UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos Betting Tips

Raoni Barcelos to win outright +165

Raoni Barcelos is the underdog heading into this one, but there's good reason to think that he can pull off the upset. The Brazilian has been in there with much higher opposition than Rosas Jr and is enjoying a five fight winning run. It's worth remembering that he was put in there with a hot prospect, Payton Talbott, beforehand and shocked everyone after he won, despite being a +710 underdog.

Rosas Jr will look to take this oe to the floor, but Barcelos has a 87% takedown defence and has a strong wrestling game himself. If he can keep this one where he wants it, he's more dangerous on the feet and can certianly outwork the Mexican. 

Norma Dumont to Win Outright + 110

Norma Dumont seemed on the cusp of a title shot following her impressive six fight winning run. Although that run was snapped by Joselyne Edwards last time out, it'll likely just make the Brazilian even more hungry to get back in the win column.

Her opponent, Ailin Perez is also on a six fight winning run, although those that she's beaten are not of the level of Dumont. She impressed against Darya Zheleznyakova, although she missed weight in that one. Her entire brand appears to be based around her 'twerking', whereas Dumont seems much more serious about the sport. Lock in Dumont in this one.

Sedriques Dumas to Win Outright +130

It's the battle of which man can snap his losing streak in Las Vegas this weekend. Mickey Gall hasn't made the walk for almost two years and hasn't won in the UFC since 2021. The man who welcomed CM Punk to the octagon has a 7-7 record and is enduring a miserable four fight losing run.

Sedriques Dumas is on a similar miserable run, although he's been more active as of late. He hasn't recorded a win since 2024 and is without a win in his last four with three losses and a no contest. His activity is likely going to pay dividens in this one and that's why we're picking him, despite being an underdog.
