UFC Fight Night Vera vs. Sandhagen Betting Analysis for the Main Card Bouts

When: Saturday, March 25 at 7:00 pm ET
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX
TV / Streaming: ESPN/ESPN+

Chidi Njokuani vs. Albert Duraev

Odds: Chidi Njokuani -166 vs. Albert Duraev +129
Weight class: Middleweight

Underdog Albert Duraev had won 4 straight before his last. In his last, Duraev lost to Joaquin Buckley via TKO.

Chidi Njokuani also lost his last fight via stoppage. Njokuani faced Gregory Rodrigues and lost via second round TKO/KO.

The difference between the two is that Chidi has much more UFC experience than Duraev. Albert is a good MMA artist, but Njokuani has fought at the top MMA league longer. The favorite prevails.

Alex Perez vs. Manel Kape

Odds: Alex Perez +146 vs. Manel Kape -188
Weight class: Flyweight

Underdog Alex Perez is taller by an inch but the favorite in this bout has the longer reach by 2.5 inches.

Perez is 24-7. He’s lost his last couple of fights versus Deiveson Figueiredo via submission in 2020 and against Alexandre Pantoja via submission last year.

Manel Kape is on a 3-fight winning streak. Kape is 11-0 via knockout or technical knockout and 5-2 via submissions. The fact Kape is undefeated via TKO or KO tells us he’s going to use his reach advantage in this bout.

Andrea Lee vs. Maycee Barber

Odds: Andrea Lee +204 vs. Maycee Barber -270
Weight class: Women’s Flyweight

Andrea Lee heads to the Octagon having lost 3 of her last 5. Lee fell to Viviane Araujo via unanimous decision in her last. It happened last May, which means Lee has been off for 10 months.

Favorite Maycee Barber is on a 3-match winning streak. Barber has gotten by Miranda Maverick, Monta De La Rosa, and Jessica Eye.

Beating those three impresses, but, maybe, not as much as one might think. For sure, Barber is fighting well but Lee has a better chance than the odds imply.  

UFC Fight Night Pick: Andrea Lee | Bet Nate Landwehr vs. Austin Lingo Today

Nate Landwehr vs. Austin Lingo

Odds: Nate Landwehr -232 vs. Austin Lingo +176
Weight class: Featherweight

Favorite Nate Landwehr has won 3-of-5. Nate is on a 2-match winning streak.

Austin Lingo has won 4-of-5 and 2 straight. The problem with backing Austin is that he hasn’t fought since 2021.

But Lingo is 3-0 via TKO or KO wins and 2-0 via submission victories. Austin is also 9-1 overall. The odds on the dog entice.

Holly Holm vs. Lana Santos

Odds: Holly Holm -256 vs. Lana Santos +192
Weight class: Women’s Bantamweight

Holm has a 2-inch height and 1-inch reach advantage. Also, although Holm lost her last, it was versus 13-3 Ketlen Vieira.

Santos has 3 wins and 2 losses in her last 4. Don’t think for a moment Dana White signed Holly to a 6-fight deal to see her lose the first.

But Lana could have other ideas. The odds make the underdog worth backing.

Marlon Vera vs. Corey Sandhagen

Odds: Marlon Vera +133 vs. Corey Sandhagen -172
Event: Bantamweight – Main Event

Vera versus Sandhagen should be a terrific bout. Marlon is on a 4-match winning streak.

Corey has won 3-of-5. Sandhagen won his last fight, beating Song Yadong via fourth-round doctor stoppage.

Vera is a step up from Yadong. Also, Marlon is fighting better overall than Corey. Go with the underdog to cash.
