UFC will host two 2025 fight cards in Abu Dhabi later this week Robert Whitekar And Rainier Day Reder UFC Fight Knight (ABC/ESPN+at 3 pm ET, ESPN/ESPN+with prelims in the afternoon) at Etihad Arena on Saturday).
UFC is ranked in Middleweight Champion, Whittaker, No. 6 Divisional ranking of ESPNHe faced losses compared to the first round Khamajat chimav UFC 308 in October in its last Ashtakona appearance.
The D Radder, an unpublished by ESPN, is a former two-division champion in a championship. Day Rader has been undefeated since the UFC Fight Night introduced the UFC last November. He has completed his three UFC opponents.
ESPN MMA analysts and commentators provide their main phenomena predictions, and ESPN betting expert Ian Parker adds insight at the best price stake on the Fight Card.
We are not sure that the D Radder fits the highest level, and turns younger people from the top of the Whitkar Division. He is just a better martial artist in this case. The D Radder is a better grapeper, but I am uncertain if he can take Whitekar down and catch him there. D Radder is coming out of a win BoatBut the better Nick has seen, the top fighter like Robert Whitekar is crazy to move beyond that matchup. , Anthony Smith
D Radder has a lot of experience that he can tap. This will not be very big for him-fighting a five-round main program against one of the best middleweight in UFC history. The further pressure of the D Radder, as well as their length, will wear on the whiter and force them to make mistakes. Once Whitkar does this, the D Radder is an unforgivable fighter that does not allow you to fix. , Deen Thomas
Betting analysis
Are accurate as publication. For the most up-to-date obstruction, travel ESPN condition,
Parker: Whitekar to Win (-115). D. Radder is getting its most difficult test in pre -shampoo. Whitekar Cheemo is suffering disastrous losses. Can he bounce back?
I believe that he will win over the growing claimant here. The size and grappling capacity of the D Radder are their biggest threats. On the legs, their striking is less than desirable, and thus the competition he has fought is not yet compared to what Whitkekar has faced. Additionally, Whitkar has more experience of fighting in the championship round. D. Radder has expanded only one professional battle beyond round 3, and we have seen it faded as if the fight goes on. To prevent Di Rader’s initial Tekdown attempts, look for Whitekar and stand out for the fight, where they win by knockout or decision.
Parker’s best bet on the rest of the card
Men’s flyweight: Asu Alambayev Vs. Jose Ochoa
Ochoa to win (-110). I am taking Ochoa which should be a fun and fast matchup. OCHA recently showed its creative, high-level striking and its finishing power in this weight class. Ochoa needs to prevent Tekdown efforts from Almbayev. If he does so, it is to win the battle. In his last battle, Almabayev had zero success Maneel Cap On the ground, to force him into a kickboxing fight. As a result, he was TKO’D in Round 3. The blueprint to defeat Almabeyav is there, and I believe that Ochoa follows it to win.
light heavyweight: Nikita cryloov Vs. Bogdan Guskov
Crillov for victory (-185). This is a big step in the competition for Guscov after the recent victory Billy IlecanGuscov is a skilled striker, but I hope it will be put on his back within the first two minutes of this fight. To lose until an established UFC experienced crylov, a good victory Dominic rays In his last outing.
Expect wrestling and gaple to snatch Gaskov’s knockout power. Although Krillov is a better striker, his biggest advantage is when the fight hits the mat. He will go mad that he does not reach it as soon as possible.
light heavyweight: Ibo asan Vs Billy Ilecan
Asan to win by KO/TKO. Sitting as a favorite 2 -to -1 favorite, Alasen saw back to the win column against Ellana. Asan still needs to improve his ground game and submit rescue. Fortunately, Alecan is not a wrestler. This battle will probably be on the feet, and Asan should get quick and often descend. Elekana is coming out of a bad loss in her UFC debut, and I am not watching this matchup in a very different way.
