Ian Machado Garry vs. Carlos Prates - Welterweight Division

After suffering the first loss of his professional career at the hands of Shavkat Rakhmonov, judo black belt Ian Machado Garry aims to get back in the win column this Saturday.

Garry lost to Rakhmonov via unanimous decision at UFC 310 last December. Prior to that loss, he had won 15-straight, including eight in the UFC.

He takes on BJJ black belt Carlos Prates - a fighter who is 4-0 in the UFC and who is riding an overall winning streak of 11-fights.

Prates most recently knocked out Neil Magny in the first round of their November 2024 bout.

Garry, a -130 favorite via FanDuel in this match-up, will stand two-inches taller. However it is the +102 underdog Prates who will have a four-inch advantage in reach.

Anthony Smith vs. Zhang Mingyang - Light Heavyweight Division

In what is expected to be his final fight in the UFC, former light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith will take on prospect Zhang Mingyang in the co-main event this weekend.

Smith last fought against Dominick Reyes last December at UFC 310. He lost the fight via TKO. He seemed close to retirement after that fight but has opted to return for one more.

Zhang Mingyang - ten-years younger than Smith - has won his first two fights in the UFC and his last 11 fights overall. He is coming off a first-round TKO win over Ozzy Diaz that took place last November. 

Unsurprisingly, Mingyang is a -520 favorite to win at FanDuel. What is surprising, however, is that Mingyang is not the largest betting favorite on this weekend’s main card.

Giga Chikadze vs. David Onama - Featherweight Division

Giga Chikadze started his UFC career by winning his first seven fights in a row with the promotion. However, the number-12 ranked featherweight has gone just 1-2 over his last three fights and is coming off of a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Arnold Allen that took place last July at UFC 304.

Chikadze takes on David Onama, who has won his last three in a row. Obama most recently defeated Roberto Romero via unanimous decision last November at UFC 309.

Six-years younger than his opponent, David Onama will enter this contest against Giga Chikadze as the -192 favorite to win at FanDuel.

Michel Pereira vs. Abus Magomedov - Middleweight Division

Holding black belts in BJJ and karate, Michel Pereira looks to bounce back from his most recent loss to Anthony Hernandez - a loss that snapped his eight fight winning streak.

His opponent, Abus Magomedov, is 3-2 in the UFC but has won his last two in a row. He most recently defeated Brunno Ferreira via third-round submission at UFC 308 last October.

Despite standing one-inch taller and having a five-inch reach advantage, Abus Magomedov will enter this match-up as the +120 underdog via FanDuel.

Randy Brown vs. Nicolas Dalby - Welterweight Division

7-2 in his last nine fights, Randy Brown looks to bounce back from his most recent loss: a split-decision loss to Bryan Battle that took place at UFC 310 last December.

His opponent, Nicolas Dalby, also had a winning streak snapped recently. After winning four straight, Dalby also lost his most recent bout via split-decision against Rinat Fakhretdinov last June. 

Randy Brown is six-years younger than his opponent. He will stand four-inches taller and have a 3.5-inch reach advantage as well. Brown is listed as the -280 favorite via FanDuel.

Ikram Aliskerov vs. Andre Muniz - Middleweight Division

Sambo specialist Ikram Aliskerov looks to rebound from his first UFC loss, which came against former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker last June.

Prior to the KO loss against Whittaker, Aliskerov had won seven in a row - including one win on the Contender Series and two under the UFC banner.

He takes on Andre Muniz, who will stand one-inch taller and have a two-inch reach advantage. However, Muniz is just 1-2 over his last three fights and is listed as a +390 underdog at FanDuel.

Yes, that means Aliskerov - at -590 via FanDuel - is the largest betting favorite on this weekend’s main card.
