According to <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">BetMGM<\/a>, the main event is notably close with Machado Garry sitting as a slight <strong>-135<\/strong> favorite over Prates at <strong>+110<\/strong>, reflecting the competitive nature of this matchup. The biggest favorite on the card is Ikram Aliskerov at a massive<strong> -650<\/strong> against Andre Muniz (<strong>+475)<\/strong>, suggesting oddsmakers see this as nearly a foregone conclusion.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/unnamed-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41721\"><\/a><\/figure><p>Some potentially valuable underdog plays include Anthony Smith at <strong>+400<\/strong> against the heavily favored Zhang Mingyang (<strong>-550<\/strong>). While Zhang has been impressive, Smith&rsquo;s experience and crafty submission game could make for an interesting retirement farewell if he can weather the early storm. Michel Pereira stands as a betting favourite at &ndash;<strong>160<\/strong> against Abus Magomedov (<strong>+135<\/strong>). Giga Chikadze is an underdog (<strong>+145<\/strong>) against David Onama (<strong>-175<\/strong>). The oddsmakers have Randy Brown as a favourite <strong>(-220<\/strong>) over the Nicolas Dalby (<strong>+180<\/strong>).<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Kansas City Main Card Predictions<\/h2><p>Ian Garry is the more technical fighter with a solid win over Michael &ldquo;Venom&rdquo; Page and a an exquisite performance against Shavkat Rakhmonov. Carlos Prates brings serious power and improving takedown defense. If we have to bet on the fight, it would be<strong> Ian Garry to win via unanimous decision.<\/strong><\/p><p>The co-main event <strong>could see Anthony Smith defy the odds<\/strong> in his retirement fight. Zhang Mingyang has looked impressive, but if Smith can survive the early onslaught and drag the fight into deep waters, his experience and submission skills might allow him to end his career on a high note. We predict that <strong>Giga Chikadze would outpoint David Onama<\/strong>, winning a unanimous decision. Michel Pereira, though he is an entertaining fighter, lacks the cardio to take on Abus Magomedov. However, his KO power can end the fight in an instant. We are still going with<strong> Magomedov to win via decision.<\/strong><\/p><p>Randy Brown&rsquo;s technical striking advantage should earn <strong>him a decision victory<\/strong> over the aging but still dangerous Nicolas Dalby. Perhaps the safest prediction on the card is I<strong>kram Aliskerov, who should overwhelm Andre Muniz<\/strong> with pressure and power for a finish in the early rounds.<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: DovySimuMMA &ndash; X)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get to know the full fight card, betting odds, predictions and picks for the upcoming UFC Kansas City fight night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":42042,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[2794,1783,4513],"tags":[5893,1967,5359,5873],"class_list":["post-42019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-betmgm","category-mma","category-ufc-predictions","tag-anthony-smith","tag-carlos-prates","tag-ian-garry","tag-ufc-kansas-city"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42019"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42019"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42040,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42019\/revisions\/42040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
