Noche UFC 4 odds and best bets
The following odds are all courtesy of the DraftKings Sportsbook.
Jean Silva vs. Jose Delgado (Featherweight)
| Fighter | Point spread | Total rounds | Moneyline |
| Jean Silva | -13.5 (-225) | O 1.5 (-195) | -410 |
| Jose Delgado | +13.5 (+165) | U 1.5 (+150) | +320 |
Silva vs. Delgado prediction and best bet
A member of the Fighting Nerds, Silva lands 4.82 significant strikes per minute. He also averages 1.20 takedowns landed per 15 minutes. While he absorbs 4.50 strikes, Silva is one of the most explosive athletes in the octagon. Diego Lopes halted his momentum but he regained it with a win against Arnold Allen.
Delgado fought in July. He lands 6.07 significant strikes and averages 1.37 takedowns landed. Delgado has also been taken down nine times in three fights.
Silva will have the luxury of a full training camp. Meanwhile, Delgado just fought, but not the same level of competition Silva has. Silva can easily overwhelm his opponents if he doesn’t make a mistake. Given the last-minute booking, Delgado could score the upset win. However, Silva has something to prove and shouldn’t waste the opportunity in front of him.

Brandon Moreno vs. Joseph Morales (Flyweight)
| Fighter | Point spread | Total rounds | Moneyline |
| Brandon Moreno | +3.5 (-225) | O 2.5 (-360) | -102 |
| Joseph Morales | -3.5 (+165) | U 2.5 (+260) | -118 |
Moreno vs. Morales prediction and best bet
A former flyweight champion, Moreno lands 3.84 significant strikes per minute and averages 1.36 takedowns landed per 15 minutes. At times, he can be explosive, as seen in the four-fight series against Deiveson Figueiredo. Five of his last six fights have gone the distance.
Morales has won two straight. He lands 2.00 significant strikes and averages 1.14 takedowns landed. The unranked fighter, who won The Ultimate Fighter 33, has eight knockout wins.
Moreno aims to win and end a two-fight losing streak. The Mexican fighter, 10th at flyweight, also looks to return to being a top contender. He’s competed in multiple five-round fights over the years. Morales has a chance to beat the toughest test of his career and enter the rankings with plenty of momentum. Some would say this is his potential crowning moment as the future.
Given all that, Moreno may not have as much mileage in the tank as he once did, but he’s still a force. Moreno should once again prove why he’s one of the UFC’s most entertaining and durable fighters.

Tommy McMillen vs. Marwan Rahiki (Featherweight)
| Fighter | Point spread | Total rounds | Moneyline |
| Tommy McMillen | -3.5 (+105) | O 1.5 (-180) | -142 |
| Marwan Rahiki | +3.5 (-140) | U 1.5 (+160) | +120 |
McMillen vs. Rahiki prediction and best bet
One of the most confident fighters out there, the young McMillen lands 13.54 significant strikes per minute. The Dana White’s Contender Series product landed 113 strikes against David Mgoyan and an astonishing 252 against Alberto Montes, breaking Nate Diaz’s record. Could McMillen be the next Golden Boy for the UFC?
Meanwhile, “Freaky” Rahiki won his DWCS fight via knockout. All his octagon fights have ended via the power punch. He has landed 7.75 significant strikes, decimating the competition. He also has plenty of confidence.
This could be a Fight of the Year candidate, featuring two young guns with plenty of pop. Tommy “Gun” and Rahiki have attempted to get after one another before the fight. Can they deliver in the octagon as they have during pre-fight obligations?
In a prospect vs. prospect fight, it’s the perfect time for the two to fight. Both will start by landing bombs. Who can successfully absorb the potential punishing shots that will be thrown? An all-action fighter, McMillen can’t tire out early after landing volume blows. Both have a chance to impress, but McMillen should be the last man standing.

Manon Fiorot vs. Alexa Grasso (Flyweight)
| Fighter | Point spread | Total rounds | Moneyline |
| Manon Fiorot | -3.5 (+110) | O 2.5 (-425) | -142 |
| Alexa Grasso | +3.5 (-145) | U 12.5 (+300) | +210 |
Fiorot vs. Grasso prediction and best bet
Grasso is a former UFC flyweight champion, earning a surprise submission win against Valentina Shevchenko in 2023. Since then, she has gone 1-2-1 in her last four. The Mexican fighter lands 4.11 significant strikes per minute. She also absorbs 3.71 strikes per minute.
Fiorot is 2-2 in her last four fights, including a loss against Shevchenko. She recovered in her last fight by taking out Jasmine Jasudavicius. The French fighter lands 5.66 significant strikes and averages 1.05 takedowns landed per 15 minutes. “The Beast” landed 172 strikes against Erin Blanchfield.
Grasso has the reach advantage while Fiorot towers over her. The former knows what it’s like to reach the top. Fiorot may be hungrier to return to title contention. She has beaten some of the top UFC fighters and should make a statement against Grasso.

Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Curtis Blaydes (Heavyweight)
| Fighter | Point spread | Total rounds | Moneyline |
| Waldo Cortes-Acosta | -3.5 (-135) | O 2.5 (-140) | -218 |
| Curtis Blaydes | +3.5 (+100) | U 2.5 (+110) | +180 |
Cortes-Acosta vs. Blaydes prediction and best bet
Cortes-Acosta competes in another 2026 fight after competing five times in 2025. He lands 5.34 significant strikes per minute. ”Salsa Boy” can also spice things up, averaging 0.40 takedowns landed per 15 minutes.
Blaydes lands 4.18 significant strikes per minute and has a 52% accuracy mark. His skills are on the floor, as Blaydes averages 5.12 takedowns landed per 15 minutes. While Jailton Almeida landed nine against him, the NJCAA National Championships gold medalist fought back with power shots. He had a thrilling heavyweight fight against Josh Hokit, losing the bout despite landing 174 significant strikes.
This is the People’s Main Event. Blaydes fell short multiple times attempting to become a contender. The one time he fought for gold, Blaydes got taken out vs. Tom Aspinall. Cortes-Acosta is an exciting fighter who brings plenty of pop. Is he ready for the next level of competition? Can Blaydes prove he still has what it takes to impress UFC brass?
It wouldn’t be hard to believe a motivated Blaydes turns back the clock and outstrikes Cortes-Acosta while also landing multiple takedowns.

David Martinez vs. Dan Ige (Bantamweight)
| Fighter | Point spread | Total rounds | Moneyline |
| David Martinez | -3.5 (-145) | O 2.5 (-230) | -440 |
| Dan Ige | +3.5 (+110) | U 2.5 (+175) | +340 |
Martinez vs. Ige prediction and best bet
Martinez lands 4.82 significant strikes per minute and averages 0.60 takedowns landed per 15 minutes. The Dana White’s Contender Series standout landed 71 strikes against Marlon Vera and 62 against Rob Font.
Ige is 1-4 in his last five fights. He lands 3.60 significant strikes and averages 0.93 takedowns landed.
Martinez looked ready for the big time in his last few fights. Ige is an aging fighter on the downswing of a fun career. Unless there’s a massive upset, Martinez should continue his momentum. Given that Ige has only had one stoppage loss, the fight should go the distance, with Martinez impressing in every round.
