Moreno vs Albazi Predictions
Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno (21-8-2, 9-4-2 UFC) goes to war with Amir Albazi (17-1, 5-0 UFC) in the main event of UFC Edmonton on Saturday night.
Moreno last fought at UFC Fight Night Moreno vs Royval 2 in Mexico City in February, losing a razor-tight split decision to Brandon Royval. “The Assassin Baby” is a on a two-fight losing streak for the first time in his career, having lost his UFC flyweight championship to Alexandre Pantoja vis split decision at UFC 290.
Brandon Moreno:
⬇️Lost in the first round of TUF.
⬇️Went 3-2 in his initial UFC run, and got cut.
⬇️Won LFA title.
⬇️Came back to the UFC, and won 3 in a row.
⬇️Gets a draw against Figgy.

Born in Baghdad, Amir Albazi now fights out of Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas and is slowly climbing the UFC rankings. He’s coming off of a split decision victory over Kai Kara-France last June, and has won all five of his UFC scraps. He had to pull out of this contest earlier this year with a spinal injury that required surgery.
However, Albazi appears to be all the way back and prepared for the biggest fight of his life. Six of Albazi’s career victories have come by way of knockout, but he is far from a high-volume striker. In fact, “The Prince” has absorbed my significant strikes per minute (3.07) than he has dished out (2.8) in his UFC career.
Expect to see Moreno’s experience, athleticism and striking ability get the best of Albazi in the UFC Edmonton main event.
- Moreno vs Albazi Pick: Brandon Moreno by decision (+170)
Blanchfield vs Namajunas Predictions
Erin Blanchfield (12-2, 6-1 UFC) is one of the most accomplished grapplers in the UFC flyweight division. She’s won six of her seven UFC scraps, but is coming off a loss to Manon Fiorot in March.
Impressively, Blanchfield finished former contenders Molly McCann and Jessica Andrade in their bouts. Devastating both with fabulous submissions. She sports a 33% takedown accuracy with a fantastic 81% takedown defense in her UFC career.

On the other side of the Octagon, Rose Namajunas is a dangerous striker. “Thug” has won two straight bouts after dropping two straight contests. She dominated both Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez in the leadup to this bout, and now gets a step up in competition as she aims to return to the top of the UFC flyweight ladder.
Rose wins by pushing the pace, cornering opponents and unleashing her thunderous hands. While she has seven finishes in her career, her last win that didn’t go to the judges score cards was back in 2021. In fact each of her four bouts since have gone the distance.
With 3.7 significant strikes landed per minute, Namajunas is a volume-based puncher. If she can keep her UFC Edmonton bout with Blanchfield standing, she’s got a great shot to pull out the victory.
Backing Namajunas as an underdog is the play. Her high-level Brazilian jiu-jitsu will enable “Thug” to keep the fight standing and land the more significant shots vs Blanchfield.
