Morgan Charriere Wins by Decision (+150) vs. Nathaniel Wood
Since his arrival to the UFC, Morgan Charriere has seen nothing but tough fights through three appearances. With a 2-1 record, he's finished both of his wins while his lone loss came in a split decision against Chepe Mariscal. The Mariscal fight was promising given his ability to fight hard through all three rounds. This will be another tough test in facing Nathaniel Wood as his opponent is veru well-rounded and fundamental from everywhere.
Still, Morgan Charriere mirrors many of the skills that Nathaniel Wood uses during his fights and can execute them slightly faster and with more power. He's the more active striker and with an 83% takedown defense rate, he should be dictating where this fight takes place. It's also worth noting that Wood's last seven consecutive fights have gone to a decision and the over of 2.5 Rounds is set at -280. Let's roll with the betting favorite to get the unanimous nod on the scorecards for the plus money value.
Alexia Thainara Wins by Submission (+400) vs. Molly McCann
Molly McCann, as always, will be incredibly motivated fighting in front of her home country fans, but her recent performances have left a lot to be desired in terms of her putting together a solid fight plan. She's been submitted twice over her last four fights and didn't look her best in the striking during her last loss to Bruna Brasil. Alexia Thainara, on the other hand, is the No. 1 pound-for-pound ranked woman in Central and South America and has been waiting for this UFC opportunity for quite some time.
Alexia Thainara is known for her submission grappling with six of her 11 pro wins coming by way of submission. While her competition certainly hasn't been at the UFC level, she's at her physical peak as a fighter and will be ultra-aggressive during this debut. If she can lean on her jiu jitsu and exploit McCann's spotty 39% takedown defense, she should be able to find a submission before this fight hears a final bell. She has great odds for the finish and we'll gladly back the decisive grappling advantage in this one.
Sean Brady Wins by Decision (+150) vs. Leon Edwards
There's no question that Leon Edwards has been disrespected throughout his career and this could be another case as he's the +136 betting underdog. Edwards has seen similar fighters to Brady in shorter boxers who favor a wrestling style. Edwards has made a name off stuffing takedowns and forcing inferior strikers to stand and trade with him. If that's the case here, we should see Leon Edwards cruise to a decision win.
However, Sean Brady had a ton to learn from his loss to Belal Muhammad and has been a different fighter since then. He makes no excuses and is intent on constantly improving, so we should see the best version of himself coming in on Saturday. He's also a new father and is even more motivated coming into this fight on a rather shorter, surprise notice. We like his odds as the favorite to grind this one out behind constant submission attempts and control on the ground.
