The annual UFC Noche card goes down this weekend and we provide you with our betting tips and picks.<\/p>\n
The annual UFC Noche<\/a> event goes down this weekend from Glendale, Arizona. Although the original headliner fell out, we\u2019re still treated to a banger at the top of the bill. Highly ranked featherweight, Jean Silva<\/a> returns to action to take on the unranked Jose Delgado.\u00a0<\/p>\n The co-main event will see the former flyweight champion, Brandon Moreno<\/a> look to snap a two fight losing skid as he takes on TUF season 33 winner, Joseph Morales.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on the card, former flyweight queen Alexa Grasso<\/a> returns after her emphatic finish of Maycee Barber. She takes on former title challenger, Manon Fiorot<\/a>. Tommy McMillen<\/a>\u00a0returns after his record breaking win last time out to take on the fellow undefeated Marwan Rahiki. Highly ranked heavyweights Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Curtis Blaydes meet as both look to get back in the win column.<\/p>\n UFC Noche Betting Tips Although perhaps a \u2018boring\u2019 pick, sometimes these are the ones that make the most sense. Jean Silva is a level above Jose Delgado and there\u2019s a reason why one man is ranked and the other isn\u2019t. Although Delgado is a solid talent, there\u2019s little denying that he hasn\u2019t had the experience that Silva has, nor has he faced a similar level of competition. Marwan Rahiki via KO\/TKO<\/p>\n In a fight that has fight of the night written all over it, Tommy McMillen meets Marwan Rahiki in a battle of undefeated prospects. Although McMillen looked phenomenal last time out, landing 255 total strikes, he landed under half the strikes he threw. Against a sharpshooter like Rahiki, that spells danger. Yousri Belgaroui via KO\/TKO<\/p>\n Yousri Belgaroui is one of the best prospects in the UFCs middleweight division, the only issue is that he\u2019s 34 and hasn\u2019t got time on his side. The Dutch talent has a record of 10-3 and a kickboxing record of 27-7. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The annual UFC Noche card goes down this weekend and we provide you with our betting tips and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":890717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,36993,638,82,640],"class_list":["post-890716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-jean-silva","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=890716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/890717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=890716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=890716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=890716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nJean Silva via KO\/TKO<\/p>\n
Coming into the bout on short notice, there\u2019s a chance that Delgado treats this as a three round shootout and may not have the cardio for a five rounds war. Silva fights in a similar manner, never takes a back step and always looks to finish.
He\u2019ll have too much for Delgado and will look to make a statement with a big finish.<\/p>\n
Rahiki\u2019s 9-0 record features all finishes, of which eight are via KO\/TKO. He\u2019s too crisp a striker to get caught by McMillen, which should lead to the knockout victory.<\/p>\n
After gaining a contract on the Contender Series, Belgaroui has looked flawless in the UFC thusfar. He\u2019s recorded back to back knockouts, each being more brutal than the last. At 6\u20196\u201d, he\u2019ll have a six in height advantage over late notice opponent, Djorden Santos. He\u2019ll also enjoy a four inch reach advantage and with his slick striking, this will pay dividends. Belgaroui will again score a big knockout and hopefully, progress to bigger and better things.<\/p>\n
