UFC Fight Night: Previews And Odds For The Card’s Most Intriguing Fights

Posted on November 20, 2023 by A. J. Riot

UFC Fight Night is set to take fans back to the UFC APEX for the final time this year, with some highly anticipated matchups scheduled for this coming Saturday.

In this article, we take a look at the six of the most interesting fights on the card, as well as the odds attached to them ahead of one of the last events of 2023.

Michael Morales vs. Jake Matthews

Michael Morales is -305 for a victory over Jake Matthews, who’s +245 to win this bout.

The fighters are very similar as they move at the same speed and register just about the same accuracy and distance defense, though Matthews’ defense from distance is lower. On another note, he has way more experience than his upcoming opponent as this will be his 19th fight in UFC while Morales only has four under his belt.

It does read as if Matthews is an aged veteran, but he’s only 29. He’s our favorite for this one given the huge difference in experience.
