is 3-1 in his last four fights. He most recently defeated UFC legend Jim Miller on the infamous UFC 300 card that took place back in April.
He takes on England’s Paddy Pimblett - a fighter still undefeated in the UFC despite some controversies.
A second-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Pimblett most recently defeated former interim champion Tony Ferguson by unanimous decision at UFC 296 last December.
Pimblett will have a slight edge in reach but this fight is a pick’ em in the eyes of oddsmakers with Green listed at (-144) compared to Pimblett’s (-106).

Undefeated number-six ranked flyweight Muhammed Mokaev takes on number-eight ranked Manel Kape in what is sure to be Mokaev’s biggest test to date.
Mokaev now has six wins in the UFC, most recently defeating Alex Perez by unanimous decision back in March.
Kape has won his last four in a row and is coming off of a decision win over Felipe dos Santos.
Mokaev, a (-168) favorite at FanDuel, will stand three-inches taller and have a two-inch reach advantage.

Another English fighter on this card, Arnold Allen is looking to get back in the win column after having suffered losses in his last two bouts against Max Holloway and, more recently, Movsar Evloev.
He takes on Giga Chikadze, a kickboxer who recently bounced back from his first UFC loss by defeating Alex Caceres last August. This will be his first fight of 2024.
Despite Chikadze’s three-inch height and four-inch reach advantages over Allen, Arnold Allen is still listed as the (+184) underdog via FanDuel.
