Prediction, pick for Cody Chovancek vs. SuYoung You at UFC Edmonton

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

Tonight’s UFC Fight Night in Edmonton begins with a Bantamweight bout between Cody Chovancek and SuYoung You. You is 16-4 with eight finishes and has started his UFC career 3-1. This is Chovancek’s UFC debut after he earned a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series with a win against Raphael Uchegbu in September 2025. The Prelims begin at 5:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+.

Check out my best bet for Cody Chovancek vs. SuYoung You at tonight’s UFC Fight Night below.

Cody Chovancek Moneyline (-130)

Chovancek is fighting in his home country of Canada; he’s from Ontario, and the event is in Edmonton. He trains at a popular Canadian MMA gym, Niagara Top Team, where two of his teammates on this card, Mike Malott and Jasmine Jasudavicius, also train. 

You suffered his first UFC loss to Elijah Smith in March. Before that, You was on a six-fight unbeaten streak from January 2024 to August 2025. In November 2024, You beat Baergeng Jieleyisi to win the Road to UFC Tournament Championship, earning a UFC contract. 

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Chovancek is the favorite at -130, with You as the underdog at +110. The over/under is 2.5 rounds, with the over at -188 and the under at +145. Chovancek has a two-inch advantage in height (5’8″ vs. 5’6″) and standing reach (67″ vs. 65″). Chovancek’s aggressive style could make it tough for You to keep up and succeed. Also, since You is the smaller fighter, he will need to exert more energy to make an impact.
