For the main event, I'm considering betting on De Ridder. I hardly knew anything about him prior to his fight with Bo Nickal, that's probably because he joined the UFC only in 2024, but his record looks really good.
He only lost twice, both times to the same guy called Anatoly Malykhin, who was ONE's triple champion. First time it was in a heavyweight category (225lb), second time in the middleweight (205lb, which would be a light heavyweight in the UFC).
De Ridders' finish ratio is 90%, most (65%) by submissions.
I'm not saying Whittaker has no chance, but I don't see him as a favourite here.
For the main event we might game same scenario that was in Whittaker vs Aliskerov. It was an early notice for Aliskerov, but he also had good record, was on a series of wins (most of them finishes), looked like a promising prospect, has Dagestani DNA

However Whittaker beat him mostly due to experience. Caught punch, dazed and finished in first round. I think odds are fair.
Btw,
Johnson, Michael x4.7 Vs Zellhuber, Daniel x1.16
I've seen some bookies give +5 on Johnson, and he wont that fight

Lol, I am sure tokeweed missed that gem

Sorry buddy for making fun, but I know how you love to risk
