UFC Fight Night Preview and Picks
Edson Barboza will enter the fight as a heavy underdog against Lerone, given that Murphy is much younger and will have an easier time cardio-wise. Murphy will need to neutralize Edson’s kicks, and he should be fine as he stands as a -148 favorite. Lerone Murphy might get his hand raised this weekend, keeping everything in mind. Khaos Williams will fight Carlston Harris in the Welterweight division in the co-main event.
Williams is a far more experienced fighter of the two and has fought opponents of a much higher caliber. Khaos might take the victory home after the three rounds end. Themba Gormibo takes on Ramiz Brahimaj. Gormibo is a much better fighter than Brahimaj and is in possession of some serious power. He happens to be a -135 favorite in the fight. Bantamweight star Adrian Yanez takes on Vinicious Salvador and his exquisite grappling ability, and the oddsmakers have him as a -360 favorite over Salvador.
The main card will begin with Luana Pinheiro taking on UFC veteran Angela Hill in the cage. Hill has been fighting in the UFC for almost a decade now. The oddsmakers have Hill as a -135 favorite in the fight. It will be interesting to see what happens in the octagon, as MMA never fails to surprise us.
