UFC 275: Glover Teixeira vs. Jiří Procházka

Why Bet on Glover Teixeira

Teixeira made his pro debut in 2002. After going 2-2 to start his career, Teixeira went on a 20-fight win streak.

Joining the UFC in 2012, Teixeira lost to Jon Jones in 2014 for the UFC light heavyweight title.

Since then, he is 11-4 and is currently on a six-fight win streak.

Why Bet on Jiří Procházka

A Czech National Championship gold medalist in Muay Thai, Prochazka made his pro debut in 2012.

He won the RIZIN light heavyweight title in 2019, which was in the middle of his current 12-fight win streak.

Making his UFC debut in 2020, Prochazka last fought in May 2021, beating Dominick Reyes via knockout.

He has won 10 straight fights via some form of KO.

Teixeira vs. Procházka Final Betting Analysis:

On the ground, Teixeira is one of the most dominant athletes in MMA.

In his last six contests, Teixeira’s landed nine takedowns. During his six-fight win streak, the 42-year-old has submitted four of his opponents.

Against Blachowicz, he found his opening against the bigger opponent and managed to slither his way onto his back.

If Teixeira can manage to take Prochazka down, we could see another epic comeback.

Prochazka on his feet, however, is dangerous.

His body is made of stone, as seen by 25 of his 28 wins coming by way of some form of knockout.

Teixeira, however, has been known to take punishment as well as dish it.

Prochazka has barely been touched, and Teixeira needs to find a way to get through his armor.

Despite Teixeira’s striking ability, if Prochazka stays on his feet it may not end well for the former.

The new blood in Prochazka was strapped to a rocket and has entered the title picture quicker than most fighters.

There is a reason for that, as he can suffocate any fighter put in his way.

UFC 275: Valentina Shevchenko vs. Taila Santos

Why Bet on Valentina Shevchenko

Valentina Shevchenko is arguably the most dominant fighter on the UFC’s roster as she’s undefeated at flyweight and has defended her belt six times.

The champion started her reign showing off her impressive striking skillset but has shown over time that her takedown and ground game is just as good, which makes it difficult for any challenger to stand a chance.

Why Bet on Taila Santos

A Dana White’s Contender Series alum, Santos had her 15-fight unbeaten streak snapped in 2019 against Mara Romero Borella.

She has since won four in a row, being her last fight a submission win in November against Joanne Wood.

Taila Santos will fight for the title for the first time in her career and has her hands full.

This statement doesn’t mean that Santos is not on the level to fight the top in the UFC, but it just shows the difficulty of the challenge she has to face in the current champion.

Shevchenko vs. Santos Final Betting Analysis:

This is an easy pick, as there is no reason to doubt the current champion.

The way to beat Shevchenko is likely to catch her and get a flash KO, and unfortunately, Taila Santos does not have that kind of power.

With that, Shevchenko will be able to fight her fight and mix in the wrestling and striking and just piece up the Brazilian.

UFC 275: Weili Zhang vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Why Bet on Weili Zhang

Weili Zhang will look to snap a 2 fight losing streak against the last fighter she beat, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, in one of the greatest MMA fights of all time.

Zhang won by split decision to defend the Strawweight crown in March of 2020, but is now off of two losses to former champ, Rose Namajunas.

Zhang is likely being undervalued in this spot off of two losses in a row, both filled with variance.

Why Bet on Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Jedrzejczyk has been on the shelf for two-plus years now and will be looking to avenge the loss.

The boogey-woman has never stopped being a dangerous opponent for anybody in the division and she is coming back to show exactly that.

Zhang vs. Jedrzejczyk Final Betting Analysis:

The former champion is the far superior striker, posting 10 knockouts in 21 victories, and in a 3 round fight should be able to push a pace and land the more damaging shots against Jedrzejczyk similar to their first fight.

While 5 rounds could favor Jedrzejcyk, this is a 3 round bout, and Zhang’s gas tank will be less of a question.

The lenght of this fight is likely to give the edge to Zhang.

UFC 275: Rogério Bontorin vs. Manel Kape

Why Bet on Rogério Bontorin

Bontorin is coming off a very close split decision loss to Brandon Royval, a superior fighter, in our opinion.

Bontorin is not a truly polished striker by any means, but he does bring real power.

Where Bontorin has a large edge is in his developed wrestling and grappling game.

Why Bet on Manel Kape

Manel Kape has had a surge of late, winning his most recent two fights via KO.

The KO of Zhalgas Zhumagulov was clean, but the fight before that should be addressed.

It went down as a flying knee KO of Ode Osbourne, but most agree that was a bad stoppage, and the knee did not land flush, despite creating a knockdown.

Bontorin vs. Kape Final Betting Analysis:

The wrestling and grappling portions of this fight will be Bontorin’s.

Those portions of the fight will be more significant than the stand up portions, which will likely go to Kape.

Bontorin also has the power wild card in the stand up, in totality, we have an extremely live underdog, and it will be an exciting match to watch.

Our pick is to risk it with the underdog in this one, as Bontorin has way better chances than the odds would say.

UFC 275: Jack Della Maddalena vs. Ramazan Emeev

Why Bet on Jack Della Maddalena

Jack Della Maddalena might not be the most well-known name ahead of UFC 275, but that might change at the pace he’s going.

The 25-year-old Australian has had quite the impressive MMA career to date.

After losing each of the first two fights of his career, he’s rattled off 11 consecutive victories ahead of Saturday.

Why Bet on Ramazan Emeev

Prior to joining the UFC, Ramazan Emeev was one of the most dominant middleweights in his home country of Russia.

After all, he’s a former two-time M-1 Global Middleweight Champion, owning four successful defenses — the most in the title’s history.

After defeating Sam Alvey in his UFC debut, Emeev moved over to the welterweight division.

The 35-year-old veteran fighter has gone 4-2 in six fights switching divisions, already doubling his career loss total.

Maddalena vs. Emeev Final Betting Analysis:

It’s usually a smart idea to ride the hot hand, which is why Della Maddalena defeating Emeev at UFC 275 is our pick for the fight.

It’s hard not to like someone who’s won 11 straight fights and Della Maddalena has proven that he has all the tools to be a star.

Emeev has also never lost two consecutive fights in his career, meaning he’ll do everything in his well to end Della Maddalena’s winning streak.

It’s going to be a tough task due to the way that Della Maddalena’s been fighting though.

UFC 275: Brendan Allen vs. Jacob Malkoun

Why Bet on Brendan Allen

Brendan Allen (18-5) followed his successful Contender Series appearance by winning five of his first six Octagon appearances, the lone loss coming to the surging Sean Strickland.

Though a short-notice upset defeat to Chris Curtis slowed his momentum, he returned to the win column in Feb. 2022 with a dominant submission finish of Sam Alvey.

Why Bet on Jacob Malkoun

The Octagon debut for Jacob Malkoun (6-1) proved brief and disastrous, as Phil Hawes knocked him stiff just 18 seconds into the first round.

Undeterred, he went on to prove himself a legitimate addition to UFC’s roster, beating Abdul Razak Alhassan and A.J. Dobson.

Allen vs. Malkoun Final Betting Analysis:

Malkoun may be 2-1 in the Octagon, but it’s fair to say that Malkoun hasn’t lived up to the potential his pedigree promised.

His boxing’s been a non-factor of late and he’s been content to use that ADCC-caliber ground game to hold down opponents instead of chasing submissions or ground-and-pound.

While it’s been sufficient against one-dimensional fighters like Alhassan and underdeveloped ones like Dobson, it doesn’t seem like the sort of approach that’ll carry him past the well-rounded and experienced Allen.

UFC 275: Seung Woo Choi vs. Joshua Culibao

Why Bet on Seung Woo Choi

Seung Woo Choi (10-4) rebounded from a winless (0-2) UFC start with three consecutive wins, among them an upset of Youssef Zalal and a 97-second knockout of Julian Erosa that earned him “Performance of the Night.”

He looked poised to make it four straight after dropping Alex Caceres early, but ultimately succumbed to “Bruce Leroy’s” submission attack late in the second round.

Why Bet on Joshua Culibao

“Kuya’s” short-notice UFC debut proved brave, but ill-advised, resulting in a submission loss to Jalin Turner in Auckland.

Things have worked out a bit better for him in his proper weight class, fighting Charles Jourdain to a highly entertaining draw and out-classing Shayilan Nuerdanbieke in successive efforts.

Choi vs. Culibao Final Betting Analysis:

The Caceres fight showed that while Choi has clearly improved since first joining the promotion, he’s still got some kinks to iron out.

He headhunts too much, lacks variety in his combinations, and his submission defense still isn’t quite up to snuff.

Luckily for him, Culibao isn’t well equipped to exploit all that.

In the end, Choi will out-works him in a fun 15-minute stand up battle.

UFC 275: Hayisaer Maheshate vs. Steve Garcia

Why Bet on Hayisaer Maheshate

Maheshate (6-1) — one of several Chinese standouts to appear on the most recent Contender Series season finale — entered the main event as a massive underdog to unbeaten Achilles Estremadura.

Though he suffered an early knockdown, he proceeded to take over the fight en route to claiming both a decision win and a UFC contract.

Why Bet on Steve Garcia

Missing the Bantamweight limit on Contender Series kept Steve Garcia (12-4) from claiming a UFC contract, and his subsequent LFA debut saw him miss the Featherweight limit as well.

He’s now settled at 155 pounds, where he’s dropped a decision to Luis Pena and battered Charlie Ontiveros into submission.

All nine of his stoppage wins have come by form of knockout.

Maheshate vs. Garcia Final Betting Analysis:

Garcia’s got the right skillset for this match.

Beyond being far more experienced than Maheshate, his equal height, superior reach and aggression should keep the former from finding his usual long-range groove.

He also showed off some wrestling skills against Ontiveros that, though not particularly elite, are likely more than Maheshate’s dealt with during his brief career.

UFC 275: Jake Matthews vs. Andre Fialho

Why Bet on Jake Matthews

The return to Welterweight for Jake Matthews (17-5) paid immediate dividends, resulting in an impressive 6-1 run.

This led to a clash with fellow rising contender Sean Brady, who handed Matthews the third submission defeat of his career.

Why Bet on Andre Fialho

Four consecutive knockouts earned Andre Fialho (16-4) a UFC debut against Michel Pereira, who pieced him up at a distance to secure a unanimous decision victory.

Fialho’s been quite a bit more successful since stopping Miguel Baeza and Cameron VanCamp in bonus-winning fashion to up his career knockout total to 13.

Matthews vs. Fialho Final Betting Analysis:

While both men do have well-rounded skillsets, this one boils down to where it takes place.

Matthews’ top game is as fearsome as ever, and if there’s one question Fialho hasn’t yet answered in his three Octagon appearances, it’s how he deals with high-level takedowns and works off of his back.

Conversely, Fialho’s sheer power gives him an edge on the feet that Matthews’ steady technical improvement can’t overcome.

Matthews showed a vulnerability to left hooks in the Brady fight that Fialho is more than equipped to exploit.

It is likely going to be an early finish for Fialho.

UFC 275: Kyung Ho Kang vs. Batgerel Danaa

Why Bet on Kyung Ho Kang

Kyung Ho Kang started off well in his last UFC outing but was overwhelmed in the grappling department by Rani Yahya, eventually losing the fight by unanimous decision and snapping his three-fight streak.

Why Bet on Batgerel Danaa

Batgerel Danaa was on the wrong end of a spinning backfist from Chris Gutierrez in March to suffer his first defeat since 2019, which also snapped a three-fight win streak.

Kang vs. Danaa Final Betting Analysis:

This is an explosive matchup between two polished strikers.

Batgerel Danaa in particular boasts big knockout power, having won each of his three UFC victories by first-round KO.

Despite losing his last fight, Kyung Ho Kang showcased impressive striking skills and will likely want to keep this one on the feet.

Getting back in the win column will be crucial if they want to climb up the rankings of the UFC Bantamweight Division, but it is likely that Batgerel’s power gives him the edge in this fight.

UFC 275: Silvana Gómez Juárez vs. Na Liang

Why Bet on Silvana Gómez Juárez

Suarez’ last appearance was against Vanessa Demopoulos at UFC 270.

She floored Demopoulos before entering her guard and being submitted by an armbar.

This was poor judgement from Suarez, who jumped recklessly into the guard of the superior grappler.

Why Bet on Na Liang

Na Liang in her explosive debut against Ariane Carnelossi, where they had the first fight of the night on the prelims of UFC 261: Masvidal vs Usman 2.

Carnelossi overwhelmed Liang, and was clearly the fitter fighter. Regardless of the outcome, Liang managed to show some tremendous grappling and some decent striking too.

Gómez Juárez vs. Liang Final Betting Analysis:

This is a hard outing for Suarez, who is a full 6 inches shorter than Liang.

Striking exchanges will be led by the Chinese native, as she’ll hold a huge reach advantage.

Liang also has a considerable grappling advantage, and her larger frame will allow for easier trips and throws from clinch, as well as submission attacks from the ground.

Suarez has the power, but holds no physical advantages over Liang, and will also find a hard time in the grappling to boot.

UFC 275: Joselyne Edwards vs. Ramona Pascuai

Why Bet on Joselyne Edwards

Joselyne “La Pantera” Edwards stands in at 5’8″ and is fighting at 145 lbs.

The orthodox fighter looks to add a win to her career record of 10-4-0.

Why Bet on Ramona Pascuai

Ramona Pascual comes into this bout with a record of 6-3-0. The 33-year-old weighs in at 145 lbs and comes in at 5’7″.

The southpaw fighter stretches 66″.

Edwards vs. Pascuai Final Betting Analysis:

Pascuai is going to have a tough outing against Edwards, who is a lengthy striker with solid grappling.

Although she’s on a 2 fight skid, those two opponents were strong wrestlers who held her down for boring decisions.

Joselyne is a scrapper, she will beat Ramona to the punch, and Ramona doesn’t have the grappling pedigree to nullify her on the ground.
