Who is Favorite to Win?

The favorite to win Renato Moicano vs Benoit Saint Denis is Benoit Saint-Denis. Saint-Denis had his five-fight win streak snapped by Dustin Poirier earlier this year and will be desperate to get back into the win column. Renato Moicano has also won five of his last six fights, with the winner of this fight one step closer to a UFC lightweight title shot. 

Benoit Saint-Denis: Recent Performances and Form

Benoit Saint-Denis was on a trajectory for a title shot before he lost to Dustin Poirer at UFC 299. Saint-Denis was a massive favorite in that fight, but he came up short. Before that fight, Saint-Denis had strung together five consecutive wins, all of which came by finish in the first or second round. Saint-Denis slipped down the rankings after his loss but can return to the top 10 with a win in Paris. 

His ability to land massive punches on the feet and mix in takedowns when needed makes him a difficult opponent to match up against. His power and speed is a lethal combination, and Saint-Denis is usually the fresher fighter when inside the cage. He leaves his chin exposed to straight shots from his opponent, and that could certainly come back to haunt him against an opponent like Moicano.

Renato Moicano: Recent Performances and Form

Renato Moicano is becoming one of the most likable fighters in the UFC. His energy on the microphone and exhilarating fights have transformed even casual viewers into UFC fans. Moicano has won five of his last six fights, including three straight wins heading into this one. He most recently knocked out Jalin Turner via elbows and punches at UFC 300, just two months after a convincing decision win over Drew Dober. This was the first knockout victory of his career. Moicano can walk outside the octagon and follow up with convincing displays of skill inside the cage. 

Moicano uses a variety of strikes and techniques to find success, but he is best suited to work on the mat. His 10 submission victories compared to just one knockout show that if he wants the finish, it’ll need to be on the ground. His ground and pound often doesn’t lead to a finish, but it opens up his opponent so he can slip in a rear-naked choke under the neck. On the feet, Moicano can stay safe while being selective when throwing punches of his own. 

The best UFC fight night prediction is for Renato Moicano to emerge victorious at +214 odds. Moicano is the more defensive fighter, and Saint-Denis will be a little overconfident in front of a cheering French crowd, leading to his demise.

FAQ

  1. Do you have a favorite type of casino game or sports event you enjoy writing about?

    My all-time favorite sports event is the UFC. There is something special about two people walking in and only one walking out. Fighting is the oldest sport in human history, and you never know what will happen when the cage door closes.

    Monitor your performance and accept poor days. If you are carelessly making predictions, there's no learning derived from the results. Staying ahead is challenging, and it’s impossible to succeed every single day.
