Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Pick & Prediction 1/22/25

<p>After a thrilling UFC event in Australia, the action is set to return this weekend to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. This should be another great event to check out as there are some huge battles scheduled to take place. </p>



<p>Not only will there be some UFC mainstays battling it out this weekend, but this will also be the conclusion to the current season of Ultimate Fighter. Here is a look at some of the biggest bouts set to take place, and the top odds that you will want to focus on.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Great Main Event</h2>



<p>Middleweight veterans are set to battle it out on Saturday in the main event as Jared Cannonier will be taking on Caio Borralho. These are two fighters that have had some success throughout their careers, and the winner could be on a path to more success moving forward.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Cannonier just continues to be put in the spotlight as this will be the fourth straight time that he has been featured in a main event. He is not favored to win the fight this weekend though as his odds are sitting at +190.</p>



<p>Borralho came up through the Contender Series, and he will be looking to get a solid win against a proven veteran in the UFC. There is a reason that his odds are sitting at -230 as the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">betting</a> favorite, and you should expect to see him come away with a win in this event.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Women in the Co-Main</h2>



<p>The co-main event should be a great fight to check out as well as some talented women will be featured in the Octagon. Angela Hill and Tabatha Ricci are going to be looking to get a huge win in the strawweight division, and the odds could not be more tight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Both Hill and Ricci have odds sitting at -110 to win the battle this weekend, and they have both won some big events in the past. These fighters have very different fighting styles as well, and that will only add to the drama and intrigue that will be taking place.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ricci just hasn’t been able to pick up big wins in her past, but this will be another opportunity. Look for Hill to deny Ricci yet again as she is simply the better fighter in this matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Middleweight Finale of TUF 32</h2>



<p>The Ultimate Fighter is set to wrap up this weekend in the middleweight division and the title fight will be at the UFC Apex. This will be a matchup between Ryan Loder and Robert Valentin Frey, and these are two fighters that look to be pretty evenly-matched.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">betting</a> odds have Frey as the slight favorite at -185, but the odds for Loder are not too far behind at +154. That should lead to an excellent bout, and it will also create some good betting value.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Look for this to be one of the fights where the underdog comes away with the win, and those odds are sitting at +154. Jump on those odds as you will get a nice win on a main card fight at UFC Fight Night.</p>
