The UFC returns to the META Apex and we give you all our betting tips for this weekend's event.

The UFC returns to Las Vegas for UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Duncan, and we give you our betting tips and picks for what promises to be a fun night of fights.

In the main event, Brendan Allen looks to continue his good form when he takes on the man in similarly good form, Christian Leroy Duncan. The Brit is looking to make a splash in his first promotional main event.

The co-main event features fellow Brit Jai Herbert as he takes on Brazil's Matheus Camilo, and there are plenty of other fights on the card to get excited for.

UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Duncan Betting Tips

Allen via unanimous decision

Having won his last three outings, Brendan Allen is full of confidence heading into this one. The American defeated Marvin Vettori via unanimous decision in July 2025, outgunned Reinier de Ridder in a main event slot before besting Edmen Shabazyan last time out. 

At #5 in the middleweight division, he's certainly in the title conversation and another big win here could catapult him into contention.

CLD has been on a similar tear. Since losing his first UFC bout, he's gone 5-0 with two finishes. Importantly, he's taken a significant step up in competition and come out victorious on both occasions. After winning three straight, he beat Roman Solidze and Jared Cannonier both over 15 minutes to cement his name in the rankings.

Allen has fought better opposition, and although he hasn't always come out on top, he's gained vital experience at the highest level. CLD will provide a different and difficult test on the feet, but expect Allen to ground the Brit and come away with a wrestling-heavy victory.

Loopy Godinez via unanimous decision

Loopy Godinez returns after losing her last outing to Tatiana Suarez via rear naked choke. The Mexican has fallen short when competing against the elite of the division, and luckily for her, her opponent on Saturday isn't at that level.

Ketlen Souza has been a member of the UFC roster since 2023, and her run has seen her go 4-3 thus far. Her last outing saw her notch a devastating head kick knockout over Ariane Carnelossi; however, outside of that victory, she's not looked amazing.

Expect experience to play a big factor in this one, and the experience is on the side of Godinez. She's fought better opposition and will likely look to wrestle her way to victory.

Malcom Wellmaker via knockout

Heading into Vegas, Malcom Wellmaker is looking to snap a two-fight losing skid after making a blistering 10-0 start to his career. He began his UFC tenure with two straight knockouts after gaining a contract on the Contender Series; however, he ran into Ethyn Ewing and was then finished last time out against Juan Diaz.

Wellmaker takes on Otari Tanzilovi who is 0-1 in the UFC. The Georgian has only lost twice, both via decision; however, we're expecting the American to go in there, put his two previous losses behind him and get back to his knockout ways.
