Flyweight elites get the spotlight at UFC 255 this Saturday (Nov. 21, 2020) when Deiveson Figueiredo and Valentina Shevchenko defend their respective titles against dangerous challengers Alex Perez and Jennifer Maia, respectively. Up at Welterweight, Mike Perry looks to make it two straight against Muay Thai ace Tim Means, while Cynthia Calvillo and Katlyn Chookagian battle it out for a potential crack at the co-main event winner.

What Went Wrong at UFC Vegas 14?

Man, I was cranky as hell when they robbed Kay Hansen, but even if it wasn't the gangbusters evening it should have been, we still came out alright. Kanako Murata, Tony Gravely, Ashley Yoder and Rafael dos Anjos all powered their way to decision wins, making for a moderate profit.

UFC 255 Odds For The Undercard:

Brandon Moreno (-190) vs. Rdr2 online. Brandon Royval (+165)

Joaquin Buckley (-255) vs. Jordan Wright (+215)

Antonina Shevchenko (-155) vs. Ariane Lipski (+135)

Kyle Daukaus (-310) vs. Dustin Stoltzfus (+255)

Best Ufc Bets Tonight

Alan Jouban (-145) vs. Jared Gooden (+125)

Louis Cosce (-410) vs. Sasha Palatnikov (+330)

Daniel Rodriguez (-320) vs. Nicolas Dalby (+260)

Thoughts: After years of underestimating Brandon Moreno, I think it's time to finally put my faith in him.

While both Moreno and late-notice foe Brandon Royval excel in high-paced scrambles, Moreno's ground game is far more battle-tested. We've seen 'The Assassin Baby' hold his own against grappling experts like Jussier Formiga and Askar Askarov, while Royval failed to out-maneuver Casey Kenney on the ground. Moreno's wrestling and submission defense are more than enough to keep him afloat against Royval in a grappling match, and he's got a huge edge on the feet.

In short, bank on the Mexican young gun to secure the next Flyweight title shot.

On the underdog side, Ariane Lipski is pretty damn tempting. She and Antonina Shevchenko have both underperformed in the Octagon, but Lipski remains the harder hitter of the two and has shown a smidge of takedown prowess in the past, which should be sufficient to overwhelm Shevchenko's nonexistent ground game. Just don't invest too much in 'The Violence Queen;' in fact, a parlay with Louis Cosce should bump those odds up to the point where a minor play still pays dividends.

Alan Jouban looks like a decent play, too. He's been out for a while and fell short against the division's upper echelon, sure, but he's a heavy hitter going up against a guy with serious defensive issues. I just wish he would have stayed at -105 (where he opened).

UFC 255 Odds For The Main Card:

Mma Predictions For This Saturday

Deiveson Figueiredo (-320) vs. Alex Perez (+260)

Valentina Shevchenko (-1300) vs. Jennifer Maia (+850)

Mike Perry (-145) vs. Tim Means (+125)

Cynthia Calvillo (-260) vs. Katlyn Chookagian (+220)

Paul Craig (-165) vs. Mauricio Rua (+145)

Thoughts: Figueiredo is the only appealing option here. That's because Perez's style is extremely similar to that of Joseph Benavidez, which Figueiredo rather thoroughly dismantled twice in a row. Perez's wrestling doesn't look sufficient to drag the Brazilian 'God of War' to the ground with any regularity, and Figueiredo's sledgehammer punches make him far and away the more dangerous of the two on the feet. The only real threat to the champion is Perez's newfound skill with calf kicks, and one or two big counters should be sufficient to dissuade him from throwing very many. In the end, Figueiredo retains in dominant fashion.

Jiri Prochazka will be making his UFC debut on this card, fighting Volkan Oezdemir in a light heavyweight bout in the feature match of the prelims. Oezdemir has seen five of his past seven fights finish inside the distance, while 13 of his 21 fights as a professional have been KO/TKO results. He has won 12 of those fights.

For Prochazka, he picked up a KO/TKO win in Round 1 last time out against CB Dolloway at Rizin FF: Rizin Fighting Federation 20 on New Year's Eve 2019. Prochazka has ventured into the octagon 30 times as a pro, with 24 of those outings ending in a KO/TKO. He has won 22 of those fights, although it's obvious he'll see a huge jump in the quality of competition at the UFC level. Still, the books love KO/TKO/DQ (-143) as the leading method of how this fight will finish.

Looking to the Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos vs. Muslim Salikhov welterweight bout – also on the prelims card – here are two fighters who do not see the judges get involved very often.

Also see:

For dos Santos, he has posted an 8-2 record at the UFC level, winning eight of his past nine. Four of the past five outings have finished inside the distance, although seven of his 10 fights have lasted into at least Round 3. As far as Salikhov is concerned, he is 3-0 over the past three fights, with three of his four bouts at the UFC level finishing inside the distance. In 18 pro fights he has posted 12 wins by KO/TKO with no losses. As such, go with NO (-118): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?

Lastly, target the Makwan Amirkhani–Danny Henry bout for your third end of this parlay. Amirkhani, a.k.a. 'Mr. Finland,' will be looking to rebound after a KO/TKO loss in the third round against Shane Burgos at UFC 244. Each of Amirkhani's past two bouts have finished inside the distance. His opponent, Henry of Scotland, has seen five of his past six pro fights finish inside the distance. Each of Henry's past two bouts at the UFC level haven't even seen the bell to end Round 1. As a result, go with NO (-141): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?

Best Ufc Bets

A $10 bet on this three-way parlay (+436) featuring KO/TKO/DQ (-143) in the Oezdemir-Prochazka fight, NO (-118) on the dos Santos-Salikhov fight going the distance, and NO (-141) on the Amirkhani-Henry bout going the distance will fetch a net profit of $43.66.
