UFC Oklahoma City Main Card Start Time

Dricus Du Plessis vs Kamaru Usman

• Odds: Du Plessis -250 / Usman +200
• Projected ringwalk: ~10:15 pm ET / 7:15 pm PT

Du Plessis (23-3) returns for the first time since losing his middleweight belt to Khamzat Chimaev last August, and at 32 he’s still the division’s No. 2-ranked contender with two wins over champ Sean Strickland already banked.

Usman (21-4) jumps up from welterweight for the first time at 39, coming off a 13-month layoff and a win over Joaquin Buckley. Du Plessis is the bigger man and the favorite, but the winner likely lands the next title shot at 185.

Jared Cannonier vs Christian Leroy Duncan

• Odds: Duncan -400 / Cannonier +310
• Projected ringwalk: ~9:45 pm ET / 6:45 pm PT

The co-main pits 42-year-old former title challenger Jared Cannonier (18-9) against surging Brit Christian Leroy Duncan (14-2). Duncan has won four straight and six of his last seven with a 71% finish rate, which is why the line sits so far in his favor. Cannonier still carries real knockout power, so he’s live to spoil the climb.

Chase Hooper vs Mitch Ramirez

• Odds: Hooper -400 / Ramirez +310
• Projected ringwalk: ~9:15 pm ET / 6:15 pm PT

Chase Hooper (16-5-1) is a heavy favorite on the strength of his grappling, averaging well over two takedowns and two submission attempts per 15 minutes. Mitch Ramirez is still winless in the UFC and has been finished in each of his losses. Hooper should look to get this to the mat early.

Tommy McMillen vs Alberto Montes

• Odds: McMillen -180 / Montes +145
• Projected ringwalk: ~8:15 pm ET / 5:15 pm PT

The main card opens with two unbeaten-or-nearly-so prospects. Tommy McMillen (10-0) trains alongside Sean O’Malley and Tim Welch and earned a Performance of the Night bonus in his debut. Alberto Montes (11-1) is a real submission threat, with seven of his wins coming by tap. Fun measuring-stick fight for both.

UFC Oklahoma City Prelims Start Time

Tabatha Ricci vs Fatima Kline

• Odds: Kline -500 / Ricci +360
• Projected ringwalk: ~8:45 pm ET / 5:45 pm PT

Fatima Kline (9-1) steps in on about four weeks’ notice and is a big favorite, riding a three-fight win streak with a size and reach edge. Tabatha Ricci (12-4) is the ranked veteran but comes in off a loss to Virna Jandiroba and took this one on short notice too. Kline’s length could be the difference in a strawweight bout that closes the prelims.

Austin Bashi vs Jose Delgado

• Odds: Bashi -115 / Delgado -105
• Projected ringwalk: ~7:45 pm ET / 4:45 pm PT

A near pick-’em between two Contender Series products at featherweight. Austin Bashi bounced back from a debut loss with a first-round finish of John Yannis. Jose Delgado has three wins in four UFC starts, including a decision over Andre Fili. The line is basically a coin flip.

Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs Seokhyeon Ko

• Odds: Ko -185 / Lebosnoyani +150
• Projected ringwalk: ~7:30 pm ET / 4:30 pm PT

Both welterweights beat Phil Rowe in their last outing, which makes this a natural pairing. Seokhyeon Ko (13-2) is favored after wins over Oban Elliott and Rowe. Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani (10-2) is unbeaten in the UFC and riding a five-fight win streak.

Levi Rodrigues vs Felipe Franco

• Odds: Rodrigues -145 / Franco +120
• Projected ringwalk: ~7:15 pm ET / 4:15 pm PT

Levi Rodrigues makes his UFC debut with an unbeaten record and a 100% finish rate. Felipe Franco steps in off a competitive decision loss to Mario Pinto in London. Both men like to finish, so this light heavyweight bout shouldn’t drag.

Alden Coria vs Stewart Nicoll

• Odds: Coria -1200 / Nicoll +750
• Projected ringwalk: ~6:45 pm ET / 3:45 pm PT

This flyweight bout is the biggest mismatch on paper. Alden Coria (2-0 in the UFC) trains alongside champ Joshua Van and has looked sharp early in his run. Stewart Nicoll is 0-3 in the UFC and a massive underdog here.

RJ Harris vs Alvin Hines

• Odds: Hines -125 / Harris +105
• Projected ringwalk: ~6:15 pm ET / 3:15 pm PT

A close heavyweight scrap between newcomer RJ Harris and promotional sophomore Alvin Hines. Harris steps in unbeaten off a stoppage of Philip Latu and brings a height and reach edge. Hines dropped a competitive decision in his debut and sits as the slight favorite.

Anna Melisano vs Dione Barbosa

• Odds: Barbosa -650 / Melisano +475
• Projected ringwalk: ~5:45 pm ET / 2:45 pm PT

Dione Barbosa is the heavy favorite in this women’s flyweight bout, leaning on her UFC experience. Anna Melisano jumps up a division on short notice with a 6-1 record and six straight wins. Barbosa’s seasoning is the gap on paper.

Ezra Elliott vs Damien Anderson

• Odds: Anderson -120 / Elliott +100
• Projected ringwalk: ~5:15 pm ET / 2:15 pm PT

The card opens with a near pick-’em, and Anderson is the razor-thin favorite over Elliott. It’s a tight line on paper, so this one is worth catching early if you’re tuning in for the whole night.
