Before locking in your UFC Fight Night picks, you NEED to see the latest MMA predictions from SportsLine MMA analyst Kyle Marley. 

Over the past three-plus years, $100 bettors who have followed Marley's picks are up nearly $10,000, and since May 2018, he has returned well over $21,000!

The accomplished MMA analyst has provided consistent winners for SportsLine members for the past five years. His accomplishments include hitting five consecutive main-event underdog winners in 2020 following the UFC's brief pause in action because of the pandemic. He also went 7-5 on his picks at last week's UFC card. Anyone who has followed Marley could be way up.

This week at UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Almabaev, Marley is backing Nasrat Haqparast (+240) in a lightweight bout versus Esteban Ribovics (-298). "This should be a fun, high-paced striking match," Marley said. "It's another one where I think the line is too wide, though. I don't see Ribovics winning this fight more than 70% of the time, and it wouldn't shock me to see Haqparast mix in takedowns and look like he should have been the favorite himself. The striking can go either way, so I'll take Haqparast to win a split."

Marley also has strong picks for Kape vs. Almabaev and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night card. He's also backing an underdog who he says is the "slightly better striker and wrestler" to pick up a split decision victory! You MUST see his UFC picks before making any of your own.
