Records: Camur (6-2-0) | Boser (20-10-1)
Camur is looking to turn things around. The fighter from Bosnia-Herzegovina has dropped a pair of bouts via decision to William Knight and Nicolae Negumereanu after a successful debut at UFC 246 in a unanimous-decision win over Justin Ledet. This will be Camur’s first UFC fight since losing to Negumereanu in June 2021.
The veteran Boser is also on a 2-bout skid and is just 1-4 across his last 5 fights. His losses are a little more impressive, coming against fellow veterans Andrei Arlovski, Ion Cutelaba and Ilir Latifi, with a win by KO/TKO against Ovince Saint Preux. That schedule is quite the gauntlet, and the losses aren’t really much to be ashamed of for the Canadian heavyweight.
Boser, a.k.a. “The Bulldozer”, has never lost 3 straight fights at any point of his career. He takes the walk with 4.17 significant strikes landed per minute, landing 58.45% of those punches. If Camur has an advantage, it’s in the takedown game, where he has a 0.59 takedown average, while Boser is zeroed out.

UFC on ESPN 50: Camur vs. Boser picks and predictions
Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)
The veteran BOSER (-160) still has plenty left in the tank at 32 years old, and he’ll ease by Camur using his veteran savvy and punching power. The Canadian has fought some of the best in the division and is much more battle-tested than the Bosnian fighter. Camur’s day is coming, but that day will not be Saturday.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 ROUNDS (-160) isn’t a bad wager, and is not priced out of line. Boster has gone the distance in 3 of his past 5 fights, while all 3 of Camur’s bouts at the UFC level have needed the judges to decide a victor.
In addition, YES (-125): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? is an even better play based on the facts above. Neither of these fighters has been getting finishes lately.
