3 best bets to make
Budding lightweight contenders Rafael Fiziev and Mateusz Gamrot are set to headline UFC Fight Night this Saturday. We have the three best bets to make for the event.
Ranked featherweights Bryce Mitchell and Dan Ige will feature in the co-main event, while three other bouts round out the main card.
Below, you will find our three favorite UFC bets to make for this Saturday’s event:
This lightweight main event is an incredibly even matchup on paper, and the betting odds reflect that notion.
Fiziev is 6-2 inside the octagon, which includes a whopping six performance bonuses. The feared striker has knocked out Renato Moicano, Brad Riddell, and Rafael dos Anjos. He lost a narrow majority decision to Justin Gaethje in his most recent outing.
Meanwhile, Gamrot is 5-2 under the UFC’s banner, including four performance bonuses. His most notable victories have come against Arman Tsarukyan and Jalin Turner.
Both of these contenders are durable and entertaining when inside the octagon. In nearly 40 combined fights, the pair have been finished just once between them, which is why we like this fight to go the distance.
A $20 wager at -115 odds will yield a $37.39 payout.
Fan-favorite Bryce Mitchell is set to make his 2023 debut against fellow popular hard-hitter, Dan Ige. This co-main event features a pair of athletes hoping to climb into contention at featherweight.
Mitchell is 6-1 in the UFC, with a standout decision win over Edson Barboza. The Arkansas native lost via submission to Ilia Topuria in his previous outing. Meanwhile, Ige is 9-5 in the octagon, with all of his defeats coming by way of decision.
Ige is 2-0 so far this year, including a Performance of the Night-worthy showing against Damon Jackson back in January. Ige is an underrated grappler, owning a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a brown belt in Judo. We like Ige to keep this bout on the feet for its majority and out-strike Mitchell to victory.

A $20 wager at +175 odds will yield a $55.00 payout.
The first leg of this parlay features ranked women’s strawweights Marina Rodriguez and Michelle Waterson-Gomez. This is a rematch from a 2021 bout in which Rodriguez won via unanimous decision. We like the Brazilian to get the best of Waterson-Gomez once again.
The second leg of this parlay contains Mohammed Usman (the brother of Kamaru Usman) and Missouri’s Jake Collier. The former is 2-0 in the UFC with win over Justin Tafa in his last performance, while the latter is an unimpressive 5-8 inside the octagon. We believe Usman will be too much physically for Collier to handle over the course of three rounds.
