UFC Fight Night odds, fight card, predictions: MMA expert reveals picks for Della Maddalena vs. Prates, other fights

  • On Saturday night, Australian Jack Della Maddalena faces Brazilian Carlos Prates in the main event at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, in a welterweight bout.
  • Della Maddalena enters this bout after a demoralizing unanimous decision loss to Islam Makhachev in New York City last November, where judges scored the defeat 50-45 and ended his 18-bout winning streak.
  • Prates enters as a-130 favorite after knocking out Leon Edwards at UFC 322, having won 13 of his last 14 matches with the third-highest knockdown average per 15 minutes in welterweight division history.
  • Seeking to wipe the slate clean, Della Maddalena said, "The whole 25 minutes have to be completely switched on," emphasizing his focus on avoiding mistakes that cost him the title.
  • Analyst Marley, who has returned over $21,000 on UFC picks since May 2018, backs Jonathan Micallef to defeat Themba Gorimbo, while Della Maddalena draws inspiration from 37-year-old Volkanovski's career longevity.
