Thirty-one-year-old Joaquin Buckley has been one of many UFC’s rising stars during the last 12 months or so. He’s received his final six fights — 4 by knockout or technical knockout — the newest being a third-round physician’s stoppage towards former welterweight champion Colby Covington at UFC on ESPN 63 in December.
Earlier than that, Buckley additionally knocked out the legendary Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson at UFC 307 in a battle that noticed Buckley earn Efficiency of the Evening. Contemplating the truth that Kamaru Usman is coming off a virtually two-year hiatus after dropping three consecutive fights, it seems like an inevitability that Buckley provides him to his graveyard of UFC legends and ex-champions. I’m unsure it’ll take that lengthy, both.

Rose Namajunas is among the extra recognizable names within the UFC ladies’s division after a sequence of title runs within the late 2010s and early 2020s. Nonetheless, in 2025, there’s little or no worth in betting on Namajunas as a reasonably substantial favourite towards a red-hot Miranda Maverick.
Namajunas has misplaced three of her final 5 fights, two of these losses coming by unanimous choice. Maverick, then again, has received 4 fights in a row outright — three of these by unanimous choice. In complete, 5 of Maverick’s seven wins within the UFC have come by choice. I see Maverick’s odds of a win by choice having nice worth on this battle, and I additionally imagine Namajunas is a favourite on this matchup strictly off identify worth.

I wouldn’t usually suggest betting on such an early end at this worth, however this battle is fairly simple. Abdul-Malik is an extremely gifted striker, and Brundage can’t defend the strike to save lots of his life. Abdul-Malik is the largest favourite on all the card straight up at -800, and his odds to win by KO/TKO are nonetheless juiced at -330 — which means a stoppage inside the primary two rounds at -190 odds is definitely the very best worth we’ll discover for this battle.
Abdul-Malik is 8-0 in his skilled MMA profession, with seven of these wins coming by knockout or technical knockout within the first or second spherical. Brundage, then again, has solely received 4 of his final 9. Brundage’s six profession losses have been a combined bag — KO/TKOs, choices and submissions — however I might search for the early knockout by Abdul-Malik on this one.
