Prediction, pick for Marcin Tybura vs. Tyrell Fortune

10-year UFC veteran Marcin Tybura welcomes Tyrell Fortune to the promotion in a Heavyweight bout at tonight’s UFC Fight Night in Seattle, Washington. Tybura is 14-9 in the UFC, while Fortune is 17-3 and has competed in Bellator and the PFL for eight years. Since departing the PFL in 2024, Fortune racked up three straight victories all by way of KO/TKO. 

Check out my best bet below for Marcin Tybura vs. Tyrell Fortune, which is taking place on the Prelims of tonight’s UFC Fight Night.

RELATED Prediction, pick for Navajo Stirling vs. Bruno Lopes

Over 1.5 Rounds (-140)

Both fighters in this contest have 10 knockout wins. Fortune’s last loss came at the hands of Sergei Bilostenniy, ending in the first round via submission. Meanwhile, Tybura lost his last fight to Ante Delija in the first round but won two consecutive bouts before that. In this fight, Tybura has the height (6’3″ vs. 6’0″) and reach advantage (78″ vs. 75″).

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Fortune is a slight -130 favorite with the UFC veteran being a +110 underdog. This fight has an over/under of 1.5 rounds with the over currently at -140.

Even though Tybura and Fortune combine for 25 first-round finishes in their careers, I see this contest lasting longer than five minutes. The experience gap is a major factor in this fight, as Tybura is still ranked No. 8 among heavyweights, while Fortune hasn’t faced this level of competition before. Three of Fortune’s last five fights have gone past the first round, while two of Tybura’s last three bouts have lasted more than five minutes.
