Tai Tuivasa vs Marcin Tybura
Tuivasa -125 / Tybura +105 // Total Rounds: 1.5
Tai Tuivasa and Marcin Tybura face off Saturday in a heavyweight showdown for the main event of UFC Fight Night 239. After so much success early in his UFC career, Tuivasa is suddenly struggling, and he has lost three fights in a row. In Each of those three fights, he has also been finished. Tybura is also coming off a loss, and that came against Tom Aspinall in July 2023. It was only one minute and 13 seconds into that fight that he was knocked out. The last three fights, Tuivasa’s opponents have had a reach advantage, and that isn’t the case in this fight. Tuivasa is finally going to get his power back here, and he will secure the victory. Back Tuivasa on the money line.
Bryan Battle vs Ange Loosa
Battle -166 / Loosa +140 // Total Rounds: 2.5
Bryan Battle and Ange Loosa face off in a welterweight battle for the co-main event, and both guys think they can quickly climb up the rankings with a win in this fight. Battle at times still looks like raw, but he also continues to show up improvement each time he enters the octagon. Loosa has won two straight fights, and in his last fight against Rhys McKee he finished with six takedowns. Battle is going to do a good job of not getting taken down, and that will be the difference as he gets the job done. Back Battle on the money line.
Ovince Saint Preux vs Kennedy Nzechukwu
Saint Preux +380 / Nzechukwu -500 // Total Rounds: 1.5
Ovince Saint Preux and Kenndey Nzechukwu face off in a light heavyweight battle, and this is a fight I love. Saint Preux can knock out anyone, but that isn’t going to be what happens here. Saint Preux has lost three of his last four fights and his only win was against a ghost of Mauricio Rua and even that was a split decision victory. In the three losses, he has been knocked out. Nzechukwu is going to finish him again here. Back Nezechukwu by knockout.
Christian Rodriguez vs Isaac Dulgarian
Rodriguez +145 / Dulgarian -175 // Total Rounds: 2.5
Christian Rodriguez and Isaac Dulgarian face off in a featherweight battle, and this is a key fight for both players. Rodriguez won two fights during the 2023 season, including to Raul Rosas Jr. The problem was he missed weight in both fights, so he was forced to move up a weight class. Rodriguez is the more talented fighter, and even though he went up a weight class, I don’t get why he’s this big of an underdog. Back Rodriguez on the money line.
Pannie Kianzard vs Macy Chiasson
Kianzard +170 / Chiasson -210 // Total Rounds: 2.5
Pannie Kianzard and Macy Chiasson face off on Saturday in a women’s bantamweight showdown. This is a pretty big number to lay with Chiasson, but that is still the play here. Chiasson has had some struggles as of late, but her losses have come to Raquel Pennington and Irene Aldana. She is the more talented fighter, and she’s going to control the fight here. Back Chiasson to win by decision.
