UFC Combat Night: Whittaker versus De Ridder - Anticipated Match-up Forecasts
In the highly anticipated UFC event on July 26, 2023, Robert Whittaker and Reinier de Ridder will face off in a middleweight fight. This exciting matchup is set to take place at the same venue where Whittaker suffered a severe injury in his last fight.
Whittaker, one of the most complete middleweights in the world, boasts elite skills in every facet of MMA. The Australian contender has only lost to three men at 185 pounds, including Israel Adesanya and Khamzat Chimaev. His opponent, de Ridder, is a grappling wizard and former two-division champ in ONE Championship.
Meanwhile, in the flyweight division, Almabayev, ranked ninth, will aim to return to his dominant grappling ways after losing his 17-fight win streak. Almabayev is looking to bounce back from his first professional loss to Michael Page. The best bet for this fight is Almabayev at 1.85, according to UFC betting predictions.
Another promising fighter to watch is Ochoa, who picked up his first UFC win in June with a knockout victory over Cody Durden. Despite being an exciting, fan-friendly striker, Ochoa remains unproven at the highest level. Predictions favour Magomedov by knockout in this fight.
In the bantamweight division, Petr Yan will face Marcus McGhee. Yan has won his last two fights against Song Yadong and Deiveson Figueiredo, and McGhee is unbeaten in four UFC fights, with a 90% finish rate.
Krylov, a UFC veteran with 12 knockouts and 16 submissions to his name, will look to recover from his loss to Dominick Reyes in his last fight. However, the best bet for this fight is Guskov by knockout, according to UFC betting predictions.
Guskov has responded to his UFC debut loss with three straight victories. He will be looking to continue his winning streak in this event. An alternative bet is Guskov by KO/TKO/DQ at 3.55.
In the underdog category, Barriault is coming off a first-round knockout win in Montreal. He will face Magomedov, who is not a ranked contender at middleweight but is expected to rely on his speed and crispness to make him the last man standing in this fight. Predictions favour Magomedov by KO/TKO/DQ at 1.66.
Finally, for those who prefer safer bets, the alternative bet for the Whittaker and de Ridder fight is Under 2.5 rounds at 1.60. This bet is based on the expectation that both fighters will demonstrate their impressive skills, making for an exciting but potentially quick match.
