The UFC moves from Los Angeles to the Meta Apex in Las Vegas for a new card. The event centers on bantamweight fighter Raul Rosas Jr. He enters the cage on a specific date to face Raoni Barcelos. This marks his first main event appearance at age 21.

Barcelos poised for upset

Raoni Barcelos enters as the underdog with odds of +165. He has faced tougher opponents than Rosas Jr. in the past. His recent victory over Payton Talbott shocked the industry. That win came against a +710 underdog odds line.

Wrestling strength defines Barcelos’s game. He maintains an 87% takedown defense rate. This skill allows him to keep the fight standing. On his feet, he can outwork the Mexican competitor effectively.

Dumont seeks redemption

Norma Dumont carries a six-fight winning streak into this bout. Her previous loss to Joselyne Edwards snapped that run. She now aims to return to the win column. Her opponent, Ailin Perez, also holds a six-fight winning streak.

Perez impressed against Darya Zheleznyakova but missed weight. Her style is described as less serious by analysts. Dumont appears more focused on the sport itself. Betting tips favor Dumont at +110 for the outright win.

Dumas breaks losing streak

Sedriques Dumas faces Mickey Gall in a battle of streaks. Gall has not won in the UFC since 2021. His record stands at 7-7 with four straight losses. Dumas has also gone winless in his last four fights.

Dumas has been more active recently despite the losing run. His last win came in 2024. He has three losses and one no contest in his recent history. Analysts believe his activity level gives him the edge at +130.
