Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic: Itauma by decision
Prediction sources disagree on the finish. One projection has Moses Itauma defeating Filip Hrgovic by decision after 12 rounds, while other forecasts suggest a knockout for either fighter within the first five rounds. Hrgovic is viewed as an experienced and strong test for the younger Itauma.
The decision market is the more measured angle because Hrgovic’s experience could keep the fight competitive. Itauma remains the younger fighter with a chance to force a stoppage, but the available evidence does not establish a reliable late-round finishing sequence.
Umar Nurmagomedov vs Song Yadong: Favor Nurmagomedov
The available market projection lists Umar Nurmagomedov at 1.15 and Song Yadong at 6.20. Prediction sources favor Nurmagomedov because of his height advantage and Song’s reported grappling issues.
One projection gives Nurmagomedov the highest probability of winning by decision, with a knockout also regarded as a realistic outcome. Song has a short recent winning streak in one source, while other reports highlight losses to strong opponents. Nurmagomedov remains the clearer side, but the moneyline price leaves limited room for error.
Brandon Moreno vs Joseph Morales: Moreno by decision
Joseph Morales enters the matchup with an eight-fight finishing streak and recent first-round wins. Brandon Moreno has title experience but is seeking to end a four-fight winless streak in his home arena. The available prediction favors Morales because of his current form and finishing ability.
Moreno by decision is the contrarian angle. His experience could help him manage Morales’s early pressure and keep the fight competitive over the scheduled distance. Morales has the stronger recent momentum, but Moreno’s experience makes a decision-based upset plausible.
| Fight | Market | Pick |
|---|---|---|
| Itauma vs Hrgovic | Method | Itauma by decision |
| Nurmagomedov vs Song | Method | Nurmagomedov to win |
| Moreno vs Morales | Method | Moreno by decision |
The available projections point to Nurmagomedov as the clearest side, while Itauma-Hrgovic has conflicting finish predictions. Moreno’s experience offers an upset angle despite Morales’s finishing streak and stronger recent form.
