UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Barber Main Card Picks
Erin Blanchfield vs. Maycee Barber
Most of the early money has come for Blanchfield at $1.50. She is 13-2, and she is one of the more promising fighters in the UFC. She defeated Rose Namajunas last year, and that’s a win most fighters would like on their record.
Barber is 14-2 following a win over Katlyn Chookagian, and she also knocked out Amanda Ribas. However, Barber has suffered losses at the wrong times during her career, and this would be one of those times.
If she can’t beat Blanchfield, her title hopes are gone, and we’re picking Blanchfield to win. She is the stronger fighter, and she is rising the ranks in style.
Mateusz Gamrot vs. Ludovit Klein
We have always liked what Mateusz Gamrot has achieved inside the Octagon, and he should account for the tough Ludovit Klein at UFC Fight Night.
Gamrot is 24-3, and although he needs to bounce back following a loss to New Zealand’s Dan Hooker, he looked good when beating Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 299. That win holds him in good stead against Klein, who has been beating much easier opponents.
The Slovak is a tidy fighter, but Gamrot should have the advantage, and the $1.62 odds are worth including in UFC multis.
Billy Ray Goff vs. Ko Seok-Hyeon
There isn’t much between Goff and Ko in UFC markets, but we’re backing Goff to come out with his hand raised.
The 9-3 American lost his UFC debut in May of last year against Trey Waters, but he is being given another chance on Sunday, and he could show the same form he showed on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Ko has heavy hands, which is why he’s nicknamed “The Korean Tyson”. However, Ko’s lack of experience in the Octagon works against him, and Goff is our pick to win as the favourite.
Dustin Jacoby vs. Bruno Lopes
There has been good early betting support for Dustin Jacoby, who is always well-backed with UFC odds.
The 20-9-1 fighter got back to his best with a KO win over Vitor Petrino, which followed a KO loss to Dominick Reyes. We don’t think he’s at the same elite level he once was, but he’s good enough to knock out Lopes.
Lopes is 14-1 after beating Magomed Gadzhiyasulov by decision. It was a solid win, but he could struggle with the forward pressure of Jacoby, who is the $1.57 favourite. Punters will get better odds for Jacoby by KO, but include his head-to-head price in multis.
Zachary Reese vs. Dusko Todorovic
We haven’t been overly impressed by Zachary Reese, and given his odds of $1.32, we’re going to pass on backing him.
He got knocked out by Azamat Bekoev at UFC 311, and Todorovic is an easier fight, we don’t think there is much between them. Therefore, we’re happy with the $3.25 odds for the underdog at UFC Fight Night.
He has knockout wins over Jordan Wright and Maki Pitolo, so the power is there.
