UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Luque vs Muhammad 2
These two fought in 2016, with Luque scoring a sudden first round knockout after only six strikes. The odds were in Luque’s favor, with +105 for Muhammad and -123 for Luque at closing. In their last three wins, Muhammad was the favorite twice, upsetting Stephen Thompson as a +195 underdog. Luque has been the favorite since his loss to Thompson in 2019 as a +100 underdog, down from opening as a -105 underdog.
Muhammad has upset Thompson, Randy Brown and Tim Means, but lost to Geoff Neal, Alan Jouban (+125) and Luque, making him 3-3 as the underdog.
Fighter | Vincente ‘The Silent Assassin’ Luque | Belal ‘Remember the Name’ Muhammad |
Age | 30 | 33 |
Height | 5’11’’ | 5’11’’ |
Reach/Stance | 75’’ Orthodox | 72’’ Orthodox |
Record | 21-7-1 | 20-3, 1 NC |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 5/8 | 1/1 |
Fighter Training Camp | Sanford MMA, Various | Valle Flow Striking, Various |
Luque has the reach advantage and the UFC level finishing advantage, where Belal is mostly a decision fighter. Muhammad fought four times last year in 2021, and met up with finishers like Stephen Thompson and Takashi Sato, but these fighters pale in comparison to the finishing rates of Luque. In fact, of the fighters Muhammad has defeated, Tim Means has the most UFC finishes at 7, just half of Luques total finishing rate.
Beware the power of @VicenteLuqueMMA ??

Power like Luque’s is tough to train for, and just because Muhammad doesn’t usually get knocked out, doesn’t mean it can’t happen again.
Sanford MMA is one of the best places to train for takedown defense, and Valle Flow is one of the best to train for defensive striking, so each man is at the right gym to develop a game plan to negate the other’s offense.

Luque Money Line | -190 |
Muhammad Money Line | +150 |

Under 3 ½ Rounds | EVEN |
Under 4 ½ Rounds | -125 |
Will the fight go the Distance, Yes | EVEN |
Will the fight go the Distance, No | -130 |
I’m surprised that Luque isn’t a stronger favorite. Presumably, oddsmakers see Muhammad improving since their first meating. However, Muhammad’s grappling has been key in his victories, and Luque has maintained a 64% takedown defesne and increasingly dangerous submission work, as seen against high level grappler Michael Chiese last August.
UFC on ESPN 34 Prop Betting Predictions
Luque has finished his last four opponents via knockout or submission, eight of his last ten bouts were finishes, indicating the Under 4 ½ Rounds bet to be worth considering. Belal likes to fight to decisions, but I believe a submission win over Luque may be his only choice. Neither fighter has seen a five round fight, and with the blistering pace of either man, we could see fourth or fifth round finishes due to exhaustion.
I like ‘Will the Fight Go the Distance, No’ at -130 for fans of Luque, but the odds gap isn’t enough to make us shy away from our front runner pick.
UFC Fight Night: Luque vs Muhammad Main Event Prediction
For most fans, the concern will be with the Wonderboy fights. Muhammad won, but Luque lost definitively. This all comes down to fight strategy. Wonderboy has struggled with high level wrestling, including Gilbert Burns and Woodley. Luque was happy to strike for three rounds, believing in his power to end the fight deep in the third. It cost him the win. These fights were also two years apart, and for a 40 year old fighter, that can mean everything. Thompson may have seen the end of his peak performances with a win over Luque and Neal.
Our betting pick is Vicente Luque, for his power and the threat of catching Muhammad in a submission off his shot attempts. Luque pays out at $53 per $100 wager.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Omargadzhiev vs Borralho
Neither fighter’s betting history extends outside of DWCS. This would be a fight that could happen in five or six years when they’re both contenders. Caio was the underdog in his first DWCS appearance at +125 and a -900 favorite in his second. He was set to fight Jamie Pickett in January but the fight fell through. Gadzhi was a -350 favorite in his DWCS win in November.
Fighter | Gadzhi Omargadzhiev | Caio ‘The Natural’ Borralho |
Age | 29 | 29 |
Height | 6’1’’ | 5’10’’ |
Reach/Stance | 71’’ Switch | 75’’ Southpaw |
Record | 13-0 | 10-1, 1NC |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 1/0 | 0/1 |
Fighter Training Camp | Golden Team | Fighting Nerds, Various |
Gadzhi is the bigger man with a four inch reach disadvantage. Outside of the UFC he’s faced mostly low level Russian fighters, with five of his thirteen wins over fighters with less than five wins. His last two wins were over 7-0 and 7-1 fighters.
Caoi’s only loss was back in 2015. He’s looked fantastic over his last five, but has also fought primarily unknowns.
Golden team is a more tested training environment, with a number of ACA competitors and UFC fighters cross training at this camp. The KSW star 15-0-1 Shamil Musaev is also out of this camp. Fighting Nerds in Brazil have done well on the local level, but fighters like Uyran Carlos stumble when they reach higher levels (two losses in LFA, no wins for a major organization.) Gadzhi has the advantage in training environment.

Omargadzhiev Money Line | -130 |
Borralho Money Line | +110 |
Over 2 ½ Rounds | -110 |
Under 2 ½ Rounds | -120 |
Over 1 ½ Rounds | -185 |
Under 1 ½ Rounds | +140 |
Gadzhi is the obvious favorite, using that classic Dagestani wrestling we’ve come to recognize in Russian fighters. Borralho opened at +130 and has come up slightly toward closing. Both fighters looked fantastic at DWCS, but Omargadzhiev dominated his opponent without taking any damage at all, save a few ground strikes from bottom position.
UFC Prop Betting Predictions
The under 2 ½ Rounds could be a solid bet. Ghadzhi has finished eight of his thirteen fights total and Caio has finished four of his last eight fights. In fights with more talented fighters, Borralho often takes the bout to decision, and he’s willing to clench and lay on opponents to slow them down. I believe that Omargadzhiev and Barralho both are willing to have a slow showing in order to win.
Betting on UFC on ESPN 34: Our Co-Main Pick
Given his grappling centered style and willingness to go for submission, Gadzhi Omargadzhiev has defeated tougher fighters overall and has never been stopped. Gadzhi pays out at $77 per $100 wagered.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Baeza vs Fialho
Fialho lost his UFC debut to Michel Pereira as a +250. All other odds are for various organizations including XMMA, UAE Warriors and PFL 2019 playoffs. He ranged from +250 to -649, losing twice as the favorite and once as a +210 underdog to Chris Curtis. Fialho faces Baeza, who’s lost his last two in the UFC at -139 and -138. He won his first four in the UFC ranging from -139 to -400. This is a chance at redemption for both athletes.
Fighter | Miguel ‘Caramel Thunder’ Baeza | Andre Fialho |
Age | 29 | 28 |
Height | 6’2’’ | 6’0’’ |
Reach/Stance | 74’’ Orthodox | 74’’ Orthodox |
Record | 10-2 | 14-4-1 |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 1/2 | 0/0 |
Fighter Training Camp | MMA Masters | Sanford MMA |
Baeza has been a killer for the majority of his career, going 10-0 until June 2021. He was stopped in his last fight with Williams in the third round, absorbing 49 significant strikes before the stoppage. His slight height advantage may help him in the clench, but Fialho was surprisingly complicit in striking with Pereira despite losing the whole fight on the feet.
Fialho is mostly a knockout artist, but has two TKO losses outside of the UFC. The biggest win of his career is a 2021 knockout of former UFC fighter James Vick on the tail end of his five fight losing streak.

Baeza Money Line | -175 |
Fialho Money Line | +145 |
Over 1 ½ Rounds | -175 |
Under 1 ½ Rounds | +135 |
Baeza by Points | +250 |
Baeza by TKO | +135 |
Baeza is the superior fighter, and a narrow favorite. We’ve included only his prop bets, because Fialho’s feel like too much of a longshot to consider. There are other props available at PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!, but we’re ignoring all but our top choices.
UFC Prop Betting Predictions
Over 1 ½ Rounds feels like a likely bet, as both fighters have been knocked out in the third round in the past. Chidi Njokuani put Fialho down in the first round in 2016, prior to his time at Sanford MMA. Baeza by TKO is a nice odds boost, but nothing we’re considering over the money line. Baezahas the superior submission game, and Fialho hasn’t scored a sub in his last ten fights. The UFC on ESPN 34 betting odds don’t offer enough to consider the ‘fight doesn’t go to decision’ props.
UFC on ESPN 34 Prediction
Baeza looks to be the superior fighter both defensively and offensively. If Fialho allows for the clench, he will lose a slow decision. Baeza’s loss to Khoas Williams was an explosive exchange and sudden TKO, and Fialho doesn’t have that level of athleticism. Betting on Baeza will offer $57 per $100 wager.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Yanan vs Silva
This is Mayra’s seventh UFC bout, with odds ranging from -155 to +110. This is the strongest favorite position of her career. Wu is 1-3 in the UFC with odds from -130 to +300. She upset Lauren Mueller in 2018 as a +300 underdog in her only UFC win. Both fighters’ opening odds were -110, but Silva’s line has moved dramatically in closing, down from -500.
Fighter | Wu ‘Mulan’ Yanan | Mayra Bueno Silva ‘Sheetara’ |
Age | 26 | 30 |
Height | 5’8’’ | 5’6’’ |
Reach/Stance | 66’’ Orthodox | 66’’ Orhtodox |
Record | 12-4 | 7-2-1 |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 1/0 | 3/0 |
Fighter Training Camp | Xinjiang Fight Gym, Jackson-Wink | Chute Boxe Diego Lima |
Yanan has the better stats on paper with more experience, a more proven gym and a slight height and age advantage. Sheetara has more UFC finishes and that counts for plenty. She was also able to survive Manon Fiorot, which is a big deal, as Fiorot has a 50% UFC finishing ratio.
Wu’s first full camp at Jackson’s was for this upcoming fight. She has knockout power that hasn’t been seen before in the UFC, and her bout with Gina Mazany was at 125, an abnormal weight class for her.

Bet Available at Betonline.ag | Odds |
Yanan Money Line | +350 |
Silva Money Line | -450 |
Over 2 ½ Rounds | -200 |
Under 2 ½ Rounds | +150 |
Yanan is a big underdog, and many see the fight going to a decision. The -200 over is a big favorite, but both fighters have knocked out fighters outside of the UFC. Wu had a close fight with Inoue Mizuki, out striking her on paper by thirty total strikes.
UFC Prop Betting Predictions
I think this fight could be over early. Neither fighter goes for takedowns very often at all, with Wu scoring only two over four fights and Silva never making an attempt at all. We’ll see a stand up, kickboxing centered match up. If we had to choose a prop, our pick is the Under.
Wu vs Silva Prediction
Wu was robbed in her fight with Inoue, and I think she should be 2-2. Silva’s only really beaten one successful UFC fighter in Gillian Robertson. This fight isn’t the blowout the odds are making it out to be. Our upset of the night is Wu Yanan, paying three and a half times your wager. There’s a reason these two opened with even odds.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Sabatini vs Laramie
Sabatini is undefeated in the UFC, winning twice as the underdog at +115 and +130. Laramie’s first two betting odds include his win to Daniel Swain as a -335, and a recent guillotine loss to Minner at -310. Sabatini is the clear favorite, and has only been stopped by injury in his 19 fight career.
Fighter | Pat Sabatini | T.J ‘The Truth’ Laramie |
Age | 33 | 24 |
Height | 5’8’’ | 5’6’’ |
Reach/Stance | 70’’ Orthodox | 66’’ Orthodox |
Record | 16-3 | 12-4 |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 1/0 | 0/1 |
Fighter Training Camp | MPR Endurance MMA | Maximum Training Centre |
Sabatini is the bigger man and has more career finishes. His record in the UFC speaks for itself, dominating in both decision wins by either takedowns or ground strikes. His heel hook of Jamall Emmers took only 1:53.
Laramie has multiple knockout wins outside of the UFC, but his takedown play into the hand of Sabatini. Minner’s submission finish is foreshadowing of what’s to come against Sabatini.

Over 2 ½ Rounds | -150 |
Under 2 ½ Rounds | +115 |
Sabatini by Points | +115 |
Laramie by TKO | +700 |
Sabatini by Submission | +175 |
Sabatini is the favorite both in money line and prop bets, with his BJJ style skewing the props in favor of an early night.
UFC Prop Betting Predictions
Sabatini should end the fight before the second, but there is always a chance that two grapplers see a long night. Sabatini by submission at +175 is the only prop that I would consider taking outside of the money line.
We agree with the UFC on ESPN 34 odds, our pick is the Pat Sabatini money line at -500, a $20 return per $100 wagered. If you do bet the submission finish, avoid a parlay.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Knight vs Clark
Clark has lost his last two, putting him at 2-3 over his last five. He was the underdog in both losses, and his last upset win was Darko Stosic in 2019 at +105. He’s the favorite against Knight, and hasn’t lost as the favorite since his -150 bout with Jan Blachowicz in 2017. Knight has only lost twice in the UFC, at +150 and +127. He upset Menifield at +150 and Camur and Brundage at +125. In his career, Knight has only been the favorite once at -170.
Fighter | William ‘Knightmare’ Knight | Devin ‘Brown Bear’ Clark |
Age | 34 | 32 |
Height | 5’10’’ | 6’0’’ |
Reach/Stance | 73’’ Orthodox | 75’’ Orthodox |
Record | 11-3 | 12-6 |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 0/3 | 0/0 |
Fighter Training Camp | Thorton MMA | Jackson-Wink |
Clark is the bigger light heavyweight, as are most 205 pound fighters. Knight’s 5’10’’ frame is better suited for welterweight. Clearly, Knight has an advantage in finishing power, with three knockouts at the UFC level, though two were for DWCS. Clark is the favorite due to his time at Jackson-WInk, a much more proven school than Thorton. Jackson’s had a short skid, but multiple alumni are recently back in the win column, such as John Dodson.

Knight Money Line | +145 |
Clark Money Line | -175 |

Clark is a slight favorite. He’s only ever won by decision in the UFC, so the over is also a popular bet. Keep in mind two of Knight’s finishes were in the first round, but one was deep in the third.
Caught him on the counter ?

— UFC (@ufc) April 13, 2022
Knight has to get fighters moving forward to make up for range disadvantages.
UFC on ESPN 34 Knight vs Clark Betting Predictions
Knight’s last loss was to Maxim Grishin, a fighter with a 78’’ reach. It was clear Knight had trouble closing the gap, landing only 21 strikes in three rounds. I feel that Clark will play a similar range game, and be forced to look for the takedown. Our betting pick is the Over 1 ½ Rounds at -300, for the possibility of a late finish from either fighter. This bet pays out at $33 per $100 wager.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Kianzad vs Lansberg
Lina has had eight fights in the UFC going 4-4. Her four wins include three upsets ranging +220 to +375. Her recent loss to McMann was at +125, and Lina opened as the favorite at -150. Pannie Kianzad lost to Pennington last September at +117. She had a four fight winning streak ranging from +125 to -225 prior to that loss. Kianzad’s strong favorite status isn’t surprising, but Lansburg is in this fight.
Fighter | Pannie ‘Banzai’ Kianzad | Lina ‘Elbow Queen’ Lansberg |
Age | 30 | 40 |
Height | 5’7’’ | 5’7’’ |
Reach/Stance | 66’’ Orthodox | 65’’ Orthodox |
Record | 16-6 | 10-5 |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 0/0 | 0/0 |
Fighter Training Camp | Frontline Academy, various | Redline Training Center |
Pannie has a decade of youth on her opponent and an additional six career wins. Neither fighter has a major training camp advantage. The UFC stats show Pannie landing an average five more strikes per minute, but Lina getting damaged about 25% less often overall. Kianzad will be forcing the pace, while Lansberg slows it back down.

Kianzad Money Line | -450 |
Lansberg Money Line | +325 |
Over 2 ½ Rounds | -400 |
Under 2 ½ Rounds | +275 |
Pannie Kianzad by Points | -200 |
Lansberg by Points | +600 |
Kianzad is a major favorite, tying the Over 2 ½ Rounds prop bet. Neither fighter has seen a UFC finish to date, and many believe that Lansberg could be Kianzad’s first UFC knockout, especially considering the athlete just turned forty years old.
Kianzad by points may be a solid bet for fighters looking for a double odds boost, but our money is on the money line. Kianzad pays out at $22 per $100 wager in a fight we think could put her back in the UFC limelight.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Klose vs Jenkins
Ironically, The Human Highlight Reel was knocked out in his UFC debut as a +225 underdog. In PFL and LFA he was the favorite, but was upset once there as well. Klose is coming off his second UFC and career loss to Beniel Dariush as a +155 underdog in 2020. Prior, he was a regular UFC favorite, upsetting fighters like Lando Vannata at +170. He beat Bobby Green at -250, and Giagos at -170. Klose has been off since a shove from Jeremy Stephens at weigh ins gave him a concussion.
Fighter | Drakkar Klose | Brandon ‘The Human Highlight Reel’ Jenkins |

Reach/Stance | 70’’ Orthodox | 71’’ Switch |
Record | 11-2-1 | 15-8 |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 0/0 | 0/0 |
Klose is the slightly smaller man. He has less experience overall but has only lost at the UFC level. Jenkins has been knocked out multiple times, but also has multiple knockouts in LFA and PFL.

Klose Money Line | -800 |
Jenkins Money Line | +500 |
Over 2 ½ Rounds | -110 |
Under 2 ½ Rounds | -120 |
Klose by Points | -115 |
Klose is a very strong favorite. This is a tough fight to bet on, because Klose will look to take it to the distance, and Jenkins will look for a very early win. With Dariush knocking out Klose, he showed us it’s possible that Klose can be put away.
UFC on ESPN 34 Betting Predictions
Klose has fought knockout artists before and survived, but strikers like Bobby Green were able to hit him again and again. I think Klose could lose this fight. For that reason, we’re betting the Under 2 ½ Rounds at -120. Be cautious with this bet, as the chances of a Klose decision win are high in the oddsmaker’s eyes, but we don’t see it.

UFC On ESPN 34 Prediction for Garcia vs Ronson
Ronson has lost three straight for the UFC, ranging from -115 to +270. He did well in PFL and ACB. Ronson choked Dalby as a +250 in his last fight, but was overturned and suspended for Methandienone, also known as Dianabol.
Garcia won his last fight in a narrow decision over Natan Levy at -110. He was a +900 underdog in his loss to Haqparast and a -290 to Chris Gruetemacher.
Fighter | Rafa ‘Gifted’ Garcia | Jesse ‘The Body Snatcher’ Ronson |

Reach/Stance | 70’’ Orthodox | 70’’ Southpaw |
Record | 13-2 | 21-10 1 NC |
Submissions/TKO in UFC | 0/0 | 0/0 |
Garcia has lost fewer fights overall, and his bout with Haqparast wasn’t the blowout many expected it to be. He gives up height to Ronson but has a nine year age advantage. Ronson;s losses come postly prior to 2016. He’s been active as a pro since 2009.

Garcia by Points | +175 |
Ronson by points | +140 |
Ronson by TKO | +600 |
Ronson Is a slight favorite, with many seeing a decision win on his part. This, mostly due to Ronson’s striking defense, taking an average two less strikes per minute. Garcia has far superior takedowns, and will find the top position repeatedly.
UFC Prop Betting Predictions
The over is a good bet between these two decision centered fighters. I can see Garcia winning the bout off control time alone. Ronson will have a slight advantage on the feet. A bet on Garcia is a double boon, because if Ronson is busted by USADA again, you’ll get your money back on the loss.
Garcia vs Ronson Predictions
Rafa’s takedowns against Levey and Gruetzemacher showed his true skill. He landed 12 takedowns in two fights, and Ronson gave up twelve in his last four. Our betting pick is Rafa Garcia -110. He’s likely to win by a narrow decision. This bet pays out $91 per $100 wager.

Buday has never seen a decision, but hasn’t fought anyone outside of European regional fights, scoring easy victories in Oktagon Prime as well. The bet ‘Fight Goes to Decision, No’ is the obvious choice for us. It pays out $21 per $100 wager. There is no such thing as a guaranteed finish, but this is as close as it comes.

Reach/Stance | 72’’ Orthodox | 71’’ Southpaw |

Submissions/TKO in UFC | Debut | 2/1 |
Ogden had a great showing in Fury FC 53, but he has been finished before. He’s lost three times via submission, playing right into the hands of Jordan Leavitt. Leavitt’s slam knockout has gained major highlight status, but his ground game is next to none in the top position. This is a grappler versus grappler match up, one that Leavitt tends to win, though his last loss was due to control time given up to Claudio Puelles at -200.

Don’t pull guard on Leavitt.
I do not understand these odds. Ogden has more losses, he’s a smaller fighter, and no UFC level experience. Leavitt was the favorite in opening odds at -155, but the lines shifted as bettors weighed in. This is our top bet of the night, Leavitt at +110. He’s never been finished, and Ogden has taken more career damage. The only question is, does Ogden have a better nickname, and does that matter? Leavitt pays out at $110 per $100 wager.

Hughes by Points | +285 |
Nunes is a slight favorite, and we agree. Hughes was knocked out by Tecia Torres, and Nunes was winning the fight in striking count in her first UFC showing, so were not counting out a finish. Don’t bet the points or Over prop despite the temptation. Nunes could win this fight via TKO or decision. A bet on Nunes pays out $45 per $100 wager.

Croom’s first submission win was overturned due to cannabis use. Alanteng is the much smaller fighter, and that range cost him in his past two fights. Croom has struggled in his last two because of takedown defense, and Alanteng will be looking to exploit that, taking seven takedowns in his two UFC wins.
