The first fight at today’s UFC Fight Night is a Women’s Strawweight bout between Shanelle Dyer and Ravena Oliveira. Dyer, 24, is 6-1 with four knockouts but is coming off her first career loss. Oliveira has a record of 7-3-1 with seven finishes, but has suffered back-to-back defeats. The Prelims begin at 1:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+ with the Main Card starting at 4:00 p.m. ET. The earlier start time is due to this event taking place at the 02 Arena in London, England.
Check out my best bet for Shanelle Dyer vs. Ravena Oliveira at today’s UFC Fight Night Prelims.
Shanelle Dyer To Win By Decision (-160)
Shannelle Dyer is competing in London, England, where she is from. In September 2025, she came up short against Carol Foro on Season 9, Week 5 of Dana White’s Contender Series. Before that, she won her first six fights, with four of them being by knockout. Usually, when fighters lose on DWCS, they have to get in the win column before joining the UFC, but Dyer is an exception to that.
Oliveira lost to Stephanie Luciano via submission in her last fight, which was her first appearance in two years. From February 2019 to August 2023, Oliveira was dominant, winning seven consecutive bouts, all by submission or knockout. But now, Oliveira is back and searching for her first victory since August 2023.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Dyer is a massive -485 favorite with Oliveira being the underdog at +370. This fight has an over/under of 2.5 rounds, with the over being -270. It has been 22 months since Dyer’s last knockout, making my favorite play for her to win by decision at -160. Even though Dyer lost her last fight, she still recorded 115 significant strikes and should be able to get the best of Oliveira with her quickness and power on the feet.
