Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 207 odds and lines between Michael Trizano vs. Lucas Almeida, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a featherweight bout on the main card, Michael Trizano and Lucas Almeida meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 207 – also known as UFC Vegas 56 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 207 Trizano vs. Almeida odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The fights can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims starting at 1 p.m. ET. and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.

Trizano is looking to rebound after a unanimous-decision setback to Hakeem Dawodu last time out in early February. He is 1-2 in his last 3 fights since a split-decision win over Luis Pena in Nov. 2018 in his UFC debut.

Almeida will be making his UFC debut in this fight. The 31-year-old Brazilian dropped Italo Trindade at JF: Jungle Fight 103 in Nov. 2021, winning by way of submission. He has just 1 loss via decision while winning 8 fights by way of TKO/KO and 5 via submission in his 14 career bouts. In addition to the Guillotine, which he used to top Trindade, he is also strong at the Arm Triangle and Rear Naked Choke.

[tipico]

UFC Fight Night 207 Trizano vs. Almeida picks and predictions

Records: Trizano (10-2-0) | Almeida (13-1-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Trizano (-240), a.k.a. “The Lone Wolf”, will cost you nearly two and a half times your potential return. Almeida is a tremendous prospect, but the experience factor for Trizano will be the difference here.

PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

YES (-155): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE is a strong play. Almeida might be a little cautious in his UFC debut, and he certainly won’t be able to push around Trizano like some of the lower-level fighters he faced previously.

Trizano has had just 1 fight fail to go the distance in his last 6 pro bouts, including 3 of his 4 fights at the UFC level. Expect the judges to be involved, and TRIZANO BY POINTS (+102) at plus money is a good play for the method of victory.

UFC Fight Night 207: Dan Ige vs. Movsar Evloev odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 207 odds and lines between Dan Ige vs. Movsar Evloev, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a featherweight bout on the main card, Dan Ige and Movsar Evloev meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 207 – also known as UFC Vegas 56 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 207 Ige vs. Evloev odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The fights can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims starting at 1 p.m. ET. and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.

Ige is in a nosedive as he’s dropped his last 2 fights, and 3 of the previous 4 bouts overall. He was impressive in a 22-second knockout of Gavin Tucker in March 2021, but he has back-to-back unanimous-decision losses to “The Korean Zombie” in the main event June 19, 2021, and Josh Emmett last time out at UFC 269 in December.

Evloev has gone from UFC prospect to one of the better fighters in his weight class. He has 5 consecutive wins via decision since arriving at the UFC level in 2019 and this represents his biggest test to date. He is 15-0-0 in his pro career, with three wins via TKO/KO and four victories by way of submission.

UFC Fight Night 207 Ige vs. Evloev odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:10 a.m. ET.

  • Fight result (2-way line): Ige +300 (bet $100 to win $300) | Evloev -420 (bet $420 to win $100)
  • Will the fight go the distance? (Yes -270 | No +185)

[tipico]

UFC Fight Night 207 Ige vs. Evloev picks and predictions

Records: Ige (15-5-0) | Evloev (15-0-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Evloev (-420) is a heavy favorite to top the 30-year-old Ige (+300). The unbeaten Russian fighter has a 1.5-inch reach advantage, and a 4.32-to-3.90 significant strikes landed per minute advantage.

However, he has relied upon the judges too much in his career and needs a finish. You can’t risk this kind of money for such a small return, and then have to rely on the judges.

PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

Yes (-270): Fight to go the distance is also a little too expensive for my liking, as you must risk more than two and a half times your potential return. Instead, look to the method of victory and play MOVSAR BY POINTS (-160) for a much better value. That’s the play in his fights until he starts recording some stoppages.

UFC Fight Night 207: Alexander Volkov vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 207 odds and lines between Alexander Volkov vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a heavyweight bout in the main event, Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 207 – also known as UFC Vegas 56 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 207 Volkov vs. Rozenstruik odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The fights can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims starting at 1 p.m. ET. and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.

Volkov is looking to bounce back after a 1st-round submission loss to Tom Aspinall last time out in mid-March. He is 1-2 across his last 3 fights and is just 4-4 over his previous eight bouts, and has gone the distance just 4 times in the past 10 outings.

Rozenstruik is also aiming for a bounce-back fight. He lost via unanimous decision to Curtis Blaydes at UFC 266 in September and has a pair of losses in his last three fights and a 2-3 mark across his last five. However, losses to Blaydes, Ciryl Gane and Francis Ngannou are not exactly embarrassing.

UFC Fight Night 207 Volkov vs. Rozenstruik odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:55 a.m. ET.

  • Fight result (2-way line): Volkov -170 (bet $170 to win $100) | Rozenstruik +133 (bet $100 to win $133)
  • Will the fight go the distance? (Yes +130 | No -180)

[tipico]

UFC Fight Night 207 Volkov vs. Rozenstruik picks and predictions

Records: Volkov (34-10-0) | Rozenstruik (12-3-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Neither of these fighters comes in with momentum as VOLKOV (-170) is 4-4 across his last 8 bouts and Rozenstruik has managed to drop 3 of his last 5 outings.

The Suriname-born Rozenstruik gives up 5 inches in height and 2 inches in reach, and Volkov also holds a 4.83-to-2.80 advantage in significant strikes landed per minute. Look for Volkov to keep Rozenstruik at a distance all fight.

Over/Under (O/U)

I fully expect this fight to go all the way, making YES (+130): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE a very solid value. In addition, play VOLKOV BY POINTS (+190) for the method of victory for a chance to nearly double up your money.
