The main event features Canada\u2019s best shot of title relevancy, with Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott. Burns is riding a long losing streak, while the Canadian (who is from very far away from Winnipeg) has won three straight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The co-main event is Kyler Phillips vs. Charles Jourdain in the Bantamweight division. Phillips is coming off both a loss and a long lay off. There\u2019s lots of those guys, and girls, on this card like that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rounding out the main card is Mandel Nallo vs. Jai Herbert, Jasmine Jasudavicius vs. Karine Silva, Thiago Moises vs. Gauge Young and Dennis Bazukja vs. Marcio Barbosa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The \u201cPrelims\u201d are headlined by Julien LeBlanc vs. Robert Valentin. That\u2019s a total newcomer against an 0-3 guy. The undercard also has the return of Tanner Boser, because why not? He fights someone called Gokhan Saricam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As always, there\u2019s lots to bet on this card and we\u2019ve got odds for all the fights below:<\/p>\n<p>UFC Winnipeg Main Card Money Line Odds<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2025\/12\/gettyimages-2215633920.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"5442\" data-pswp-width=\"8163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Gilbert Burns plays gatekeeper at UFC Winnipeg.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2215633920.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gilbert Burns plays gatekeeper at UFC Winnipeg. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert Burns (+245) vs. Mike Malott (-305)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Burns continues his gatekeeper duties at UFC Winnipeg. That role has not gone very well for him so far. Last time out, in May, he was starched by Michael Morales (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/5\/17\/24432192\/video-highlights-ufc-vegas-106-results-espn-morales-knockout-burns\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Before that Sean Brady, Jack Della Maddalena and Belal Muhammad all got past him to move onto bigger and better things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Malott will be hoping to do the same. He\u2019s won three in a row now. In October he beat Kevin Holland by unanimous decision, in a kinda weird fight. Before that he knocked out Charles Radtke (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/5\/10\/24427631\/watch-full-fight-video-highlights-ufc-315-results-espn-ppv-montreal-malott-knockout-radtke\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and took a decision over Trevin Giles. The last time he faced a gatekeeper, in Canada, he suffered a shock third round TKO loss to Neil Magny (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2024\/1\/21\/24045374\/watch-full-fight-video-highlights-ufc-297-results-espn-ppv-toronto-magny-knockout-malott\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s hard to pick Burns to win anything at the moment, especially when UFC keeps setting him up with extremely dangerous fighters who get finishes. Burns is the prototype of a BJJ ace who can land with power and use his grappling in case of emergencies. That\u2019s what Malott, the grappling coach at Team Alpha Male, can do, too. And he\u2019s younger, bigger and less shop worn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There\u2019s no point in delaying the obvious here anymore, I fully expect Malott to get another big win on Canadian soil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The point spread on this one is Malott -13.5 at -195. That looks ridiculous, but when you consider how versatile Malott is with his finishes and how Burns\u2019 durability has declined (as he get sets to turn 40 in July) it makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I like the spread because I definitely see Malott getting the finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The round total is 2.5 rounds. With the under at -135. I like the under here, too, for the reasons I cited above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For my best bet I\u2019m going to go with that under. It\u2019s the same odds as Malott by KO\/TKO, so I might as well go for the added security on the under \u2014 since I feel it is more likely that Malott clubs and subs Burns quickly than I do that it goes long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: Under 2.5 rounds (-135)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2025\/10\/gettyimages-2241899356.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4236\" data-pswp-width=\"6354\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Charles Jourdain gets home game (kinda) at UFC Winnipeg.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2241899356.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Charles Jourdain gets home game (kinda) at UFC Winnipeg. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Kyler Phillips (+130) vs. Charles Jourdain (-155)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Phillips hasn\u2019t been seen since he lost a unanimous decision to Lok Dog Vinicius Oliveira in July. Before that he lost to Rob Font (as a -455 favorite). Those bouts could have catapulted the MMA Lab product into the Bantamweight title picture. Instead, he\u2019s now fodder for someone who the UFC likely wants to build up into an attraction in Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jourdain has looked very good since moving down in weight. He\u2019s finished both Victor Henry and Davey Grant with his patented guillotine. He was chased from Featherweight with an uppercut KO at the hands of Jean Silva (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/2\/22\/24370592\/watch-video-highlights-ufc-seattle-results-espn-jean-silva-knockout\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jourdain seems very at home at Bantamweight and his signature flying knee and standing guillotine gives him a chance in any fight he\u2019s in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Phillips\u2019 has decent striking with a good overhand right. A lot of his offense features level changing for takedowns, though. That could really play into Jourdain\u2019s wheelhouse for his knee or guillotine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Phillips really needs a win, so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he comes out looking great and manages to ground Jourdain. But Jourdain is on a fantastic run right now, so I think he\u2019s probably going to get this done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: Charles Jourdain moneyline (-155)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbnation.com\/users\/E9KZzS1eFU\/Tim%20Edwards\" class=\"_155vuib7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Tim Edwards\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_155vuib5 w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1018..jpeg\"\/><\/a><img alt=\"MMA Mania\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_155vuib4 w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/logo-mmamania.png\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/post\/9LcqyoPDjYbf\" class=\"_16zyln93\" aria-label=\"View full post: FIGHT STREAK RESULTS FOR UFC 327!

Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Mandel Nallo (-180) vs. Jai Herbert (+150)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nallo earned a contract on Contender Series in September with a first round stoppage. He\u2019s a longtime Bellator veteran who could never quite breakthrough in the title picture. He\u2019s one of a handful of Tristar guys on the card, along with the aforementioned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Herbert lost a split decision to Chris Padilla in his last fight. That was all the way back in March, 2025. We\u2019ve all seen how good Padilla is since then. Herbert is 3-5-1 in UFC with wins over Kyle Nelson and Rolando Bedoya.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I know, most of us have never heard of Nallo. It seems strange to see him as the third highest placed guy on the card. He\u2019s a fun fighter to watch, though, and has a lot of personality, too. He\u2019s got great size at Lightweight and really fast hands. I think we might end up seeing him in some great Lightweight wars in the near future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Herbert is a striker, but he\u2019s a little too cautious to be drawn into a straight up fire fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Herbert is far more experienced and battle tested-than Nallo. He also has a little bit of reach working in his favor. I think Herbert might be too big a step up for Nallo, in his proper UFC debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I\u2019m going for Herbert here, but I think this is a pretty close fight.

Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine Jasudavicius (-310) vs. Karine Silva (+250)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jasudavicius saw her five fight winning streak snapped by Manon Fiorot in October. In that classic y\u2019all must of forget match Fiorot put away the Canadian with a first round knee (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-espn-plus-fight-pass-events-schedule-mma\/396903\/video-highlights-ufc-vancouver-results-espn-fiorot-knockout-jasudavicius\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Jasudavicius complained about the stoppage, for what that\u2019s worth. Before that Jasudavicius scored impressive wins over Jessica Andrade and Mayra Bueno Silva.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Silva lost a decision to Maycee Barber in December. Before that she beat Dione Barbosa. And before that she lost to the veteran Viviane Araujo. The Araujo loss snapped a nine fight winning streak for \u2018Killer\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I don\u2019t think there was anything wrong with Jasudavicius\u2019 loss to Fiorot. I think she was over zealous and got caught. That slice of humble pie might serve her well in this fight, though. She\u2019s a better striker than Silva and her ground game should keep her safe from Silva\u2019s leg attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I doubt Jasudavicius finishes Silva, so I\u2019ll take the over for marginally more appealing odds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: Over 2.5 rounds (-298)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Betting on sports involves risk, so please only wager amounts you can afford to lose.

He\u2019s now 8-7 in UFC. Though, he\u2019s fought a real murderers\u2019 row in the Octagon. He\u2019s lost to Benoit Saint-Denis, Joel Alvarez, Beneil Dariush and, oh, Islam Makhachev. His best wins are over Michael Johnson, by ankle lock (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2020\/5\/13\/21258180\/ufc-thiago-moises-forces-michael-johnson-tap-heel-hook-ufc-jacksonville-highlights-mma\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), and Melquizael Costa, by RNC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Young lost his Contender Series bout in 2024. However, he was going against Quillan Salkilld. After that decision loss he was signed to fight Evan Elder, on short notice. He lost that bout by decision. He earned his first UFC win in August, taking a decision over Maheshate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I don\u2019t know what to make of Moises. Every time I think he\u2019s going to do well, he gets smashed and when I count him out he grinds out a win. I think Young will be too active on the feet for him and too good defensively to get taken down a bunch. So I should pick Moises, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nah, I\u2019ll stick with Young, whose striking forced Salkilld to wrestle. He should be able to rack up a lot of shots on Moises, who absorbs 4.08 sig. strikes a minute and only lands 2.48.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: Gauge Young moneyline (-130)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2168298744.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"2838\" data-pswp-width=\"3954\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"It\u2019s been a minute since we\u2019ve seen Dennis Buzukja.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776312929_461_gettyimages-2168298744.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a minute since we\u2019ve seen Dennis Buzukja. Photo by Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Buzukja (+370) vs. Marcio Barbosa (-485)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Buzukja hasn\u2019t fought since 2024. He\u2019s another fighter making a long awaited return at UFC Winnipeg. He lost his last bout, to Francis Marshall, be split decision. Before that he overwhelmed Connor Matthews for a third round TKO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Barbosa capped off an impressive LFA run with a TKO win on Contender series last year. In LFA he went 3-1 with all stoppages. His loss was to the very good Gabriel Santos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Barbosa is the biggest favorite on the card. I think that\u2019s a little unfair to Buzukja, who is a decently well rounded guy. That being said, Marshall knocked Buzukja down with a short hook. And that\u2019s all Barbosa throws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I\u2019ll take the under, even though the total is 1.5.

He lost the finale to Ryan Loder, after he got stuck in a crucifix, and then he lost to Torrez Finney in one of the most hilariously bad fights I\u2019ve ever seen. In July he was given his wish to \u2018bang, bro\u2019 and that resulted in getting started by Ateba Gautier in just over a minute (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/7\/19\/24470533\/watch-video-highlights-ufc-318-results-espn-ppv-new-orleans-gautier-knockout-valentin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Leblanc is one of many fighters on this card making their UFC debut without any kind of exposure to the promotion\u2019s feeder programs. I think that says a lot about what they think about this card. He\u2019s 10-2 as a pro. The only recognizable org he\u2019s fought in is LFA. He went 0-1 there, losing a decision to Damien Lapilus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">LeBlanc likes to takes guy down.

His best wins over that time were finishes over Ovince Saint Preux (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2021\/6\/26\/22551953\/tanner-boser-ovince-saint-preux-espn-ufc-vegas-apex-mma\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and Philip Lins (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2020\/6\/27\/21305372\/ufc-espn-12-full-fight-video-highlights-poirier-hooker-vegas-mma-covid-results-boser-knockout-lins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Among his losses are bouts to Ciryl Gane, Andrei Arlovski and Ilir Latifi (all by decision).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is the first time Saricam will appear in an Octagon. He\u2019s a long time Bellator veteran. During his time there he lost to the best fighter he ever faced (Oleg Popov). His most recent fight was a ground and pound victory over Hyago Silva in The Cage MMA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Saricum smashed through the cans he fought in Bellator (below).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, I don\u2019t think he has much upside in UFC.

In her debut she TKO\u2019d Tainara Lisboa (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-events-ppv\/396763\/rookie-report-card-grading-all-octagon-newcomers-ufc-vancouver-post-mortem\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

That June 2025 victory was revenge for her Ares FC loss to Mullins back in 2022. In September 2024 she was famously submitted, and then twerked on, by Ailin Perez (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2024\/9\/28\/24256742\/highlights-ufc-paris-full-fight-video-highlights-results-espn-perez-submission-twerk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Croden is an aggressive fighter that really pushes to cause damage and get the finish.

His losses are to Andre Lima and Sumudaerji, both by split decision. He beat Azat Maksum by unanimous decision in October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nascimento is 4-1 in UFC with his only loss being a split decision to Tagir Ulanbekov. He\u2019s coming off a bonus clinching anaconda choke on Cody Durden in November. Before that the Chute Boxe product won a fun fight over Nova Uniao\u2019s Jafel Filho (which he came in heavy for).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the Maksum fight Raposo barked a lot about his odds for the bout. I don\u2019t love that he\u2019s paying that much attention to this stuff. He\u2019s got reason to be fired up in this fight, though, being the underdog again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I think Nascimento is very tough match-up for him here. Nascimento is three inches taller with five inches of reach on him. He\u2019s the more willing striker and his submissions are a big X factor in this fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Raposo likes to try and be a rag-dolling wrestler, but I think Nascimento (with those extra long limbs) will be very dangerous off his back (just look at some of the stuff he was able to pull off against Filho).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: Allan Nacscimento moenyline (-192)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2152502607.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4994\" data-pswp-width=\"7492\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"JJ Aldrich is back after a long absense.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2152502607.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>JJ Aldrich is back after a long absense.

That\u2019s when she took a unanimous decision over Andrea Lee. She was supposed to fight Karine Silva last summer, but fell out of that due to injury. She\u2019s 10-6 in UFC, having been with the promotion since 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Horth is on a two fight winning streak. She looked sensational in her last fight, lighting up Tereza Bleda for a first round TKO. Before that she dominated an under-sized Vanessa Demopoulos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Horth has shown some genuine improvement lately, so I think she\u2019s good value for her favorite odds here. She\u2019s also a size bully. I think she\u2019ll be too big for Aldrich to handle, especially during long wall and stall periods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: Jamey-Lyn Horth moneyline (-162)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2239850975.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4421\" data-pswp-width=\"6632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"This is what Mark Vologdin looks like.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2239850975.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is what Mark Vologdin looks like.

That\u2019s when he lost a split decision to Chris Gutierrez. Before that he lost a unanimous decision to Daniel Marcos. His last UFC win was a decision over Kyung Ho Kang in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Vologdin has been signed off Contender Series. In October he earned his contract by losing a war against Adrian Luna Martinetti (who is scheduled to debut on the next fight card). That has been called \u201cTHE GREATEST FIGHT OF ALL TIME\u201d by UFC\u2019s YouTube team. Vologdin is 12-4-1 in fights fought mostly on the Russian regional scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Vologdin seems pretty fun, but he\u2019s given up a lot of size to the veteran. I think Castaneda will use his experience, and superior wrestling, to prevent this fight being anything close to fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Best bet: John Castanade moneyline (-125)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2228247771.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4456\" data-pswp-width=\"6684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"At UFC Winnipeg, John Yannis will be looking to improve on his UFC debut.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2228247771.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At UFC Winnipeg, John Yannis will be looking to improve on his UFC debut.

He was served up to hot prospect Austin Bashi, on short notice, and lost by first round submission (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/8\/2\/24479579\/watch-video-highlights-results-espn-ufc-vegas-108-bashi-submission-yannis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

From there, I think there\u2019s a ground and pound win on the table for him.<\/p>\n<p>Two bet parlay: Croden vs. Zhelezniakova and Boser vs. Saricam both to finish under 2.5 rounds (+470)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I like Melissa Croden in this match-up and I think she might be able to break down Zhelezniakova and get a finish. The other fight is Heavyweight, so it\u2019s a coin flip on whether it will be a fun Heavyweight fight with a quick finish or a boring slog that goes five rounds. I think Gokhan Saricam\u2019s athleticism will lead to him either beating down TanBoser early or running into a KO shot.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Jourdain to win by Submission (+600)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Air Jourdain has two things he does exceptionally well and he likes to go to his guillotine when he has guys hurt (like he did to Davey Grant). I can see him snatching up his front choke on Kyler Phillips as Phillips pushes him into the fence looking for a takedown.<\/p>\n<p>To checkout the latest and greatest UFC Winnipeg: \u201cBurns vs. Malott\u201d news and notes be sure to hit up our comprehensive event archive right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-paramount-plus-news-hub-fight-cards-schedule\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC Winnipeg is live this weekend (Sat., April. 18, 2026) at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,85,1396,179146,19458,19457,7990],"class_list":{"0":"post-609924","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-ufc-news","15":"tag-ufc-on-paramount","16":"tag-ufc-odds","17":"tag-ufc-predictions","18":"tag-ufc-previews"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
