A UFC veteran of more than ten-years, Neil Magny has fought the best of the best top-ranked contenders over the years and holds wins over the likes of Kelvin Gastelum, Robbie Lawler and Geoff Neal.
He is currently 3-3 in his last six fights and is coming off of a first-round TKO loss at the hands of Michael Morales that took place back in August.
In this Saturday’s main event, Magny will take on UFC newcomer Carlos Prates - a fighter who is currently on a ten-fight winning streak that includes three wins in the promotion.
Prates most recently knocked out Li Jingliang in the second-round of their UFC 305 bout that took place in August.
The Brazilian-born Prates is six-years younger than his opponent. However Magny will be the taller fighter and will also have a two-inch reach advantage.
On a fight card that contains almost exclusively lopsided odds, this bout has the biggest gap between opponents. Magny is a +520 at FanDuel underdog compared to Prates who is a -900 favorite to win.

Despite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Gerald Meerschaert winning his last two fights in a row by submission, he will enter this weekend’s co-main event as the +230 underdog at FanDuel.
He takes on Reinier de Ridder - a Dutch fighter who also boasts a BJJ black belt as well as a black belt in judo.
A former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight champion, this bout will be de Ridder’s UFC debut. He last fought against Magomedmurad Khasaev - whom he earned a first-round TKO over at a UAE Warriors event back in July.
De Ridder will stand two-inches taller than Meerschaert and will also have a two-inch advantage in reach. Reinier de Ridder is currently listed as the -310 favorite at FanDuel.

Since winning the Ultimate Fighter season 29 tournament, Ricky Turcios has had mixed success in the UFC. He currently holds a 2-2 promotional record and is coming off of a second-round submission loss to Raul Rosas Jr. that took place this past June.
He takes on Bernardo Sopaj - a fighter still looking for his first UFC win. Sopaj has only one fight under his belt for the promotion; having been defeated by Vinicius Oliveira via knockout this past March.
Turcios will have significant physical advantages in this matchup. He is the taller fighter by three-inches and he will also look to utilize a five-inch reach advantage.
Despite those stats, it is Bernardo Sopaj who is listed as an impressive -370 favorite at FanDuel to win.

Judo black belt Luana Pinheiro started her UFC tenure strong, winning her first three fights in a row. However, she now finds herself on a two-fight skid that most recently saw her get submitted by Angela Hill back in May.
Gillian Robertson, a BJJ black belt, has gone 4-1 over her last five fights and has recently earned back-to-back wins over Polyana Viana and Michelle Waterson.
Robertson is the taller fighter and will have a one-inch reach advantage over Pinheiro.
Momentum is on Robertson’s side and so are the oddsmakers, as she is currently listed as a -430 favorite to win at FanDuel - the second-largest betting favorite on the main card.

Even with his black belts in BJJ and taekwondo, Dusko Todorovic has struggled to put wins together in the UFC and is just 2-4 across his last six fights.
Todorovic lost his last fight by TKO, having suffered a knee injury during the bout. That fight took place in March 2023 and this main card kick-off fight will be his first of 2024.
He will take on undefeated newcomer Mansur Abdul-Malik, who is making his UFC debut this weekend following his second-round TKO win on the Contender Series back in August.
Abdul-Malik will stand only one-inch taller but somehow have a six-inch reach advantage over Todorovic in this contest. Abdul-Malik debuts as an impressive -390 favorite at FanDuel.
