UFC Vegas 90 Odds, Pick & Prediction for Brendan Allen vs Chris Curtis Upset No 2 for ‘Action Man’ (Saturday, April 6)
Here's our Brendan Allen vs. Chris Curtis pick for the UFC Vegas 90 main event on Saturday, April 6 – with our expert prediction.
On Saturday on ESPN+, the UFC returns to the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas for a rematch in the middleweight division between No. 6-ranked contender Brendan Allen and No. 14 Chris Curtis.
The pair fought at the Apex in December 2021 with Curtis cashing as high as +290 on the moneyline. "The Action Man" won the first round unanimously on all three scorecards, wobbled Allen in the second round with a body-head combination, and ultimately finished his opponent against the cage.
Curtis is 3-2 (with one no-contest) since that first fight, including a knockout win over rising contender Joaquin Buckley. Allen is on a 6-0 run since that loss, finishing five of his opponents.
Neither fighter has seen the championship rounds in the UFC, but both men have five-round experience from their regional days.
Below, I'll provide my analysis and projections for the UFC Vegas 90 main event and utilize those factors to bet on these middleweights, who should make their cage walks at approximately 8:25 p.m. ET (5:25 p.m. PT) on Saturday on ESPN+.
