Tai Tuivasa vs. Marcin Tybura - Heavyweight Division

Number-nine-ranked UFC heavyweight Tai Tuivasa is in big need of a win this weekend after having lost his last three fights in a row.

He takes on the number-ten-ranked Marcin Tybura in the main event.

Tybura is also coming off of a loss, having dropped his most recent fight to Tom Aspinall, who KO’d Tybura in the first round of their bout last July.

Poland’s Tybura will stand one inch taller and have a three-inch reach advantage over Tuivasa. However, despite losing three straight, Tuivasa is still the slight betting favorite at -118 over Tybura’s -102.

Bryan Battle vs. Ange Loosa - Welterweight Division

TUF winner Bryan Battle has won his last two fights in a row and will now co-main event this Saturday night against Ange Loosa - a fighter who also finds himself amidst a two-fight win streak.

The battle is coming off of an impressive second-round submission win over AJ Fletcher - a man that Loosa also recently beat along with Rhys McKee.

These two fighters are the same age but the taller Bryan Battle will also have a three-inch advantage in reach and is rightfully listed as the -180 favorite to win.

Ovince St Preux vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu - Light Heavyweight Division

The oldest fighter on this main card is also the biggest betting underdog, as the 40-year-old Ovince St Preux is listed at +380 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

He takes on -500 favorite Kennedy Nzechukwu, an up-and-coming contender who will stand two inches taller than his opponent and who will also have a three-inch reach advantage. 

Both men are coming off of a loss in their most recent bouts and are looking to bounce back into the win column this Saturday.

Pannie Kinzaid vs. Macy Chiasson - Women’s Bantamweight Division

Number-ten ranked women’s bantamweight looks to jump into the number-six spot currently held by Pannie Kinzaid this Saturday.

Both of these women are coming off of a loss and are both 2-2 over their past four fights each.

Chiasson, listed as a -205 favorite at DraftKings, will stand four inches taller than Kinzaid and will enjoy a four-inch reach advantage. 

Gerald Meerschaert vs. Bryan Barberena - Middleweight Division

Gerald Meerschaert, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has had mixed success recently and has gone just 1-3 over his last four fights. He is coming off of a split-decision loss against Andre Petroski that took place at UFC 292 last August.

Bryan Barberena is also 1-3 in his last four, with those three losses coming in a row. He most recently dropped a decision to Makhmud Muradov last July.

Meerschaert already has the advantage in the grappling department but will also enjoy height and reach advantages this weekend. He is currently listed at -230 at DraftKings.
