Coming up short in his main event slot back in August, Tybura looks to bounce back this weekend over a hot prospect. Tybura is 8-3 over his last 11 fights, showcasing that he can still perform and be successful against most outside of the top 5. He is one of the more complete heavyweights on the roster who can also go a hard 15 if required.
It’s time again, the UFC returns to Madison Square Garden for their annual trip to New York City. This PPV card is usually a sign of a big-time fight in the headlining spot and the UFC could not have asked for a better matchup. According to early trends, this is the second-highest gate in UFC history, behind only Conor McGregor vs Eddie Alvarez back at UFC 205.
Not often do we see as many wide favorites on UFC cards as we have this weekend. Specifically, 10 of the 12 favorites are -220 or wider. Thus, some of the picks below may be chalkier than you’d like to play straight, so feel free to use them as parlay pieces instead.
Although there have been more than 100 shows at the Apex, counting PPV events during COVID, this weekend will mark the 100th fight night taking place from the UFC’s headquarters. There have been plenty of great main events, but it’s unfortunate the athletes did not have a live crowd to soak it all in with. Regardless, this weekend welterweights throw down in a fight that could be a passing-of-the-torch.
Looking for a career resurgence, Jourdain is moving down to 135 lbs for this weekend’s clash in Edmonton.

One thing is for certain, Jourdain won’t go away easily and will always bring it.
For the second time this year, the UFC returns to the Great White North. This time it’s a fight night headed to Edmonton with a double five-round headliner with a pair of flyweight matchups. Co-main event honors go to the women as former straw weight champion, Rose Namajunas, looks to hand Erin Blanchfield a second consecutive loss. The men take center stage in the main event with another former champion looking to slow down a rising contender.
A blistering start to Magomedov’s UFC career led the way to a two-fight losing streak. Magomedov went deep into his bag to pull off a dominant victory over a veteran last time out, positioning himself to get back into the top 10 of the division. A diverse striking skill set is normally the path to victory for Magomedov, but also an underrated wrestling game allows him to wear opponents down in that realm.
October usually marks a trip over to Abu Dhabi for the UFC, and this year is no different. As a fight fan, there’s something special about a PPV card taking place in the afternoon, considering you still have the rest of the night to be a normal human being.
