UFC Fight Night 216 Odds: Main Card, Prelims, Analysis and Predictions

The Ultimate Fighting Championship will host its final event for 2022. Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland will fight in the main event.

Cody Brundage is a professional mixed martial artist. He is originally from Michigan and trains in Colorado at Factory X Muay Thai. His professional record is 8-2, with 7 early victories and only twice his fights reached the decision of the judges. Bruindage's record in UFC is 2- 2.

Michal Oleksiejczuk made his middleweight debut four months ago against Sam Alvey. Olekseychuk's professional record in MMA is 17-5, in UFC 5-4, with 12 knockout wins. He is still training in Poland in the “Ankos MMA Poznan” gym.

Michal Oleksiejczuk will fight Brundage. Bruindage has an arm span advantage of 5 cm. Olekseychuk has a huge arsenal of percussion techniques with his hands. Cody exits on short notice.

Arman Tsarukyan is a 25-year-old fighter from Armenia. He joined the UFC in 2019. Tsarukyan lost to Islam Makhachev in the first fight of the season. After that, he won 5 fights in a row before losing to Mateusz Gamrot in June.

Damir Ismagulov is a 32-year-old fighter from Kazakhstan. He was the champion in M-1 in 2017 and made his UFC debut in December 2018. Damir is versatile fighter who relies on standing work.

Tsarukyan vs Ismagulov is a pragmatic fight without escalations. Damir IsMagulova has won all of his fights by decision. Arman has been involved in mainly passive fights lately.

Sayid Nurmagomedov is on a three-fight winning streak. He is a former champion in the WFCA organization and won the MMA World Championship in 2013.

Saidoocube Kakhramonov is 10-2 and looking to claim his third win in the UFC Octagon.

Said Nurmagomedov is a more accomplished MMA fighter than Kakhramonov. In the standing position, Said will tear Kakhamronov's legs and body. Kachram on the ground will probably give Said problems.

Jake Matthews is a 28-year-old fighter from Australia. He joined the UFC in 2014 and last fought in June 2022. Matthews won by knockout in the 2nd round. He has a powerful overhand punch and BJJ skills.

Matt Semelsberger is a 30-year-old American fighter. He joined the UFC in August 2020 and has had 6 fights in the company. Matt is versatile and controls opponents well on the ground and in clinch. His last fight was in July 2022 against Alex Morono.

Jake Matthews is heavily overrated by bookmakers. Semelsberger will impose a difficult duel on Matthews. Semelberger works better in the rack than Matthews, who often makes mistakes on the ground.
