UFC Fight Night Undercard Predictions

Michel Pereira (+285) vs Shara Magomedov (-300)

Pereira is coming off a win, but he looks finished as a serious contender. The cardio isn’t there anymore, and he still makes the same reckless mistakes that have plagued him throughout his career.

Shara isn’t a devastating one-punch knockout artist, but he throws volume, keeps a strong pace, and consistently wins exchanges. That’s a nightmare style for Pereira at this stage.

As the fight goes on, Shara should steadily take over. This is a terrible stylistic matchup for Pereira.

Nazim Sadykhov (-223) vs Matheus Camilo (+217)

Camilo is fairly limited. His striking isn’t particularly dangerous, and while he had some wrestling success against Slava Borshchev, that’s not saying much considering Borshchev’s defensive grappling issues.

Sadykhov should be stronger, more physical, and more dangerous everywhere. His striking carries more power, he’s stronger in the clinch, and every one of his UFC victories has come by finish. Sadykhov should find another stoppage here.

Asu Almabayev (-233) vs Charles Johnson (+223)

Johnson appears to be regressing. He barely got past an aging Bruno Silva, suffered a knockout loss to Alex Perez, and was getting beaten badly by Kavanagh before finding a fortunate finish.

His takedown defense remains a major issue, and that’s exactly where Almabayev thrives. Expect Almabayev to secure takedowns, control the fight on the mat, and rack up minutes. This looks like a straightforward wrestling-heavy win for Almabayev.

Brunno Ferreira (+245) vs Ikram Aliskerov (-257)

Aliskerov should roll here. Ferreira has knockout power and some submission ability, but Aliskerov possesses many of the same weapons while being the more complete fighter overall.

Ferreira’s grappling probably won’t be a major factor because Aliskerov can wrestle effectively himself. On the feet, Aliskerov carries real power and technical advantages.

The only UFC loss on Aliskerov’s record came on short notice against Robert Whittaker. Ferreira’s path is landing a huge shot, but I don’t see it happening often enough. Aliskerov is the pick.

Abus Magomedov (-117) vs Michal Oleksiejczuk (+113)

Oleksiejczuk has quietly won three straight since changing gyms. He’s become more disciplined, more controlled, and his striking remains his biggest weapon.

The concern is still the wrestling. His offensive wrestling isn’t much of a factor, and that’s exactly where Abus can potentially take over.

The problem for Abus is the cardio. If Oleksiejczuk survives the opening round, the momentum should swing heavily in his favor. I’ll take the underdog here.

Farman Hasanov (-170) vs Eric Nolan (+163)

Nolan feels like a short-notice replacement-level fighter more than a true UFC prospect. He has some knockout wins, but most have come against questionable competition.

Hasanov isn’t incredibly experienced either, but he’s 2-0 in LFA with finishes both on the feet and through ground-and-pound. The athleticism and aggression stand out.

Neither man is particularly sound defensively, which makes a finish very likely. I’ll side with Hasanov in a fight where someone probably gets stopped.

Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev (-426) vs Julius Walker (+400)

This is a brutal matchup for Walker. He was just knocked out by Dustin Jacoby, and now faces a fighter who can finish fights virtually anywhere. Yakhyaev especially loves getting fights to the mat, where he already owns five submission wins.

His striking defense isn’t great. He carries his hands low and absorbs shots, but he’s proven durable and hasn’t been knocked out yet.

I’m not convinced Walker has the power to expose that weakness. Yakhyaev by finish is the most likely outcome.

Nursulton Ruziboev (-203) vs Andrey Pulyaev (+194)

Pulyaev survived against Gautier largely by circling on the outside and avoiding major damage, but he still clearly lost because he offered almost no offense.

His only UFC win came when his opponent completely exhausted himself. Even in that fight, Pulyaev was getting dominated early.

Ruziboev should be the better striker, and he can mix in wrestling if needed. He’s simply the more complete fighter. Ruziboev is better everywhere.

Kaan Ofli (+144) vs Javier Reyes (-150)

Reyes had an exciting UFC debut, scoring a knockout win and showing exactly what kind of fighter he is. He’s wild, aggressive, and carries real power.

Ofli struggled badly in his first two UFC appearances but has since rebounded with two straight wins, including a submission victory.

Power clearly favors Reyes. Ofli’s biggest threat comes through his submission game, and Reyes will need to be careful not to leave openings. I don’t think this fight reaches the scorecards. I’ll take Reyes by knockout.

Daniil Donchenko (-431) vs Theodor Berggren (+400)

Berggren has good cardio and solid striking, but historically he’s struggled with stronger wrestlers and experienced opposition.

Donchenko disappointed bettors by failing to finish Alex Morono after a pair of violent finishes entering that fight, but the striking remains dangerous.

The concern is whether Donchenko slows down late because Berggren has shown an ability to find finishes in the second half of fights. Still, Donchenko has proven he can win decisions if needed and should be fine here.

Bekzat Almakhan (+138) vs Jean Matsumoto (-144)

I like Matsumoto in this matchup. Almakhan scored an early knockout over Katona, but his other two UFC appearances both went the distance and resulted in losses. He has legitimate power, but the volume isn’t particularly high.

Aleksandre Topuria showed a blueprint by wrestling him, securing takedowns, and doing damage from top position.

Matsumoto has lost two of his last three, but those defeats came against quality opponents in Rob Font and Farid Basharat. More importantly, he showed excellent wrestling against both Miles Johns and Font.

I expect Matsumoto to lean heavily on that wrestling advantage and grind out a win over Almakhan.

UFC Fight Night Main Event: Rafael Fiziev -108 vs Manuel Torres +104

This is a close fight, and the odds reflect it. Fiziev has spent the last several years fighting elite competition, but the results haven’t been there, going just 1-4 in his last five. He’s also absorbed a ton of damage during that stretch, including the knockout loss to Mauricio Ruffy.

Fiziev will be at a height and reach disadvantage here, and the knockout power that once made him so dangerous doesn’t seem to be the same. He can wrestle against opponents with poor takedown defense, but Torres isn’t an easy guy to ground consistently.

Torres has advantages in several key areas and is still ascending. I’ll side with the younger fighter.
