UFC Fight Night Betting Analysis
There are plenty of upcoming UFC fights to bet on this weekend; from the preliminary card prospects to the main event with two flyweight contenders. What are some numbers to pay attention to before you bet on some fights?
Josh Quinlan vs Adam Fugitt
These two are struggling in the UFC right now and are most likely fighting to keep their job. They are both 1-2 in their three career UFC fights and look to put on a spectacular performance to prove their worth to the brass of the company.
Fugitt is a wrestler, averaging 3.43 takedowns per 15 minutes. Quinlan has a 60% takedown defense that will be tested on Saturday night. Also, both of these guys average more significant strikes absorbed than they land per minute.
Miles Johns vs. Douglas Silva de Andrade
This is a great matchup on the main card with two talented bantamweights looking to move closer to the division rankings. They both have similar builds and will look for a finish. Andrade will notoriously take shots to give them out, which could cost him against a younger and quicker Johns.
Johns has an underrated grappling skill set, averaging 1.15 takedowns per 15 minutes and a rock-solid 85% takedown defense. The key will be whether or not Andrade can close the distance and land big shots without getting taken down.

No injuries have been reported to the UFC or ESPN.

UFC Fight Night Betting Preview
Making UFC Fight Night betting predictions is very difficult to do because anything can happen in the octagon at the highest level. The UFC does a great job of putting the best against the best in their company and a sports bettor needs to understand what the betting lines say and how styles clash in a fight.
According to UFC odds, the biggest betting favorite this weekend is Ikram Aliskerov at -1700 against the +1000 short-notice replacement Antonio Trocoli.
The closest fight on paper is the Quinlan vs. Fugitt matchup we mentioned above; which is one of the reasons it’s one of the most interesting upcoming UFC matches this weekend.
For this broad betting preview of this event, it’s important to go over the reason that styles are so important for bettors to understand. In MMA, there is a wide range of skills that UFC fighters have. Some are lifelong wrestlers, and some are lifelong Taekwondo specialists.
The fight always starts with both athletes standing, but wrestlers have a huge advantage over someone with novice skills. Tons of outcomes can happen with different clashes of styles. A trend we see in wrestler vs. wrestler matchups is that the fight turns into a standup battle, for example.
Take a look at the breakdowns of the co-main and main event this weekend at Insiders Betting Digest to see an example of how to break down a specific fight.
UFC Fight Night Betting Prediction
Our official UFC Fight Night betting predictions for key matchups are: Quinlan will beat Fugitt as the -120 betting favorite, Andrade will beat Johns as the +120 underdog, and Nathan Maness will get a finish over Flick at -285.
These are just a few betting predictions to keep in mind while figuring out who to bet on this weekend. UFC predictions can’t be made without any work, but a lot of them can be coin-flips. This is why this sport is the toughest to bet on; literally anything can happen in the octagon on fight night.
