UFC Fight Night 243 takes place on Saturday from Accor Arena in Paris, France, and it should be an exciting card. Let’s take a look at free play on each of the main card fights to make your Saturday a winning one.
Renato Moicano vs Benoit Saint-Denis
Moicano +235 / Saint Denis -290 // Total Rounds: 2.5
Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis face off in a key lightweight battle and this should be an exciting fight. Moicano comes into this fight with a 19-5-1 record overall and in April he was able to knock out Jailin Turner late in the second round. He was outstriking Turner 36-16 when he finished the fight. Moicano is a really good fighter and I believe he’s being overlooked in this fight. He has the power and also can get his opponents in a bad position and fnish with a submission. Moicano is going to get the job done here and pull the upset. Back Moicano on the money line.
Nassourdine Imavov vs Brendan Allen
Imavov -205 / Allen +170 // Total Rounds: 2.5
Nassourdine Imavov and Brendan Allen face off in a middleweight battle and many believe the winner of this game could be the next title contender. Allen has won seven fights in a row although the last game was by split decision. In the four fights before his last fight he was able to win by submission. Allen is a good striker and also can lock in a submission attempt. Imavov is talented himself but there is no way I am laying this type of number with him. Back Allen as an underdog to cash here.
William Gomis vs Joanderson Brito
Gomis +240 Brito -298 // Total Rounds: 2.5
Joanderson Brito and William Gomis face off in a big time battle, and this might be the most exciting fight on the entire card. Brito is a pretty big favorite and for good reason. Brito has some insane power and he’s going to use that power to his advantage in this fight. Gomis has won three fights in a row since coming into the UFC, but this is a big step up in competition. Brito knocked out Jack Shore in his last fight and it’s going to be much of the same here. Brito is going to knock out Gomis. Back Brito by knockout.
Kevin Jousset vs Bryan Battle
Jousset +142 / Battle -170 // Total Rounds: 2.5
This fight between Kevin Joussett and Bryan Battle is going to comedown to where the fight is fought. If the fight is on the feet, Battle is going to find success but Jousset will some success if the fight gets on the ground. Battle is elite with the takedown defense and that is going to be the difference here as he’s going to find success. Battle is going to grind out a victory here with his power. Back Battle on the money line.
