In the final UFC event of the year, the promotion is set once again to return to the Apex Arena for UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Strickland.
A number of fun fights litter this card, with the likes of Arman Tsarukyan, Alex Caceres, Drew Dober, and many more all competing.
Join us below for our best bets for this UFC Fight Night card!
In the main event of this fight card, we will take the slight underdog in Jared Cannonier.
Cannonier has a distinct power advantage over Strickland, which he pairs with a lethal leg kick game. Strickland will attempt to walk him down, and apply his signature pressure-based approach. But it has only been 4 months since Strickland was viciously KO’d by Alex Pereira, and as we saw recently with Kyle Daukaus, brutal knockouts can carry on into the following fight if the right amount of time to recover is not taken.
Cannonier may not KO Strickland, but we are banking on him to have big round-winning moments, that at the very least will sway the judges in his favor. Cannonier’s ML is priced at 1.92 on Betway.
Bringing that POWER to our #UFCVegas66 main event

In the co-main event, Arman Tsarukyan takes on Damir Ismagulov in an extremely high-level lightweight clash.
We are going to take Arman Tsarukyan to win via decision. Ismagulov is a decision machine – having gone the distance in all 5 of his UFC fights. The fight will likely be very competitive, but Tsarukyan just has that special something should be enough to see him pick up the win here.
Tsarukyan by dec is priced at 2.40 on Betway.
Finally, we take Amir Albazi and Sergey Morozov both to come out on top in their respective bouts.
Albazi is a top 15 flyweight, who has looked near unstoppable since signing for the UFC. He takes on a short-notice opponent in Alessandro Costa, who is making his UFC debut.
Morozov is a very solid bantamweight with truly dangerous striking, He faces off against Journey Newson, who simply appears to be a step below Morozov in terms of skill and physicality.

Former TUF season 28 champion Bryan Battle has picked up a 3-fight win streak since joining the UFC and is now looking to make it 4 in a row when he takes on a short-notice bout against highly regarded newcomer Rinat Fakhretdinov.
At the UFC Apex in August, Battle secured a finish with an electrifying head kick knockout against Takashi Sato. Since this fight, Battle has changed his previous nickname from “Pooh Bear” to “The Butcher”.
Battle took the time to speak with LowKick MMA’s Alex Behunin to discuss his nickname change and the upcoming short-notice bout.
On changing his nickname to “The Butcher”, Battle says:
“It’ll be ‘The Butcher’. That’s what we’re doing out here, we’re finishing these dudes and taking their hearts afterwards… As a fighter I’ve evolved so much, my mentality as a fighter has changed, my style as a fighter has changed. And so, I’m just gonna keep that attitude and keep that swagger going into this one and all the fights afterwards, I’m coming for all these dudes’ necks.”
Battle’s upcoming opponent Fakhretdinov was originally booked to fight Michael Morales; however, Morales suffered a toe fracture and was forced to pull out of the bout. When the vacant spot in this bout opened up, Battle did not hesitate to throw his name into the mix:
“When I saw (Michael) Morales pull out I didn’t even look Rinat up, I just messaged my agent and I was like I can take that fight. Rinat’s definitely a tough dude, but I’m tougher.”
Bryan Battle was humble in praising his opponent, but firmly believes that he will come out victorious on Saturday Night. Battle continued:
“He’s got a really good system that he’s good at executing, but I got more systems. I got answers to his problems, and you know, me preparing for him on two weeks that’s not a problem because I prepare for everybody every day. Preparing for me on two weeks that’s a problem, you know what I’m saying that’s not possible.”
“He’s a grinder, but with that being said, he doesn’t do a whole lot of different things. He kind of has certain things that he does very well… I have a lot of different ways that I can handle those things that he does very well… I’m just a matchup problem in general it’s not something I’m sweating too much. You can look for me to exploit some openings that I see on the feet. If we do end up locked up, you can look for me to stay calm and composed, not to get flustered, not to get tired, to make all the right decisions at the right times. If it hits the ground, you can look for me to be the superior grappler.”
To conclude the interview, Battle was asked for his prediction on how he would get his hand raised on Saturday Night to which he confidently stated:
“I think TKO in the second round.”
Bryan Battle vs. Rinat Fakhretdinov will be one of the most anticipated prelims on the UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Strickland card at the UFC Apex on Saturday Night. Don’t miss out as Bryan Battle looks to stretch his unbeaten streak in the UFC to 4 when he takes on opponent Rinat Fakhretdinov on only two weeks’ notice.

Former undisputed UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, Conor McGregor, is officially an unranked fighter under the banner of the organization for the first time in an eight-year period – after he fell from the lightweight top-15 upon the release of the latest ranking update.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion during his time with the promotion, most recently headlined UFC 264 back in July of last year against the #2 ranked, Dustin Poirier – suffering a first round doctor’s stoppage loss after he fractured his left tibia and fibula.
In the time since, Conor McGregor, 34, has yet to return to active competition under the banner of the promotion, as he recovers from a surgical procedure to address his debilitating leg injury. And recently made his intentions clear to make a return to the Octagon at the welterweight limit of 170lbs.
Upon the release of the nw updated UFC rankings this week following last weekend’s UFC 282 event in Las Vegas, Nevada, McGregor has now dropped from the #14 rank in the division, and entirely out of the top-15 to boot – with the surging, Grant Dawson replacing the Dubliner in the official pack.
Without a victory at the lightweight limit since November 2016, Conor McGregor minted himself as the first two-weight champion held simultaneously under the banner of the UFC on that occasion, landing a second round TKO victory over Eddie Alvarez.
In the time since, McGregor has gone 0-3 in the division, suffering stoppage losses to former undisputed champion, Khabib Numagomedov, and a pair of defeats to former interim titleholder, Poirier.
McGregor’s most recent professional win came at the welterweight limit back in January 2020, stopping future Hall of Fame inductee, Donald Cerrone with a 40-second high-kick and strikes knockout in their main event slot.
