UFC Fight Night 192 Cutelaba vs. Clark: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Cutelaba (15-6-1) | Clark (12-5-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Unless Clark is able to catch CUTELABA (-160) with a big shot, the latter is the much more rounded fighter and a better play on the money line. He can win it with a big shot, or he can win it with ground and pound.

Three of Clark’s four losses in the past eight bouts have come via submission, so play CUTELABA BY SUBMISSION (+2000) for a small-unit play. It’s worth the slight risk for the potential huge reward.

Over/Under (O/U)

Clark was submitted by Anthony Smith in the first round last time out in the main event. It was just his second stoppage in the past five outings.

Cutelaba had a draw last time out against Dustin Jacoby, but that was his first fight to go the distance in the past seven bouts.

As such, play NO (-200): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?

UFC on ESPN 23 results: Heated Ion Cutelaba vs. Dustin Jacoby fight ends in draw

After a wild pre-fight faceoff that went viral, Ion Cutelaba and Dustin Jacoby failed to determine a winner at UFC on ESPN 23.

After a wild pre-fight faceoff that went viral, [autotag]Ion Cutelaba[/autotag] and [autotag]Dustin Jacoby[/autotag] failed to determine a winner when they stepped in the octagon at UFC on ESPN 23.

Cutelaba (15-6-1 MMA, 4-5-1 UFC) blew the doors off Jacoby (14-5-1 MMA, 2-2-1 UFC) in the opening round of Saturday’s light heavyweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He racked up what seemed like a definitive 10-8 round on the scorecards, setting the stage for Jacoby to rally back and even things on the scorecards.

That’s exactly what he did. Jacoby won the final two rounds to force 29-28, 28-29 and 28-28 scorecards from the judges, making it a split draw.

Cutelaba did everything in his power for a first-round finish, as he’s successfully achieved 12 times in his career. Jacoby took a ton of shots and gave up a 205-pound single-round record eight takedowns, but he would not go away.

The pace slowed down big time in Round 2 and Round 3, but that allowed Jacoby to settle into a pace and output that got him the edge.

All three judges had different scorecards in the fight, which set up the split draw.

In the main event, former 205-pound title challenger [autotag]Dominick Reyes[/autotag] (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) meets [autotag]Jiri Prochazka[/autotag] (27-3-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC). Prochazka is a slight favorite at -135 at BetMGM, but it’s Reyes with a slight 7-5 lead in the picks from our 12 editors, writers, videographers and radio hosts.

In the co-feature, [autotag]Giga Chikadze[/autotag] (12-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) is a -175 favorite against [autotag]Cub Swanson[/autotag] (27-11 MMA, 12-7 UFC) at featherweight. Chikadze doubled up on Swanson in our picks at 8-4.

Our most contentious fight from a picking standpoint is at light heavyweight between [autotag]Ion Cutelaba[/autotag] (15-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and [autotag]Dustin Jacoby[/autotag] (14-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC). Cutelaba is a mild favorite at -120, and the picks are dead even at 6-6.

[autotag]Sean Strickland[/autotag] (22-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and [autotag]Krzysztof Jotko[/autotag] (22-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) have similar records going into their middleweight bout. But Strickland is a big favorite at -275, and he’s got a 9-3 lead in the picks.

[autotag]Merab Dvalishvili[/autotag] (12-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is a big favorite, too, at -250 in his bantamweight bout against [autotag]Cody Stamann[/autotag] (19-3-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC), and only two pickers are taking Stamann in an upset.

And to open the main card, we have our only unanimous pick at 12-0. [autotag]Poliana Botelho[/autotag] (8-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) pitched a picks shutout in her women’s flyweight bout against [autotag]Luana Carolina[/autotag] (6-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC).

UFC on ESPN 23 faceoff video: Ion Cutelaba too quick for Dana White, grabs Dustin Jacoby

That escalated quickly – too quickly for Dana White to stop it.

LAS VEGAS – The intensity between [autotag]Ion Cutelaba[/autotag] and [autotag]Dustin Jacoby[/autotag] just ratcheted up a notch ahead of their UFC on ESPN 23 light heavyweight fight.

During Friday’s weigh-ins faceoffs, Cutelaba walked onto the stage, gave UFC president Dana White a firm handshake, and then proceeded to grab Jacoby by the back of his neck as he was in a fighter’s stance. White quickly tried to separate the two fighters as UFC security also rushed in.

“Oh, f*ck. Come on,” White said out loud. “I was just ragging on Sean (Shelby) before I walked in here.”

White’s reference was to his criticism of UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby for reacting too slowly to Jeremy Stephens’ hard shove of Drakkar Klose, which gave Klose a concussion and forced him to withdraw from their UFC on ESPN 22 the day of the event.

You can watch the staredown between Cutelaba and Jacoby in the video above.

UFC on ESPN 23 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex. It airs on ESPN2 and streams on ESPN+.

Callout Collection: Who UFC 260 winners want next – and how likely they’ll get them

Francis Ngannou and Vicente Luque were among those who name-dropped their preferred next opponents at UFC 260 in Las Vegas.

Earning wins in the UFC is certainly no easy task, but what comes next is often even more important: the post-fight callout.

So, after Saturday’s UFC 260 event in Las Vegas, who took advantage of their time on the mic?

See below for this week’s Callout Collection – and just how realistic each one is.

Ion Cutelaba vs. Devin Clark added to UFC Fight Night on May 1

A light heavyweight clash between Ion Cutelaba and Devin Clark is the latest addition to UFC Fight Night on May 1.

A light heavyweight clash is the latest addition to UFC Fight Night on May 1 as [autotag]Ion Cutelaba[/autotag] will take on [autotag]Devin Clark[/autotag] in an event that does not yet have an official location.

A person with knowledge of the situation recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. MMA DNA was first to report the news.

Cutelaba (15-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) has lost three of his past four and is coming off back-to-back stoppage losses to Magomed Ankalaev. After a controversial ending to his first bout with Ankalaev in February 2020, the pair ran things back last October at UFC 254, where Anklaev was able to score another first-round finish. Cutelaba’s last win came in September 2019, when he stopped Khalil Rountree by TKO in Round 1.

Riding a two-fight winning streak with a unanimous decision win over Dequan Townsend and a big upset of Alonzo Menifield, Clark (12-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) saw a halt in his momentum when he was submitted in the first round by former title challenger Anthony Smith in the main event of UFC on ESPN 18 last November.

With the addition, the latest UFC Fight Night lineup includes:

Dominick Reyes vs. Jiri Prochazka
T.J. Brown vs. Kai Kamaka III
Dean Barry vs. Mike Jackson
Poliana Botelho vs. Ji Yeon Kim
Damon Jackson vs. T.J. Laramie
KB Bhullar vs. Andreas Michailidis
Devin Clark vs. Ion Cutelaba
