records: Moicano (19-5-1) | Saint Denis (13-2-0)

Moicano comes to Paris seeking a four-fight win streak, which would be the best of his career since reaching the UFC level. He scored a KO/TKO in the 2nd round against Jalin Turner He last competed at UFC 300 in April 2024. He had previously won a unanimous decision Drew Dober in February 2024, and he filed Brad Riddell in Round 1 at UFC 281 in 2022, showcasing his versatility.

The Brazilian fighter doesn't often draw the judges' attention as he has only taken two decisions in his last 11 fights, finishing 1-1.

Saint Denis looks to bounce back from a 2nd round KO/TKO loss Dustin Poirier at UFC 299, the last time in early March 2024. He has had 6 consecutive finishes, going 3-1 via KO/TKO during that time, while he has recorded 2 submission victories since a unanimous decision loss against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos at UFC 267 in his company debut on October 30, 2021.

Saint Denis is 7 years younger and fights in his native France, so the southpaw has the goods for him. He also has a 1-inch reach advantage, leading 5.70 to 4.38 per minute. Saint Denis has a significant hit accuracy of 62.71%

UFC Fight Night 243: Moicano vs. Saint Denis tips and predictions

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

The favorite Saint Denis (-300) costs three times the potential return, and that's just a bit too expensive on the 2-way line.

While Moicano (+240) is a bit long in the tooth, at least in terms of UFC age, he's still a smart veteran and quite dangerous.

Instead, let’s get a little more specific. Take SAINT DENIS BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (-210) on the 5-way line is still a bit too expensive, but this is the best choice, especially as part of a multi-leg parlay in conjunction with other fights.

Over/Under (O/U)

There is no reason to think about it. No (-800): Will the fight go the distance? because it will set you back eight times your potential return.

However, OVER 2.5 ROUNDS (+140) with plus money is a good game. Saint Denis is expected to take the win, but Moicano will make him work for it in his native Paris. Don't expect the veteran to go quietly into the night.
