UFC London Predictions

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Jack Latham

Main Card Predictions:

Kurtis Campbell vs Danny Silva

After securing a first-round TKO on Dana White’s Contender Series, Kurtis ‘The Pink Panther’ Campbell is set to make his UFC debut against the Brazilian Danny Silva.

Campbell is currently 8-0 as a professional MMA fighter, with the featherweight from Liverpool securing four knockout victories and one submission in his seven Full Contact Contender fights.

The ‘Pink Panther’ has a background in Muay Thai and won a world title when he was younger, creating a base for a successful MMA career.

His opponent, Danny Silva, made his UFC debut in March 2025, where he defeated Lucas Almeida via split decision.

Since then, he was defeated via unanimous decision by the rising prospect Kevin Vallejos, a great learning experience for Silva.

Silva has a primary base in boxing and likes to apply constant pressure to his opponents, combining strikes in the pocket with constant leg kicks.

This is a tough start to life in the UFC for Campbell, but I believe he can get the job done via a decision.

I think Campbell will try to keep his range from Silva and work off his jab, mixing in takedowns when the opportunity arises.

Silva may land some big strikes in the pocket exchanges, but I think Campbell will be more active in the fight, landing more consistently and causing more damage to his opponent.

UFC Fight Night: Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott — Full Preview & Prediction

Posted on March 20, 2026 by A. J. Riot

The battle between Burns vs. Malott will take place on April 18, 2026, at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The excitement around the UFC fight night has attracted a lot of individuals worldwide, including Neosurf casinos users. This battle will witness the return of high promotional media coverage to Winnipeg. This was once seen in 2013 when Rashad Evans beat Dean Henderson in the UFC 161 match.

Burns is a force on his own, as he is the former title challenger and currently ranks 11th in the welterweight division. Malott, on the other hand, will be coming into this battle to extend his winning run to 4 straight wins. This combination makes this UFC Fight Night matchup a battle to boost ego and show supremacy. It is going to be one of the most anticipated matchups in the 2026 UFC April Calendar.

Figure 1 The top fighters in UFC will be preparing for title fights in the months ahead – Source: Unsplash

Two months into 2026, and we have already witnessed some incredible bouts in UFC. Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett headlined the first big show of the year, with the American fighter claiming the interim lightweight title thanks to a unanimous decision after five rounds of the headline bout of UFC 324.

That event was swiftly followed by UFC’s eighth visit to Australia, where local favorite Alexander Volkanovski retained his featherweight belt thanks to another unanimous decision against Diego Lopes. More recently, there have been some high-octane Fight Nights in Las Vegas and Houston to round off February’s UFC schedule.

Now, our attention turns to yet another star-studded event at the home of UFC, the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. All the best UFC betting online sites will already be doing brisk business as fans back their favorites ahead of the big show. The next few months promise to be some of the most explosive yet in mixed martial arts. Here’s what’s coming up in the world of UFC.

UFC 326: Oliveira vs. Holloway for BMF Gold

Posted on February 26, 2026 by A. J. Riot

Charles Oliveira knows how to take a punch. He has taken a few. After all, the man has been in 47 professional bouts. Winning some, losing some. Never giving up in the process. That’s Do Bronx for you. If some other fighters were in his boots, he would have retired a while ago, but not Charles Oliveira. Instead, he will put his body on the line once again when he meets Max Holloway at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 7th. For a fighter of Oliveira’s past there couldn’t be a better opponent than Blessed, for a symbolic title of the Baddest Mother F**ker in the UFC.

While symbolic in terms of UFC rankings, for two fighters of Holloway’s and Oliveira’s pedigree it means more than your average title. Max more than deserved to carry the BMF belt, after securing it in a memorable fashion at UFC 300. Oliveira, on the other hand, is trying to get another title shot through this bout, and despite his 36-11 record is entering the T-Mobile Arena as an underdog. You will need all the betting tips for UFC 326 you can get as this match is going to be a tricky one.

While every bookmaker out there is pitting the odds against the Do Bronx, Charles is not one to be underestimated. In the past, he carved a career out of being a fighter and bookie underestimating him. He is prepared to go against the odds once again, and we’re more than eager to witness how he will do it. Oliveira can win, and we have more than a few ideas on how he could do it under the right circumstances.
