Main event
Lightweight · 5 rounds
Market differences are not a ranking of best bets. Conviction is editorial; a close matchup does not automatically mean poor data.
Fights shown: 10/10 · Analyses available: 9/10
Tactical key
A 25-foot cage shortens a four-inch height edge. Moicano wins if fence sequences become the rear-naked choke that accounts for 11 of his wins. Nolan wins if the 0.54 knockdown rate lands before that fence.
What limits this estimate
Renato Moicano: Close the four-inch height gap on the fence and turn it into the rear-naked choke that has produced 11 wins.
Tom Nolan: Land the 0.54 knockdown rate before the fence, or steal minutes at length the way the Ziam fight stayed upright.

Clinch kicks and volume versus judo throws and submission rate. Same height, adjacent ranks (#6 vs #7), ten years between them. Luana 55 / Yana 45.
What limits this estimate
Yana Santos: Keep the clinch as a striking phase, not a throwing phase. Land the 4.41 per minute, use the extra inch of reach, and make Luana win minutes she would rather spend on a throw.
Luana Santos: Turn 51% takedown defence into the mat, threaten the keylock and the choke that beat Lisboa and Agapova, and do not spend three rounds in a kickboxing clinch at 2.53 SLpM.

Tactical key
First-round chaos and finishing equity versus lower absorption and a younger chin question. Erosa 57 / Lee 43 — conviction capped because the favorite was knocked out in March.
What limits this estimate
Julian Erosa: Force a first-round scramble. Guillotine or strikes — the Rodriguez/Ramos/Elkins window — before a younger man can make it a clean kickboxing round.
Jeong Yeong Lee: Survive round one, use 72% takedown defence and the lower absorption, and steal a decision the way Santos just did to him — which means he has to be better than he was in that fight.

Tactical key
Muay Thai accuracy versus wrestling and five rear-naked chokes in a 25-foot cage. Marshall 60 / Bolaños 40.
What limits this estimate
Gaston Bolaños: Stuff the first layer, make Marshall strike at 34% accuracy, and win the kind of decision he has already won three times in the UFC.
Francis Marshall: Shoot early in the small cage, chain to the back, and look for the same rear-naked choke that beat Silva and that Le used on Bolaños. Do not spend the round missing 66% of his strikes at kicking range.

Cleaner wrestling and 1.2 Sub/15 versus round-one knockout power and a 31% striking defence. Petroski 55 / Bekoev 45 — both on skids.
What limits this estimate
Andre Petroski: Get the shot in before the counter lands. 86% takedown defence blunts Bekoev's 3.48 rate. 1.2 Sub/15 is the finish if the neck is there the way it was for Maximov. A decision is the other win — Vieira and Budka — if the choke is not there.
Azamat Bekoev: Keep it standing for the first two minutes. Petroski's last two knockout losses were over before a wrestling round existed. 4.57 SLpM and the Loder/Reese knockouts are the argument. Do not spend the fight in a body lock at 0.0 Sub/15.

Tactical key
Szabová brings a 12-0 Oktagon résumé and recent finishes into a 25-foot cage; Lisboa owns the only UFC rate line, and it is a 2-2 sample with two late finishes against her. The lean is the undefeated debutante — conviction stays low because her Octagon sample is empty.
What limits this estimate
Tainara Lisboa: Make it ugly and long enough that a debutante's first Octagon night becomes a decision. 1.67 TD/15 is the tool, even at 31% accuracy. Clark choke in round three and Oliveira decision are the only UFC win templates.
Lucia Szabová: Use the judo base and the finishing habit that stopped Bolander, Faria and Fernandes. Do not assume a five-round pace — Pudilová was five rounds; this is three.

Klein owns 5.79 TD/15 and two UFC roster nights — both knockout losses behind 39% striking defence. Kropschot is two inches longer with a one-night Contender Series decision at 7.93 SLpM and zero roster bouts. The lean is the longer man; conviction stays at 3.
What limits this estimate
Nick Klein: Turn it into the Souza fight or a decision built on 5.79 TD/15. He cannot win a kickboxing match at 2.51 SLpM behind 39% defence.
Joe Kropschot: Stay at the end of the 79-inch reach, jab and teep the Kunneman way, and do not volunteer the clinch Klein wants. Stuff enough of the 35% shots. Armbar is a bonus.

Tactical key
Lebosnoyani is 2-0 on the roster with 4.14 SLpM and 100% takedown defence on a three-fight line. Hasanov is 6-0 after landing 17 takedowns in one night against Eric Nolan. The lean is the man with two UFC wins; seventeen takedowns is why it stays close.
What limits this estimate
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani: Stuff the first takedown, use the switch stance and 4.14 SLpM, and let Hasanov's 1.40 output lose a fifteen-minute fight. Submission attempts against Ko and Rowe are the finish branch. 100% takedown defence is the number he has to keep.
Farman Hasanov: Make it the Nolan fight. Seventeen takedowns is not the target — even five in a 25-foot cage buries a volume edge. He does not need to submit anyone. His UFC sub rate is 0.0. The decision is the win.

Tactical key
Both men own one UFC loss to Daniil Donchenko. Sezinando brings a compiled finish chart (4 KO / 3 Dec / 2 Sub) and a takedown attempt; Berggren brings +4" reach and a loss that reached round two. Two one-fight samples do not make a strong favorite.
What limits this estimate
Rodrigo Sezinando: Get inside the 75-inch reach, use the level change he showed even while losing, and look for the rear-naked choke that accounts for both listed submission wins. A kickboxing fight at 2.25 SLpM and 27% accuracy is how the final ended.
Theodor Berggren: Stay long, switch, and do not let a shorter man turn the fence into a takedown. His UFC takedown count is zero. The win is a striking win — which is also how he lost the only fight on his page, 23-71.

Yana Santos (#6) vs. Luana Santos (#7) is the other main-card bout, at women's bantamweight. Seven preliminary bouts complete a nine-fight card in the 25-foot cage. All nine stream on Paramount+. Card order follows the announced bout order and remains subject to change.
UFC experience describes the size of the available sample, not the chance of winning. A short UFC record leaves more uncertainty about how a fighter performs against different styles. Opponent quality, recent changes and missing statistics also matter; five bouts alone do not establish that a prediction is well calibrated.
Limited UFC sample
<3 UFC Bouts
Limited UFC data available. Analysis relies more heavily on external sources and pre-UFC performance patterns.
Developing UFC sample
3-4 UFC Bouts
Some UFC evidence is available, but a few matchups can strongly influence the averages. Check opponent quality and the limitations in each analysis.
Established UFC sample
5+ UFC Bouts
More UFC observations are available. This does not guarantee predictive accuracy; changes in opposition, injuries and style can still limit the estimate.
Note: All fights receive thorough analysis regardless of UFC experience levels. Analyst conviction is an editorial assessment, not a measured probability or statistical confidence interval.
Yellow marks our forecast favorite. The comparison shows our editorial win estimate against the probability implied by each quote. Gap is in percentage points (pp), includes bookmaker margin, and is not expected return.
