UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Murphy Fight Card Odds and Picks

Last Updated on May 16, 2024 1:23 pm by Erwin Noguera

After an entertaining event last time out, the UFC is taking the trip back to Las Vegas, to give us quite a fun fight night back in the UFC Apex, as we get a card with a lot of talented fighters all over its 12 MMA Bouts.

Even after 3 fights got canceled, this fight night managed to get up to 12 fights on it, and it will be headlined by the Featherweight clash between Edson Barboza and the undefeated Lerone Murphy, in a clash that could be a total barnburner.

Our co-main event is quite an odd one, as we see the rise of two contenders in the Welterweight division, as Khaos Williams and Carlston Harris clash in the cage.

Between our seven prelim fights and the five main event cards, we have a lot of fighters who are trying to make their name known, so it’d be quite a good event for those who want to see the new up-and-comers in the division as they rise to the top.

We also get seven prelims to kickstart the afternoon and make things as exciting as possible, with a lot of talented fighters trying to make their way up in the rankings.

UFC Fight Pass

UFC Fight Night: Edson Barboza vs. Lerone Murphy

Why Bet on Edson Barboza?

Barboza is a legend of the sport, but most importantly, and perhaps most relevant to this write-up, he is an old dog who can still hang with the toughest.

His last two wins have been against Yusuff and Quarantillo, two very difficult fighters to take on at 145 andit’s his win over Yusuff that we want to highlight… Yusuff exploded in the first round, looked for that finish and Barboza survived and thrived throughout the rest of the fight, it was a beautiful display of heart, toughness, and adaptability because that was not the first firefight that Barboza has been in, and considering his current opponent, it sure as hell won’t be his last.

Barboza is well known for his outstanding kicks, but he’salso just overall a ridiculously dangerous striker. An understated aspect of his whole game though is his wrestling and grappling, he might not be looking for a lot of takedowns when he fights, but he is well-versed on the ground, having taken down Yusuff three of four times in the final round of a high pace main event is testament to his cardio and conditioning, despite the concern surrounding his age.

Why Bet on Lerone Murphy?

Murphy is coming off a string of strong victories in the UFC, with his most recent one being against Culibao, and wegotta say, Murphy is one of those dangerous prospects that we all should keep an eye on.

Lerone Murphy is a rapidly improving fighter who adds weapons to his arsenal every single time he comes out. He was originally a boxer with outstanding punching power and speed, he was ridiculously slick on the feet, but after each fight, he added more kicks, more movement, and wrestling, he has slowly become a very well-rounded fighter, and this makes his upcoming bout against a very tested veteran who is still here to stay in Barboza incredibly fascinating.

There is a slight catch to all of those additional things added into his arsenal though, and that’s each time something has been added, the next opponent has something else to prepare for. We firmly believe that Murphy’s rise to this position and this fight is not from his outstanding skill level, but from the incredible repertoire of techniques he has acquired and learned over his UFC career.

Unpredictability is king when it comes to new fighters, we have seen new fighters add things to their game that have completely changed and accelerated their growth, and that’sexactly what we have seen for Murphy.

Final Betting Analysis: Edson Barboza vs. Lerone Murphy

Murphy has a wide variety of strong strikes he uses effortlessly, from standard boxing combinations to a very snappy high kick, to strong grappling and control on the ground, hehasn’t mastered any of these things, but since they are added along every time he fights, his opponents are rarely prepared.

This is not going to be the case for Barboza, who is very, very well-rounded and well-versed in almost every aspect of MMA.

Barboza is going to be a true test on the feet for Murphy, and we think it’s going to be the toughest fight of his career, which will possibly break his undefeated streak.

UFC Fight Night: Khaos Williams vs. Carlston Harris

Why Bet on Khaos Williams?

Williams is a strong, powerful striker who is such a threat on the feet, especially early on when he wants to push a nasty pace and land those devastating punches.

He is known for being a bully, crashing forward with crazy power and aggression. There is no clean technique coming from Williams, it is mostly wild, wild punches and he is confident in his ability to knock out his opponent, that’s what makes him a dangerous threat to his opponents, that confidence.

Why Bet on Carlston Harris?

Harris is primarily a grappler with a solid grappling base, and whilst he has faced his fair share of dangerous strikers, we believe Williams’ power is something different.

Now, Harris has the potential to take this fight to the ground, we know that according to UFC stats, he has an 80% takedown defense, but there has not been enough wrestling in his fights (by his opponents) to fully prove that his takedown defense is that great, it’s only been used sparingly against him since most of his fights are absolute wild exchanges and beautiful displays of violence on the feet.

Williams’ propensity to head hunt could lead to an opening for a level change by Harris, but it’s a risky thing to do because any punch that lands on Harris is going to hurt him, and considering the age factor here, it is possible his chin isn’t going to hold up well against the power of Williams.

Final Betting Analysis: Khaos Williams vs. Carlston Harris

The right hand is Williams’ best weapon, his right overhand or hook is going to be the one that knocks out Harris if it lands, but that’s all he is, a powerful right-side puncher, and if Harris times a takedown well, all of that threat is gone.

Now, Harris was getting rag-dolled and outwrestled by Wells when they fought, and whilst that isn’ta great look for Harris, we don’t think Williams has the wrestling capabilities that Wells has, so the main submission threat from Harris in this fight is going to come from the clinch, and it’s just a matter of if he gets into that position or if he gets his head blasted over and over by powerful punches from Williams.

We think that Harris will find his momentum and force a finish in the second round.

UFC Fight Night: Ramiz Brahimaj vs. Themba Gorimbo

Why Bet on Ramiz Brahimaj?

Brahimaj is coming back after two tough years away, and the reason why it’stough is that he has been dealing with a spinal injury, and boy do we empathize with that.

Now, his injury is mostly C-Spine and shoulder area nerve damage, this is terrible for a fighter because it effectively eliminates your ability to comfortably strike, sprawl, wrestle, andundertake stuff, everything that you see in a fighter typically comes from shoulder rotation and all that stuff, so for Brahimaj to be out for two years, dealing with all of that, does not give us a lot of confidence in him being 100% coming into this fight against Gorimbo.

Why Bet on Themba Gorimbo?

Gorimbo is riding some momentum coming into this fight, as he is coming off a lightning-quick KO over Pete Rodriguez. Rodriguez is, however, one of the worst fighters in the UFC and that KO means nothing in the grand scheme of things,it’s just an additional win on a record with barely any weight to it.

Gorimbo is going to be a lot more confident in his boxing, though, since that win. The feeling of getting knockouts is an addictive one and we think he’s going to be using his incredible reach advantage to look to get another KO this weekend over the possibly rusty Brahimaj.

Gorimbo is a very well-rounded fighter who honestly has a lot of potential to be a star, he has excellent boxing, and honestly very good wrestling and grappling, and we do think if the fight does go to the ground, Gorimbo has the fight IQ to notice setups coming, neutralize them and remain on top in control, landing ground and pound or just advancing to his submission positions.

Final Betting Analysis: Ramiz Brahimaj vs. Themba Gorimbo

Brahimaj is a dangerous grappler who thrives on the ground, he is honestly only dangerous on the ground, but the problem is that Gorimbo is very good on the ground himself, at least good enough to know what is being set up, and it’s on the ground where Brahimaj has his only chance to win.

Unfortunately for Brahimaj, it’s going to take some work to get the fight to the ground and Gorimbo is more than willing to keep the fight standing, so honestly, we justdon’t think Brahimaj is going to be as well-rounded or as effective as he needs to be to get a win here.

The most likely scenario though is Gorimbo keeps this fight standing and overwhelms Brahimaj on the feet, because he probably wants to chase another KO since that feeling is notoriously addictive.

UFC Fight Night: Adrian Yanez vs. Vinicius Salvador

Why Bet on Adrian Yanez?

Yanez is coming off two painful back-to-back KO losses. Whenever a young fighter comes into the UFC, tears through the division, andthen hits a losing skid, it’s always a concern to any fan or pundit.

However, we do think that leg kick KO is anomalous to the UFC, it rarely happens and we don’tthink that Salvador is much of a leg kicker anyway so the threat isn’t there.

Now, Yanez is still a dangerous opponent for anyone to take, he still has incredibly technical MMA boxing, and that’s going to be on full display this weekend. Yanez is so fluid and yet tricky on the feet, he’s very good at gauging range and firing away from different angles, as well as timing his shots of his opponents’ striking attempts, everything involving striking exchanges will most likely be in his favor.

Why Bet on Vinicius Salvador?

Salvador is a very funky and unorthodox fighter, and whilst that always brings positive attention to him, we also think that has been a product of failure for him as cleaner fighters outbox him.

His stance is fairly loose, his chin is in the air and his shell is rather loose, and that’s not good news, especially if he’s facing a vicious fighter like Yanez.

Salvador thrives in chaotic fights though, he is awesome and makes it dangerous for his opponents to fight in the pocket, but his style emanates a lack of self-preservation. He is a kill-or-be-killed kind of fighter in our opinion, and we firmly believe that when he got dropped numerous times in that first round against Victor Altamirano, it only showed us, and any future opponent that he is very hittable, his head is right there and the only reason it wasn’t there for Vergara was due to the significant difference in height and reach.

Final Betting Analysis: Adrian Yanez vs. Vinicius Salvador

Our only concern about Yanez is his ability to not get carried away and show his chin too much, because whilst Salvador is yet to get a win in the UFC, he still has had some mild striking success against fighters like Altamirano and Vergara, and itwouldn’t take a lot for Salvador to find his chin.

Salvador moving up to 135 could make him a lot more interesting in terms of being able to explode more often and having more power behind his punches, but we also think it means he is dealing with harder-hitting fighters, and with the accuracy and boxing skill set of Yanez, we just think he is going to get outdone here.

UFC Fight Night: Angela Hill vs. Luana Pinheiro

Why Bet on Angela Hill?

Hill is coming off a very strong win over Denise Gomes, and it was honestly such a brilliant performance by someone who a lot of people tend to ignore.

Angela is an incredibly diverse fighter, she is tenacious on the feet, highly capable of stringing together strong combinations from all ranges, and as she closes the distance, she’s good at tying up her opponent in a clinch and landing awesome knees and elbows.

This is all Hill and her cumulative experience in the Octagon against a wide range of different fighters and styles, and it’s clear to us that her preparation for a lot of her fights involves solid planning and backup plans, because whilst her record reflects a rough run through her career, her level of competition is insane.

Why Bet on Luana Pinheiro?

Pinheiro is a danger to Hill in the grappling department though, especially in those transitions from standing to ground, she utilizes hip throws relatively well and could make this fight ugly on the ground, but we don’t think there is a major submission threat here.

Her style is predominantly control and ground and pound, both things that Hill has experience in dealing with, although she still will lose the round if Pinheiro executes her game plan well.

Pinheiro has power in her hands, she could potentially make Hill a little bit frozen and hesitant on the feet once she lands that overhand right that she loves to throw early, but shedoesn’t throw it often enough to lead to a significant-finish, she’sa very low volume, high impact striker and that could play in the favour of Hill.

Final Betting Analysis: Angela Hill vs. Luana Pinheiro

Hill will have a striking advantage in this fight, she throws a lot of volume at high speed toward her opponent and they do land effectively, with a slight edge in reach, I do see her having a bit more success on the feet here especially since Pinheiro does not have a lot of head movement or striking defense.

Pinheiro could make this fight dangerous for Hill on the ground, but we have seen a few times now that Hill is very good at the basics of takedown defense and quickly getting back to a standing position.

She is not complacent on the ground or in that transition to the ground, and we think any sort of failed takedown attempt from Pinheiro is going to fuel Hill a lot more since Pinheiro only has a few kinds of takedowns.

UFC Fight Night: Tom Nolan vs. Victor Martinez

Why Bet on Tom Nolan?

Nolan made his debut against knockout artist Nikolas Motta, and honestly, that is a dangerous fight for anyone to take, but it probably made sense to the matchmakers since both fighters are prolific knockout artists.

Tom Nolan does finish his opponents very quickly a lot of the time, and we do think he has a massive advantage on the feet against Martinez since his opponent isn’t exactly a big threat on the feet, and his inactivity over the past few years leaves some questions hanging in the air.

Nolan has a reach and height advantage here, but the most prominent advantage will be with his reach where he can string together gorgeous straight combinations to decent effect, and that’s what he’s known for, he’s got awesome boxing andhe is very confident in his punching power.

Why Bet on Victor Martinez?

Martinez is coming off a KO loss also, but it was by Jordan Leavitt, and that’s just a painful look on anyone’s record to get knocked out by someone who is not known for his striking.

Martinez is overall a good striker, he has very fast hands, but he has the tendency to leave his right hand far from a block position. It’s more of a parry position in front of him instead of beside him, and he tends to lower that hand when taking a back step, and we cannot help but see the Southpaw striker in Nolan land that left hand to the chin of Martinez.

If Martinez got dropped by Rosales on DWCS, then by Leavitt, we justdon’t know if he has the chin to withstand the battering that comes from Nolan.

Final Betting Analysis: Tom Nolan vs. Victor Martinez

Nolan made the simple mistake when he fought Motta of being in the pocket without care, and those kinds of mistakes are easy enough to fix. Considering Martinez is not the same kind of threat on the feet compared to Motta, we think that gives Nolan a bit more freedom to string together combinations and look great on the feet, as he was meant to be since his whole career until that loss to Motta.

UFC Fight Night: Oumar Sy vs. Tuco Tokkos

Why Bet on Oumar Sy?

Sy comes into this fight a little bit more prepared, at least physically and cardio-wise, than his replacement opponent Tokkos. He is coming off a string of beautiful fights in various promotions, but mostimportantlyhe’s been relatively tested on KSW, which is one of the better promotions to come out of the European world of MMA.

Sy is a long and rangy fighter who has dangerous head kicks and dangerous wrestling skills that he uses well. Whilst he has a massive reach advantage over his opponent, he doesn’texactly strike in any traditional way. You don’t see him throw a lot of jabs, he mostly uses his reach to lock in takedowns, and the moment the fight goes to the ground, expect him to find a position where he can reign down heavy ground and pound.

Why Bet on Tuco Tokkos?

Tokkos seemingly came out of nowhere this last week, and that one thing that blasted us in the face was the record of his second most recent opponent, Brian Jackson.

Tuco Tokkos is overall a decent fighter with some strong wins under his belt, but the main thing going against him here is preparation time. Whilst he does have a fair bit of experience under his belt, we justdon’t think he’s ready for someone like Sy on short notice.

He is a relatively well-rounded fighter with great wrestling and decent striking, but wejust think all of that is going to be possibly negated by the substantial reach advantage of Sy.

Final Betting Analysis: Oumar Sy vs. Tuco Tokkos

We would love to see Sy strike a bit more, but most of his fights are him taking his opponents down and landing ground and pound, and if he does that against a replacement fighter in Tokkos. We expect him to dominate and completely shut him down since it would take preparation to get out of funky positions that Sy puts his opponents in, and wedon’t know if Tokkos has that wrestling background to handle the larger and longer opponent in Sy properly on the ground.

UFC Fight Night: Tamires Vidal vs. Melissa Gatto

Why Bet on Tamires Vidal?

Vidal is coming off a tough loss against Rendon, and it was a bit of a boring fight in all honesty, with Vidal being somewhat effective on the feet with big and powerful attacks, but ultimately succumbing to the wrestling of Rendon.

Outside of her loss to Rendon, Vidal looked fun against Pascual, then again, a lot of fighters of a reasonably low caliber can look good against Pascual, so we think that was one of those “set up for success” fights.

Still, the aggression and threat of a knockdown/out from Vidal will be fairly prevalent during this fight. But that’s about it, she’s a powerful striker and quite dynamic, but her takedown defense is going to be a problem.

Why Bet on Melissa Gatto?

Gatto was scheduled to fight Dudakova a few weeks ago. However, that fight fell off, which is probably good for Gatto cozshe’s ready for a fight regardless, She was still somewhat fresh off camp and was going to probably employ the same strategy against Vidal that she would have against Dudakova, and was to wrestle.

Melissa Gatto’s wrestling has always been a bit of a highlight for her. She’s physically strong and can do well in advantageous positions, holding her opponents down and either landing ground and pounding or just grinding them out, exhausting them for a large chunk of the round.

She is also very dangerous on her feet. She has deceptively quick and powerful punches which she uses to both damage her opponents and also as an opportunity to raise their guard so the level change is more easily accessible.

Final Betting Analysis: Tamires Vidal vs. Melissa Gatto

Gatto is a great wrestler and Vidal has clearly shown major defensive issues in the wrestling department, so to put it bluntly, it just seems like Vidal has a puncher’s chance, and if she does land those punches, we do think the tides can change a little in her favor, but it would only take one takedown for Gatto to be in full control for the rest of that round.

No matter what way you cut this slice of cake, we think Gatto’s wrestling is going to be a major problem for Vidal, and Vidal’s only way to win this fight is to keep it standing and just brawl, make it look gritty in there and potentially freeze up Gatto’s ability to wrestle cleanly.

UFC Fight Night: Abus Magomedov vs. Warlley Alves

Why Bet on Abus Magomedov?

Magomedov may have had a tough last two bouts, but because he faced Strickland and Borralho, that’s ridiculous levels of competition for a newcomer.

Abus had one major issue exposed when he fought Strickland and that was his cardio, everything else he looked incredible at. He has a lot of power in his hands, he’s long and dynamic with his attacks and he has great wrestling, but it was his stamina that made him fall apart.

During his Borralho fight, despite losing that bout, those cardio issues didn’t seem as present. He has seemingly learned to pace himself and he honestly looks to be a decent up-and-comer now that he’s facing slightly more adjusted competition instead of straight-up killers.

Why Bet on Warlley Alves?

Alves is an exceptionally quickstarter,he is an absolute firecracker, and if he can catch Magomedov early, that’s going to be massive given the size difference.

Everything Alves throws comes with silly amounts of power, and he isn’t necessarily a headhunter. He chops at the legs and body occasionally and is quite diverse. We think those leg kicks are going to be problematic for Magomedov.

Alves is a tough, tough fighter, and whilst he is coming off a savage knockout by Aliskerov, we think that Alves is still one dangerous fighter to take on. Maybe not as technical as Borralho, but he is an absolute monster when it comes to aggression, and that alone could exhaust Magomedov.

Final Betting Analysis: Abus Magomedov vs. Warlley Alves

Magomedov has a massive reach advantage over Alves, and that’s going to be prevalent when he lands those beautiful strikes at range.

We are not completely counting out Alves here, we even think he is being a bit underestimated. However, we believe Magomedov has a lot more tools in his arsenal that are going to be boosted by that reach advantage, and it does seem that Alves is fairly susceptible to down-the-pipe shots, something that he does well.

UFC Fight Night: Piera Rodriguez vs. Ariane Carnelossi

Why Bet on Piera Rodriguez?

Rodriguez is a relatively well-rounded fighter coming off a tough loss against Gillian Robertson. There is very little doubt that she is going to have a major advantage in the wrestling department, as a lot of her fights involve her taking down her opponent. It is what she does exceptionally well, and considering how dreadful Carnelossi’s takedown defense is, it will be Piera’s imperative duty to take down her rival.

Rodriguez is highly diverse with her striking, both in terms of range and variability of attack, she has excellent fundamentals with boxing, landing combinations in the pocket and moving away, and one main thing she does extremely well is that jab. It’s a long, lunging jab, and the reason we point it out is because it,somewhat, masks the takedown. She uses that jab over and over, and because that motion to jab is almost similar to a level change, she doesn’t necessarily feint it to get to the level change/takedown position, but her opponents just think another is coming.

Why Bet on Ariane Carnelossi?

Carnelossi is an interesting one to talk about because she had a fun start to her career with an extremely entertaining fight against Liang Na. However, if you look closely, she is just a fun fighter, not a great one.

Her punching power is,probably, her biggest asset because everywhere else she is not worth talking about, and it’s that punching power that will be evident when she inevitably clips Rodriguez. Carnelossi is one-dimensional, but boy is she scrappy and wedon’t think Rodriguez can afford to get crazy with her on the feet because she’dbe hurt by something in the pocket.

Final Betting Analysis: Piera Rodriguez vs. Ariane Carnelossi

The problem with Rodriguez is that, as her rival, she’s a little bit one-dimensional. She doesn’t do too well on the feet and Carnelossi does havevery strong strikes, as she’sabsolutely a power puncher.

Rodriguez hand work is going to be a great setup against Carnelossi. She will attack her with long, prodding jabs, and after a few of those, go for a level change,because it’s that long lunge that looks like a level change. To put it bluntly, anything to get a level change and a takedown will be highly effective against Carnelossi.

Considering that Carnelossi’s power is generated from a very still-standing stance, it wouldn’t take much to take her off her feet. We got Rodriguez winning this one, and it should hopefully be a fun fight.

UFC Fight Night: Alatengheili vs. Kleydson Rodrigues

Why Bet on Alatengheili?

Alatengheili is a very aggressive and powerful fighter. Everything he throws has so much speed and power behind it, and whilst there might not be a lot of volume behind those punches, he shouldn’t be underestimated on the feet because of his explosiveness.

He also uses that explosive power to wrestle, and he is fairly good on the ground, being able to maintain a strong position at all times and just land heavy ground and pound. While he is a powerful fighter, he doesn’t display that power with reckless abandon, he tends to be a bit of a counter-puncher, his hands are often low or loose, which lures his opponent in to strike, in which he then propels himself forward with a quick flurry of dangerous punches. After all that, there’s a reset and he waits to lure his opponent in again.

Why Bet on Kleydson Rodrigues?

Rodrigues is very well rounded, he is very quick on the feet, but most of all, he doesn’t do anything too crazy to be lured into a potential counter-flurry by Alatengheili.

He loves to kick at range, he is so dynamic and can switch up the angles of the attacks so quickly that he could just keep kicking Alatengheili until the fight is over, as long as he keeps a safe distance from a retaliatory attack.

However, the biggest danger is the ridiculous hand speed of Rodrigues, his boxing speed is ferocious and he doesn’t necessarily overthrow, everything is clean and tight. His focus and timing are something to look out for too, he is so calm but intense in the cage.

Final Betting Analysis: Alatengheili vs. Kleydson Rodrigues

Rodrigues is very quick at throwing out his kicks and we do think if he attacks the legs early enoughhe is going to be effective, as Gutierrez was when he fought Alatengheili.

Alatengheili is going to have to mix it up in this fight to get ahead. He must rely heavily on his wrestling to get a win here because we have seen that Rodrigues is mostly a kickboxer/striker. If Alatengheili can push a nasty pace and pressure, that completely removes Rodrigues’ ability to kick.

Our prediction for this fight is a long and drawn-out Rodrigues win, but it’s a tough one because we haven’tquite seen that much greatness from him.

UFC Fight Night: Emily Ducote vs. Vanessa Demopoulos

Why Bet on Emily Ducote?

Ducote is coming off a relatively strong win against Yoder, she was very capable of stuffing all of those takedown attempts coming her way and matching the tenacity of Yoder on the feet.

We believe the UFC didn’tquite build her up properly, giving her opponents like Godinez and Hill very early on in her UFC career.

Ducote is a fairly well-rounded fighter who does well on her feet. However, most importantly, her grappling is relatively good, having been capable of defending the takedowns of Godinez, which isn’t a small feat since Godinez is well known for her wrestling capabilities. That ability to defend takedowns is massively important when dealing with someone like Demopoulos, whose main threat in most of her fights is her takedowns and grappling attacks.

Why Bet on Vanessa Demopoulos?

Demopoulosis is coming off a win against Murata, but it was a fairly unimpressive performance with her getting taken down a lot. Although she looked fairly good on the feet with powerful single attacks, we don’t quite know how effective she is going to be against a volume-heavy fighter like Ducote.

Demopoulos has a few tendencies as a fighter that are great. She is fairly active in the guard off her back, throwing up submissions very quickly, but the problem with that is that, nowadays, if you can’t lock in a submission, then you are losing the fight.

Final Betting Analysis: Emily Ducote vs. Vanessa Demopoulos

Ducote has a slight advantage on the feet due to her speed and volume, but on the ground, it’s looking like Demopoulos has the advantages there, as she does have great instinct on when to lock in a submission or shift the hips.

As for our prediction, we are very split but still leaning towards Ducote to win this one, but it’s the slightest lean one can imagine.
