He was able to choke out Tai Tuivasa in just four minutes into the first round and he will be looking to replicate that same success and keep his winning ways going this weekend at UFC Vegas 95.

• Tybura has already faced off against Serghei Spivac back in 2020 where he used his grappling to win a unanimous decision.
• Since their first encounter, Tybura has gone 7-2 in his next 9 fights with three of those wins coming inside the distance.

In this matchup against Spivac, he will need to do more of the same as he did in their first fight where he dominated in the grappling. Keeping this fight at distance gives Spivac the chance to win this fight but inside the clinch, Tybura will have the size and strength advantage to win those positions.

• Therefore, as long as Tybura can be the one pushing the pace, coming forward, and initiating the clinch and grappling exchanges it should be more of the same as their first fight as Tybura out-grapples Spivac to an eventual late finish or a nod on the judge's scorecards.

Damon Jackson vs Chepe Mariscal Betting Odds and Prediction

Best Prop Odds: Damon Jackson (+185) BetMGM Sportsbook

Damon Jackson got back on track with a big split-decision victory against Alexander Hernandez in his last fight.

• That now puts him at 6-4-1, 1 NC in his 12 fights with the UFC.
• Jackson has fought the who's who of the featherweight division since his UFC debut fighting the likes of Mirsad Bektic, Ilia Topuria, Pata Sabatini, Dan Ige, Billy Quarantillo, and Alexander Hernandez.

Jackson will need to bring out the dog fight against Mariscal and make this a grueling fight to wear on Mariscal who drastically missed weight by over three pounds. The grappling pace that Jackson will set in this matchup will be key to him being victorious and getting back on another winning streak.

As long as Jackson can avoid spending long periods on the feet where Mariscal will have the speed advantage, he can drag this fight to the mat and dominate from thereafter to get his second win in a row and keep his winning ways going.

Nikolay Verretennikov vs Danny Barlow Betting Odds and Prediction

Best Prop Odds: Nikolay Verretennikov (+300) DraftKings Sportsbook

Nikolay Veretennikov gets his shot on the big stage when he steps up on short notice for his UFC debut to take on Danny Barlow this weekend at the UFC Apex.

• Veretennikov tried to secure his contract on the Contender Series back in 2021 but ultimately lost to one of the top prospects in the welterweight division Michael Morales.
• Of his 12 pro wins, 9 of them have come by knockout.

Veretennikov is as tough as they come and will be looking to come forward and put the pressure on Barlow. By doing just that, he will be making Barlow fight off of his backfoot which is something he is not accustomed to doing.

If Veretennikov can avoid the power of Barlow's left hand while throwing volume his way there is a chance that he can either crack the chin of Barlow or just outwork him over the course of this fight to get his first win inside the Octagon and give Barlow the first defeat of his career.
