UFC Vegas 103 Three Best Moneyline Bets
Montana De La Rosa (13-9-1) vs Luana Carolina (11-4)
Looking to string together two victories for the first time in nearly 7 years, De La Rosa just turned 30 on Valentine’s Day. De La Rosa brings one of the tougher wrestling games to the table where she’s been able to get dominant positions against decent competition, now it’s about being more consistent with it.

Carolina is on a personal-best three-fight winning streak in the UFC and seems to show some solid improvements with each outing. Striking is her strength, so it’s been impressive to see her shore up some of her grappling shortcomings. I still feel as though she has overachieved in the UFC thus far, so we’ll see how far she can take this winning streak.
I’m ready to be let down by De La Rosa again, but stylistically I feel this is a strong matchup for her. Carolina is not a knockout threat, but her steady striking could cause De La Rosa some issues. However, I expect De La Rosa’s wrestling to end up being the difference maker, allowing her to control and dictate this fight. At slight dog odds, I’m hoping for a wrestling clinic for the New Mexico-native.
The Pick: Montana De La Rosa +105

Charles Johnson (17-6) vs Ramazan Temirov (18-2)
When things seemed at their lowest, Charles Johnson did not take the easy route. In February 2024 he took on a 15-0 prospect while riding a three-fight losing streak. Now he rides a four-fight winning streak and showcasing the potential many expected of him, largely fueled by his volume-heavy striking approach.
Temirov made a splash in his UFC debut by knocking out CJ Vergara in the first round back in October. Often blitzing the pocket while utilizing disciplined lateral movement, Temirov’s speed and power has been a tough task for many to deal with. He looks to have a boat load of potential, but now it’s about executing against higher levels of competition.
I expect this fight to primarily take place in the striking realm. Johnson may get ahead on numbers, but I expect the power and big shots of Temirov to either find a knockout or play better to the judges if it hits the scorecards. It is tough to fade the UFC experience of Johnson, but the way these strikers match up makes me lean on the power rather than volume.
The Pick: Ramazan Temirov +110
Hyder Amil (10-0) vs William Gomis (14-2)
Training under the great Gilbert Melendez, Amil has put together a clean 10-0 pro record since 2017. His steady pace, pressure, and cardio has helped him break opponents down and either finish them or win fights on the scorecards. Durability has been a contributing factor to his success as well, but it’s really all about setting a pace that most can’t keep up with.
Gomis rides a 12-fight winning streak with four of those coming in the UFC. I feel he is an overachiever considering how some of these fights have played out, but credit to him for getting the job done. Three of his four UFC wins have come by split or majority decision, showcasing how close some of these fights have played out.
I am surprised there is not more public love on the Amil side. People believe he is too sloppy for a technician like Gomis, but I beg to differ. Amil should be able to set a pace that Gomis will falter under, and I don’t think we’ll see Amil get stuck in bad positions for long, but rather looking to reverse and get his own positions. This price is too good for me to pass up.
