UFC Vegas 106 Main Event: Betting Odds, Line Movement And Predictions - Gilbert Burns Vs. Michael Morales

Burns (22-8) is the No. 8 competitor in the official UFC welterweight rankings. Burns had won six straight when he battled then-UFC welterweight champ Kamaru Usman in February 2021. Usman won that contest by TKO in the third round. Since that setback, the 38-year-old Burns has gone 3-4. He is riding a three-fight losing skid heading into UFC Vegas 106, falling to Belal Muhammad, Jack Della Maddalena, and Sean Brady in those contests.

Burns fell from No. 6 to No. 8 following his UFC Vegas 97 decision loss to Brady in September 2024.

Morales (17-0) joined the UFC in 2021 when he won a contract via a decision victory on a Dana White’s Contender Series fight card. Since then, Morales has gone 5-0 with the UFC with three knockouts and two decisions.

The 25-year-old Morales broke into the official UFC welterweight rankings in August when he earned a “Performance of the Night” bonus for his first-round knockout win over long-time UFC competitor Neil Magny.

The main event of UFC Vegas 106 is an excellent opportunity for the 38-year-old Burns to show that he remains an elite UFC welterweight. As for Morales, Saturday’s UFC Fight Night is his chance to show that he belongs among the top 10 of the 170-pound division.

When the betting odds opened for the UFC Vegas 106 main event, Morales was a significant -600 betting favorite over the +425 Burns. Today, Morales comes in at -800, while Burns is the +550 betting underdog.

With the lopsided odds, it’s no surprise to see that 91 percent of wagers have come in on Burns. However, it is somewhat surprising that Morales has earned 59 percent of the handle while presenting so little betting value.

The pick is for Morales to win via decision, but the value is clearly in Burns to win via upset.

UFC Vegas 106 Co-Main Event: Betting Odds, Line Movement And Predictions - Paul Craig Vs. Rodolfo Bellato

Paul Craig has been with the UFC since 2016. He enters his UFC Vegas 106 matchup against Rodolfo Bellato on the worst run of his professional career, going 1-5 since July 2022 and losing his past three outings. Craig knows Saturday’s fight could be his last under the UFC banner with a loss. As for Bellato, he is a relative newcomer to the UFC, joining the promotion via the Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023. He is 1-0-1 with the promotion and coming off a UFC 312 draw with Jimmy Crute.

When the betting odds opened for this bout, Bellato was the -350 favorite over the +275 Craig. Today, Bellato is listed at -550, while Craig is the +400 underdog. Craig has 70 percent of the bets, while 65 percent of the money is on Bellato.

The betting pick is Bellato to win via knockout, but for those looking for value, Craig by submission, while extremely unlikely, is the bet.

UFC Vegas 106: Betting Odds, Line Movement And Predictions - Sodiq Yusuff Vs. Mairon Santos

Sodiq Yusuff ends an absence of more than a year at UFC Vegas 106. He makes his lightweight debut following a 6-3 featherweight run with the UFC. Yusuff, who has back-to-back losses on his record heading into Saturday’s fight card, faces Marion Santos, who is 2-0 with the UFC and the winner of Season 32 of “The Ultimate Fighter.”

When the odds opened on this contest, Yusuff was a +120 betting underdog to the -145 Santos. Those odds have shifted slightly. Today, Yusuff is +120, while Santos is the -140 favorite. Yusuff has 51 percent of the bets, while Santos has 60 percent of the handle.

The betting pick is Yusuff to win via decision.

The betting pick is Ruziboev to win via knockout.
