Two Light Heavyweight prospects, Levi Rodrigues Jr. and Felipe Franco, will face off on the Prelims of tonight’s UFC Fight Night. Rodrigues earned a contract after scoring a first-round knockout against Freddy Vidal on Dana White’s Contender Series in October 2025. But after that, Rodrigues’ previous victory was overturned, and he received a nine-month suspension due to testing positive for a banned substance. Franco is 10-2 with 10 finishes but is coming off a loss to Martio Pinto in his UFC debut.
Check out my best bet for Levi Rodrigues Jr. vs. Felipe Franco at UFC OKC below.
Under 1.5 Rounds (-125)
France started his MMA career 8-0 with eight finishes, but since then has gone 2-2 in his previous four bouts. His last win was against Douglas Felipe Santos in February. Including his last fight that was overturned, four of Rodrigues’ six MMA fights have ended in the first round. This is an intriguing contest as both fighters are elite finishers. Santos is the more versatile fighter in this contest, as he is skilled both on the feet and on the ground.
In this fight, Rodrigues is a -142 favorite with Franco being a +120 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. With both fighters combining for 15 finishes, this contest is -450 to not go the distance and +300 to last the scheduled 15 minutes.
Rodrigues’ last two fights have ended in the first round, and four of his six MMA fights haven’t gone past one round. Nine of Franco’s 10 victories have occurred in the first round. With Franco coming off a loss and Rodrigues returning after a suspension, both fighters should enter this bout extra aggressive to try and score a quick finish.
