UFC 292 Main Card Preview

Marlon Vera vs. Pedro Munhoz

Pedro Munhoz has bounced back nicely from a couple of 2021 losses. Munhoz fell to Dominick Cruz and Jose Aldo. But in his last couple of bouts, Munhoz appears to have gotten it together. In his last, Pedro beat Chris Gutierrez via unanimous decision.

Marlon Vera lost his last bout. However, the loss came against an excellent mixed martial artist in Corey Sandhagen. Also, Vera fell via split decision. The chalk in this prevails.

UFC 292 Pick: Marlon Vera

Da’Mon Blackshear vs. Mario Bautista

Oddsmakers have yet to set betting lines for Blackshear versus Bautista. When they do, Bautista projects as the favorite.

Mario is on a 4-match winning streak. He’s 3-1 via technical knockout and knockout victories. The likely chalk is 6-1 via submission wins.

Blackshear has a 14-5-1 record overall. But in his last couple of bouts, Da’Mon has picked up his game. Blacksher is 2-0 in his last couple. The projected underdog is also 9-0 via submission wins. The likely dog can bite.

UFC 292 Pick: Da’Mon Blackshear

Neil Magny vs. Ian Garry

Underdog Neil Magny has won 3-of-5. The good news if you’re hoping to back Magny is that he heads to the Octagon off a victory in his last, a split-decision win against Phil Rowe.

Irish fighter Ian Garry is 12-0. Garry’s record includes winning all 5 of his UFC bouts. Like O’Malley, Garry should have the TD Garden crowd behind him. The favorite is the pick.

Aljamain Sterling vs. Sean O’Malley // UFC Bantamweight Title

O’Malley finally gets his shot. For the past couple of years, UFC fans have clamored for an O’Malley versus Sterling fight.

On Saturday, it happens. But although Sean has a big chance, he faces one of the better mixed martial artists at UFC in any weight division.

Aljamain Sterling hasn’t lost since 2017. The champ is on a 9-match winning streak. During the streak, Sterling has beaten Petr Yan twice, Corey Sandhagen once, Pedro Munhoz once, and T.J. Dillashaw once.

In his last, Sterling beat Henry Cejudo via split-decision. This is a massive step up for O’Malley, who struggled to a split-decision victory over Petr Yan in his last. The ref lifts Sterling’s arm in victory.

UFC 292 Pick: Aljamain Sterling
