Magny vs Prates Prediction
The main event of UFC Fight Night 247 features seasoned veteran Neil Magny (29-12, 22-11 UFC) facing off against Carlos “The Nightmare” Prates (20-6, 3-0 UFC). Prates enters the octagon with huge expectations as a -800 favorite.
He’s an aggressive striker who’s finished all three of his UFC opponents thus far. Incredibly, the Brazilian is on a 10-fight winning streak, with eight straight knockout victories. His powerful striking game overwhelms and devastates unprepared opponents.
Across the cage, Neil Magny’s resilience will be put to the test early and often at UFC Fight Night 247. The grizzled MMA veteran’s 80″ reach and famed endurance will be key to his success on Saturday night. Magny will need to weather Prates’ early onslaught and aim to wear him down over time in order to pull off an upset.

Prates will look to set the pace of the fight and launch explosive strikes from the opening bell. His recent performances have demonstrated improved cardio and the ability to pace himself against tougher competition.
Magny’s recent losses against other high-pressure fighters like Michael Morales and Gilbert Burns show that he is susceptible to an early beatdown. Look for Prates’ heavy hands to end this fight quickly.
- Magny vs Prates Pick: Under 1.5 rounds (-110)
de Ridder vs Meerschaert Prediction
In the co-main event, former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight champion Reinier de Ridder makes his highly anticipated UFC debut against veteran fighter Gerald Meerschaert. de Ridder boasts 12 submission victories over the course of his career, which is no surprise since he’s been training judo since the age of five and has added brazilian jiu-jitsu to his fighting repertoire.
Meerschaert himself is no stranger to grappling heavy contests. He owns 29 submission victories, and has the second-most submission victories in UFC middleweight history with 12.

That being said, de Ridder will be the far larger fighter at UFC Fight Night 247, standing over 6’4. His strength and grappling IQ set him apart from most middleweights. “The Dutch Knight” often overwhelms opponents and will aim to impose his grappling dominance early.
Meerschaert will be forced to relentlessly defend takedowns and will need to capitalize on striking opportunities to pull off the upset. Expect to see de Ridder attack Meerchaert from the jump. Bet on the Dutchman to force his opponent to tap before the final bell.
- de Ridder vs Meerschaert Pick: Reinier de Ridder to win, under 2.5 total rounds parlay (+135)
