Reinier de Ridder vs. Brendan Allen - Middleweight Division

This Saturday in Vancouver, the spotlight will be shining on the Middleweight division. Debuting in a main event after a nailbiting wait, Reiner de Ridder returns to the Octagon to face Brendan Allen, who has replaced Anthony Hernandez after an undisclosed injury.

De Ridder is coming in hot off the back of a win of slim margins against former champ Robert Whittaker in July, awarded the win by split decision and stretching his unbeaten record out to four victories. The three prior all fell within the distance, some of which were emphatic.

Cardio is the superpower Allen is most known for, and there’s no doubt this could come in clutch if the fight ends up going the distance. His Dutch opponent is no stranger to a drawn out brawl, winning three of three fights in his professional MMA career that have ended in a final bell. 

De Ridder will be looking to dominate early, using clinical takedowns and his size difference to wear down Allen. If Allen can delay this control and avoid a submission, a late-round rally is possible.

With more experience in his corner, and enough power to grapple a mountain into submission, we have de Ridder to take this fight. The Dutchman is currently sitting at -210 with FanDuel.

Kevin Holland vs. Mike Malott - Welterweight Division

Veteran fighter Kevin Holland is looking to stamp out his recent inconsistent spate of losses this Saturday, and reinstate the danger of his long-range striking game. “Trailblazer” is an enigma to decode for any opponent that faces his untempered ferocity and ostentatious striking. However, his defensive flaws leave much to be desired. Could his wrestling weakness and top control prove to be his Achilles' heel?

Deadly Canadian finisher Mike Malott, or “Proper” is set to face Holland, fighting in front of a roaring Canadian crowd. With the power of a trained boxer and the laser-like precision of a Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Malott will be looking to scalp Holland to mark his breakthrough into the welterweight rankings. 

If Holland is a conventional oven, then Malott is a pressure cooker: Holland will be looking to keep a cool head, pushing distance between himself and Malott, and striking when it matters. Malott on the other hand will look to squeeze the life out of Holland from the get-go, testing the endurance and takedown defence of Holland. A brawl would be the worst eventuality for Holland, allowing Malott to close the gap and get into a destructive finishing range.

With the home advantage and the clash of fighting styles, our money will be on the Proper to win this one, priced at -125 with FanDuel.

Marlon Vera vs. Aiemann Zahabi - Bantamweight Division

Former title challenger and imperishable veteran Marlon “Chito” Vera will be looking to reclaim lost territory this weekend after a two-fight lapse of quality against elite competition. The Ecuadorian has this labelled as a must-win to maintain a place in the title conversation. Vera has been a notoriously slow burner when he gets into the Octagon, analysing opponents in the eye of the storm and becoming increasingly dangerous. The obvious hazard here is that his time can be cut short before he reaches boiling point.

Aiemann Zahabi, approaches the cage on a wave of wins, slowly climbing his way up the rankings. With renowned coach (and brother) Firas Zahabi as his guiding force, Aiemann will be trying to remain composed and cerebral at all times. Technical precision will be the go-to strategy here for Zahabi, and with the backing of his home crowd in Canada shouting his name, there will be momentum on his side.

Has Zahabi got the potential to outsmart Vera with his technical prowess and build an early lead? Cutting Vera off early before he relaxes into the action will be a necessary precaution. It’s either this or “Chito’s” stagnated pressure towards the late game, paired with his granite chin, will prove too much for Zahabi.

Although Vera has an undoubtable history steeped in power and domination, our money is on the surging Zahabi to snap this one up, priced at -136 with FanDuel.

Manon Fiorot vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius - Women’s Flyweight Division

“The Beast” Manon Fiorot is a technically flawless striker with expert knowledge in Muay Thai and an impenetrable takedown defence. Coming from her first UFC defeat to date in a title shot, the French fighter is determined to insert her name into the rankings by asserting  her dominance

Up against Fiorot is Jasmine Jasudavicius, the “junkyard dog” of Canada. Jasudavicius is well known for excelling on pure grit and outrageous physicality. Considering she is on a five-fight winning streak, the momentum is definitely on her side. With powerful grappling, tenacity and relentlessness to force opponents into uncomfortable situations, the Canadian sees this as the perfect shot to force her name into the championship conversation on home soil. But forcing number two-ranked Fiorot out the way is no easy feat.

A classical striker vs. grappler showdown. A victory for Fiorot relies on maintaining a distance during the fight and making use of her precise striking ability. The challenge for Jasudavicius will be forcing the fight into the trenches, securing a takedown and dominating the mat. 

Fiorot’s pedigree is undeniable, and her elite striking is inescapable. Our money is on former title challenger Manon Fiorot for this one, priced at -265 with FanDuel.

Kyle Nelson vs. Matt Frevola - Lightweight Division

This is Kyle Nelson’ fresh new start in the Lightweight division after moving up a weight class to bolster his durability. A deadly striker with the flair to put on a show, the Canadian will be looking to make a name for himself in his divisional debut.

Looking to drive away the competition is Matt “The Steamrolla” Frevola. He leads with an aggressive wrestling-centric style and consistent determination to press for a knockout blow. He’s been part of some notorious clashes over his professional career, and is looking for a win after a recent slip in form: two consecutive knockouts. The “Steamrolla” sturdiness has been put to question for the first time.

Stakes are high for both men. Frevola has to prove that his bullish style can work at the top level, and Nelson needs to back up his transition to a notoriously crowded lightweight division. Viewers are expecting a high-octane fight, with both Nelson and Frevola possessing the power to end the clash early.

Considering the unflinching aggression of Frevola and his dominant mass over Nelson, our money is set in stone for power-wrestler Matt Frevola to win this one, priced at -128 with FanDuel.
