Tonight’s UFC Fight Night is taking place in Winnipeg and begins with the Prelims at 5:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+. Julien Leblanc faces Robert Valentin in a three-round middleweight contest on this card. This is Leblanc’s first UFC fight and is currently riding a five-fight winning streak.
Check out my best bet for Julien Leblanc vs. Robert Valentin at UFC Winnipeg.
Julien Leblanc Moneyline (+140)
Before making his UFC debut, Valentin was on a six-fight unbeaten streak with five finishes. But now he finds himself on a three-fight losing streak and attempting to get back in the win column for the first time since August 2024.
The 34-year-old Leblanc has finished his previous three opponents, and last competed in Samurai MMA and Unified MMA. Leblanc last fought Ryan Rohovich in November 2025. Both fighters are 6’2″, but Valentin has a three-inch height advantage (77″ vs. 74″) in this contest.
In this contest, Valentin is a -166 favorite with Leblanc being a +140 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 1.5 rounds with the over being -175 and the under at +135. Even though this is Leblanc’s first fight, I’m going to ride with the fighter who has more momentum right now. Leblanc, like Valentin, is an elite finisher, but Valentin has lacked the necessary urgency in recent fights.
