Josh Culibao defeats Ricardo Ramos (-148)

This matchup could be a surprise contender for Fight of the Night, especially if things play out mostly stand-up. Ramos probably won't have to worry about losing to Culibao by submission for the third time in a row, but “Kuya” is capable of outdoing the flashy Brazilian in what should be an entertaining fight.

Kenan Song defeats Ricky Glenn (-185)

Aside from Glenn being knocked out in back-to-back fights, I have concerns about him moving up to welterweight. The longtime UFC veteran will be on par with Song in size and reach, but as a former featherweight and lightweight on a losing streak, it's hard to get Glenn back on track in his welterweight debut.

Casey O'Neill defeats Luana Santos (+120)

Originally scheduled to face Tereza Bledá, O'Neill will now look to end her two-fight losing streak and defend her No. 15 ranking when she faces Santos. “King” has generated quite a bit of hype around herself after starting the UFC 4-0 with three wins, and while Santos is a tough challenge, I'm tipping O'Neill to get back on the winning list despite being the underdog.

Israel Adesanya defeats Dricus Du Plessis (-118)

There are a lot of question marks surrounding Adesanya following his loss to Sean Strickland and subsequent layoff, but it's hard to pass up such tight odds on the former two-time champion. Du Plessis has been consistently underestimated throughout his UFC career and could prove his doubters wrong again this weekend, but at current odds I'm tipping “The Last Stylebender” to win the middleweight title for a third time.

UFC 305: Dricus Du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya – Full preliminary fight predictions

Dricus Du Plesiss vs. Israel Adesanya stays under 4.5 rounds (-135)

The animosity between these two men has helped build fan anticipation for the main event of UFC 305, and hopefully that will translate into an entertaining title fight. Both men have gone the full distance in their last outings against Strickland, but with Adesanya's counters and Du Plessis's high-pressure style, there's a good chance this fight could be over in short order.

Steve Erceg Over 0.5 total takedowns landed (-175)

Kai Kara-France's defense against takedowns has largely held up throughout his UFC career, but Erceg's willingness to face him and fight with him should give him the opportunity to throw in a takedown at the right time. I don't expect “AstroBoy” to make that his main plan, but during a fight that could well go three rounds, he should be able to get Kara-France to the mat at least once, even if he can't keep him there for long.

Li Jingliang vs. Carlos Prates goes over 2.5 rounds (+124)

Prates has won eight straight fights by knockout, but Jingliang represents a pretty big step up for the Brazilian at UFC 305. There are certainly concerns about “The Leech,” who is preparing to return to action for the first time in nearly two years, but in 27 professional fights, Jingliang has never been knocked out and has only been forced to submit twice.
