The main event features a middleweight showdown between Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho, along with other matchups between seasoned fighters and up-and-coming prospects. The question remains – will experience triumph or will the new blood show their prowess?

Here are some top betting picks for the upcoming event:

Straight Bets:

  • Tabatha Ricci (-115): Expected to outperform Angela Hill in the strawweight matchup due to her strong grappling skills and increasing reputation.
  • Ryan Loder (+142): Predicted to secure a win against Robert Valentin in the middleweight final of The Ultimate Fighter 32, leveraging his NCAA All-America background.
  • Josiane Nunes (+180): Favored to cause an upset against Jacqueline Cavalcanti in the women’s bantamweight fight with her power and fighting approach.

Prop Bets:

  • Caio Borralho -5.5 Points Spread (-125): Expected to have the upper hand over Cannonier with his versatile skills and youthful energy, as Cannonier may be past his prime.
