Brian Ortega has only 1 loss on his record and that was his last fight against then champ Max Holloway back in December 2018. Ortega hasn’t fought after that as he has had to deal with multiple issues including injuries and sorting out his training camp. Chan Sung Jung aka “The Korean Zombie” is on a streak and his last win was against Frankie Edgar in December 2019.

Ortega (-190) goes in as the underdog as bookmakers have the Zombie (+155) as the favorite. Keep in mind that Brian Ortega is one of the best submission specialists in the UFC and someone who has a great chin. We would back Ortega for the win and also choose a submission finish. Keep this in mind if you are looking at a parlay.

The winner of this fight could very well be in line to challenge UFC featherweight champ Alex Volkanovski for the belt.

Casual fans may not be familiar with Cyril Gane as he hasn’t fought a lot in the UFC and his last fight was back in December 2019. Gane has a 6-0 MMA record and is one of the most dangerous heavyweights on the roster. He has trained with Francis Ngannou and can finish with a devastating KO or even a submission.

Gane is the heavy favorite at -600 on the betting odds and his opponent Ante Delija has odds of +400. We would back Gane to win and go for a KO method of victory.

Some of the other fights we would bet on include Katlyn Chookagian (+120) vs. Jéssica Andrade (-150); Jimmy Crute (-350) vs. Modestas Bukauskas (+265) and Thomas Almeida (-120) vs. Jonathan Martinez (-110).

Our betting picks to win the fight would be Jéssica Andrade, Jimmy Crute and Thomas Almeida.
