The UFC's next bill takes place in its home base on Saturday, with a pair of strawweight contenders squaring off in the main event at the Apex. Read on for our UFC Fight Night parlay picks and predictions.
After a messy Friday weigh-in when a handful of fighters came in heavy, the promotion's latest card is set with a dozen matchups, including a headliner pitting Marina Rodriguez against Amanda Lemos at 115 pounds.
The streaking Rodriguez has won four straight and is coming off a hard-earned decision win over Yan Xiaonan. Meanw hile, Lemos most recently brought her UFC record to 6-2 with a submission of Michelle Waterson in July. With strawweight queen Carla Esparza set to defend her crown against Weili Zhang in just one week, the timing of Saturday's pivotal main event is undoubtedly fortuitous for whoever leaves the cage with the victory.
In the welterweight co-main event, UFC mainstay Neil Magny looks to rebound from a June loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov at the expense of the streaking Daniel Rodriguez (no relation to Marina). The 35-year-old Rodriguez heads to Vegas with four straight wins, and he was last seen outdueling Li Jingliang at UFC 279.
