UFC Fight Night Moicano vs. Saint Denis Predictions

Renato Moicano vs Benoit Saint Denis - Lightweight Division

Renato MoicanoTALE OF THE TAPEBenoit Saint Denis
35Age28
5 ft 11 inHeight5 ft 11 in
72 inReach73 in
19-5-1Record13-2, 1 no-contest

Born in France, former marine and current judo black belt Benoir Saint Denis looks to bounce back after suffering just his second career loss at the hands of Dustin Poirier back in March.

Prior to the Poirier loss, Saint Denis had won five in a row - a streak that included wins over Thiago Moises and Matt Frevola.

In what will be his first UFC main event, Saint Denis will take on the always impressive Renato Moicano.

Holding black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and muay thai, Moicano is currently in the midst of a three-fight winning streak. He most recently defeated Jalin Turner via second-round TKO at UFC 300 in April.

Moicano is the older of the two fighters and will have a one-inch shorter wingspan. Though more experienced in the UFC octagon, the Brazilian fighter will enter this main event as a +215 underdog at FanDuel.

Nassourdine Imavov vs Brendan Allen - Middleweight Division

29Age28
6 ft 3 inHeight6 ft 2 in
75 inReach75 in
14-4, 1 no-contestRecord24-5

Number-four ranked middleweight Nassourdine Imavov will go toe-to-toe in the co-main event against the number-eight ranked Brendan Allen.

With almost double the MMA experience as his opponent, BJJ black belt Brendan Allen recently defeated Chris Curtis in what was Allen’s seventh win in a row. Prior to his decision win over Curtis, Allen had four-straight submission finishes.

After a loss to Sean Strickand and no-contest fight with Chris Curtis, Nassourdine Imavov has renounced with back-to-back wins over Roman Dolidze and Jared Cannonier. His TKO win over Cannonier took place just three months ago.

Imavov is one-year older and will stand one-inch taller. He is the favorite in the matchup, currently listed at -230 at FanDuel.

William GomisTALE OF THE TAPEJoanderson Brito

13-2Record17-3-1

Another fighter born in France, William Gomis is 3-0 since signing with the UFC.

He takes on Joanderson Brito - a fighter who is on a five-fight winning streak of his own, with all five of those wins coming via stoppage within the first two rounds.

Despite his four-inch height advantage, Gomis will only have a one-inch edge in reach. 

Although he will clearly have the hometown crowd behind him, Gomis will be entering the octagon this Saturday as a +240 underdog at FanDuel.

Kevin Jousset vs Bryan Battle - Welterweight Division

Kevin JoussetTALE OF THE TAPEBryan Battle
31Age30
6 ft 2 inHeight6 ft 1 in

10-2Record10-2

Undefeated in five fights (with a 2-0 UFC record), France’s Kevin Jousset looks to put away welterweight TUF tournament winner Bryan Battle.

Jousset holds a second-dan black belt in judo and earned a submission win in his UFC debut prior to his most recent decision win over Song Kenan last December. 

Battle is coming off of a disappointing no-contest against Ange Loosa in which the former could not continue due to an accidental eye poke. Prior to that performance, Battle had won two in a row - both via stoppage in less than two rounds.

Jouseet is one-year older and one-inch taller but Battle will have the two-inch advantage in reach. It is Battle who is listed as the -180 At FanDuel favorite in the matchup.

It appears that stepping in on short-notice to replace the injured AJ Cunningham has greatly affected the odds for Gabriel Miranda - who will enter the octagon this weekend as a +480 underdog.

He is 1-1 in the UFC and is coming off of a first-round submission win over Shane Young that took place last September.

Morgan Charriere is listed as the -800 favorite at FanDuel to win despite being the shorter fighter in both height and reach. He is also coming off of a split-decision loss at the hands of Chepe Mariscal that took place back in April.

Could this be the time to bet on the underdog?

Fares ZiamTALE OF THE TAPEMatt Frevola
27Age34

15-4Record11-4-1

Kicking off the main card is a fight that is sure to be considered for fight of the night.

Fares Ziam has now won three straight and is coming off of a split-decision win over Claudio Puelles that took place back in February. He is 5-2 in the UFC.

Fan-favorite Matt Frevola was recently enjoying a three-fight winning streak of his own - three wins that all came via stoppage. However, he was knocked out by this card’s main event fighter Benoit Saint Denis in the first-round of their November 2023 bout.

Ziam is listed as the -128 favorite at FanDuel, and for good reason. He will stand three-inches taller, have a four-inch advantage in reach and is seven-years younger than Frevola.
