UFC Fight Night predictions: Whittaker vs. de Ridder pick, odds
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The UFC heads to the Middle East once again, this time to Abu Dhabi inside Etihad Arena for a massive fight card. Fresh off the back of an awesome pay-per-view card, fans can put their credit cards away and enjoy some free TV on ABC, beginning at 3 p.m. ET Saturday. Twelve fights are on the docket, with eight of them projected to end inside the distance, according to oddsmakers. Last week was our best betting week of the year thus far, nailing a +880 bet and a +425 wager and nearly sweeping the main card. The insane 5-1 showing on the main card last week profited 18.1 units and nabbed us an insane ROI of 301.67 percent. You don't get that every week, but that might be a career best for me. Robert Whittaker vs. Reinier de Ridder Whittaker might not get back into the title picture with a win, but they're certainly feeding him to a young lion as he faces former ONE Championship fighter Reinier de Ridder. De Ridder comes in as a +140 underdog Saturday night and is coming off a surprising win over a hyped middleweight prospect in Bo Nickal. In that fight, de Ridder was a +300 underdog and looked like a -1000 favorite. Do we think that this was a case of de Ridder taking advantage of an overhyped prospect? Or was Nickal a worthy opponent that de Ridder proved to be too much for? It's a tough question to answer, but given everything we know, de Ridder is a strong grappler who will have a towering size advantage in the octagon. This fight reminds me of when Whittaker fought Dricus du Plessis, a bigger, stronger athlete, where he sneakily could sneakily have an advantage in the grappling department. For this fight, we're targeting Over 2.5 rounds. Whittaker is a superstar, but not a worthy bet at this price, and would need to get closer to even for me to consider him. Pick: Over 2.5 rounds (-125, BetMGM). Petr Yan vs. Marcus McGhee Another legend heads into a tough matchup with an underdog as McGhee jumps into the octagon with Yan. Yan, a former bantamweight champion currently No. 3 in the world in the division, per Tapology, deserves some credit for accepting this fight against the No. 12 fighter in the division. This fight is a three rounds, not five, a detail that is critical for Yan. Petr Yan works out for fans and media during the UFC Fight Night Open Workouts at Yas Mall on July 23, 2025 in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Zuffa LLC You'll remember that Yan lost his fight to striker Sean O'Malley, which was a three-round bout. Yan's best asset is his cardio, so if he's able to tire his opponent (McGhee has never been five rounds), he will likely come out with a victory. McGhee getting this fight as a three-rounder is a big opportunity for him. The 35-year-old bantamweight is looking to get into the title picture and I like this matchup for him. He's an athletic striker with some ground game chops as well. Take a stab on the underdog in this fight, at least pre-fight. Feel free to look for a Yan live entry during round two if he looks sluggish early. He's a notoriously slow starter, so there's certainly an opportunity to get his price reduced early on in this five-round bout. Pick: McGhee moneyline (+300, Caesars). Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps Rest of the card Shara Magomedov vs. Marc-Andre Barriault: Over 1.5 rounds (-160, FanDuel). Asu Almabayev vs. Jose Ochoa: Amabayev Over 27.5 significant strikes (-121); Ochoa Over 46.5 significant strikes (-121, Underdog Fantasy). Nikita Krylov vs. Bogdan Guskov: Over 1.5 rounds (+125, Fanatics Sportsbook). Bryce Mitchell vs. Said Nurmagomedov: Mitchell by submission (+500, DraftKings). Muslim Salikhov vs. Carlos Leal: Pass. Davey Grant vs. Da'Mon Blackshear: Blackshear by submission (+210, ESPN BET). Amanda Ribas vs. Tabatha Ricci: Ribas by KO/TKO (22/1, Bet365).

What is the start time for the IndyCar race at Laguna Seca?
The IndyCar Series goes to wine country to compete at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca in the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey, a 95-lap race on an 11-turn, 2.238-mile layout. The series is finishing a busy stretch of five races over four weekends. Pato O'Ward has won two of the last three race but still trails points leader Alex Palou by 99 points. Push-to-pass: 150 seconds total in increments of up to 15 seconds. Tire allotment: Five sets primary and five sets alternate to be used during the event weekend. Rookie drivers may use one additional set of tires in the first session. Teams must use one set of primary and one new set of alternate tires unless wet conditions are declared. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. Alex Palou has won seven races, Kyle Kirkwood three, Pato O'Ward two Scott Dixon one. Palou is 99 points clear of second-place O'Ward with four races to go. Alex Palou won from pole position, with Colton Herta and Alexander Rossi completing the podium. Alex Palou swept the pole and race in 2024. Is it going to be one of those weekends? As much as I'd love for the championship fight to get tighter, Palou has exceled here. He didn't run away and hide a year ago, but he was clearly the best car from the jump. This year, Palou has won four of the five natural-terrain road-course races — and in the one he didn't (Mid-Ohio), his small silly mistake cost him the win. We haven't gotten a true Alex Palou beatdown of a weekend since the spring, and it feels like we're due. How will Team Penske fare this weekend? I certainly don't expect a win. I think there's an off-chance we get a podium from either Scott McLaughlin or Will Power. I still think we could get a Penske win before the season ends, but not here. Chip Ganassi Racing has won each of the last three trips to the track, and if I'm making predictions, there's no reason to expect that to change unless something odd happens. The Rookie of the Year race couldn't be tighter. Who has the edge between Louis Foster and Robert Shwartzman? Foster has had a better track record both in qualifying performance and consistency, so in a tie with four races to go, I'll give a slight edge to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing rookie, although I think this very much could be alive until the finale — at an oval, where Prema has gotten the bulk of their strong results this year.
