One of the best fighters this year in the UFC has been Reinier de Ridder, who has gone 4-0 with three finishes in the last 11 months. No. 4 De Ridder is now taking on No. 9 Brendan Allen in the Main Event of this week’s UFC Fight Night, taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the Rogers Arena. De Ridder was originally scheduled to face Anthony Hernandez, but he was forced to withdraw from the fight due to injury. Seven Canadians are featured throughout this card, with four fighting on the Main Card.
RDR is coming off the most significant victory of his UFC career, as he beat former champion Robert Whittaker by split decision in an incredible fight in July. De Ridder is likely one win away from earning a title opportunity against the reigning Middleweight Champion, Khamzat Chimaev.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, the former ONE Champion title holder, De Ridder, is a -198 favorite while Allen is a +164 underdog. Allen is coming off a victory against Marvin Vettori after losing to Nassourdine Imavov and Hernandez. In the last three years, Allen is 8-2 with five wins by submission.
The always exciting and entertaining Kevin Holland will have his fifth fight of 2025 in the co-main of this card against Canadian Mike Malott, who has won eight of his previous nine bouts. Holland lost his last fight against Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 318 in July, but won two in a row before that. This fight is currently even, with both fighters having the same odds of -110.
Another exciting fight on this card is No. 7 Marlon “Chito” Vera vs. No. 9 Aiemann Zahabi in a three-round Bantamweight contest. Zahabi has won six straight fights, while the former title challenger, Vera, hasn’t gotten into the win column in over two years. “Chito” is a +110 underdog in this matchup while the red-hot Zahabi is a -130 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The first of three fights, featuring two top 10 fighters, is between No. 2 Manon Fiorot and No. 5 Jasmine Jasudavicius. Fiorot recently challenged for the title at UFC 315, as Jasudavicius is riding a five-fight win streak. In this fight, Fiorot is still the favorite at -230 even though she’s coming off a loss, with Jasudavicius being +190.
