<p>This Saturday, April 18, the UFC takes place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The main event features an exciting welterweight clash as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/mike-malott-2239">Mike Malott</a> faces <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/gilbert-burns-248">Gilbert Burns</a>.</p>
<p>I’ll share my predictions for UFC Winnipeg, encompassing my top pick, an underdog, a prop, and a two-fighter parlay. All <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/betting/mma/">UFC odds</a> are sourced from the DraftKings Sportsbook and are accurate as of this article's publication date.</p>
<h2 class="article-heading is-bullet">Weight Class: Bantamweight</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/john-castaneda-2054"><strong>John Castaneda</strong></a><strong> (21-8) vs. </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/mark-vologdin-2729"><strong>Mark Vologdin</strong></a><strong> (12-4-1)</strong></p>
<p>The second fight of the evening is a bantamweight matchup featuring <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/john-castaneda-2054">John Castaneda</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/mark-vologdin-2729">Mark Vologdin</a>. I’m favoring Castaneda for the win.</p>
<p>Despite being on a two-fight losing streak, Castaneda has faced tough bantamweights, while Vologdin is making his debut in the UFC. Although Vologdin performed well on DWCS, he has faced setbacks. Castaneda's notable six-inch reach advantage should help him deliver effective strikes and utilize wrestling to control the match, likely leading to a decision win.</p>
<p><span class="text-120"><strong>UFC Winnipeg Bet: </strong></span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/john-castaneda-2054"><span class="text-120"><strong>John Castaneda</strong></span></a><span class="text-120"><strong> (-125)</strong></span></p>
<h2 class="article-heading is-bullet">Weight Class: Middleweight</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/julien-leblanc-2757"><strong>Julien Leblanc</strong></a><strong> (10-2) vs. </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/robert-valentin-2581"><strong>Robert Valentin</strong></a><strong> (10-6)</strong></p>
<p>I’m selecting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/julien-leblanc-2757">Julien Leblanc</a> as my underdog pick in his UFC debut against <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/robert-valentin-2581">Robert Valentin</a>.</p>
<p>Leblanc comes off five consecutive wins in the regional circuit, including a victory over UFC veteran <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/darian-weeks-2272">Darian Weeks</a>. Meanwhile, Valentin has struggled in the UFC with an 0-3 record, and his performances haven't impressed me.</p>
<p>Valentin is vulnerable to strikes due to issues with his striking defense. Leblanc not only has power but is also a superior grappler, likely finishing Valentin with ground-and-pound.</p>
<p><span class="text-120"><strong>UFC Winnipeg Bet: </strong></span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/julien-leblanc-2757"><span class="text-120"><strong>Julien Leblanc</strong></span></a><span class="text-120"><strong> (+120)</strong></span></p>
<h2 class="article-heading is-bullet">Weight Class: Bantamweight</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/kyler-phillips-1850"><strong>Kyler Phillips</strong></a><strong> (12-4) vs. </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/charles-jourdain-1874"><strong>Charles Jourdain</strong></a><strong> (17-8-1)</strong></p>
<p>For my prop bet, I'm taking <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/kyler-phillips-1850">Kyler Phillips</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/charles-jourdain-1874">Charles Jourdain</a> to go over 2.5 rounds.</p>
<p>Jourdain is looking to excel in his third consecutive fight at bantamweight. He’s recently earned two submission victories, but against Phillips, finishing may prove challenging.</p>
<p>Phillips is known for his durability, having lost all three of his UFC fights by decision, and has faced formidable finishers. With both fighters being skilled strikers, I anticipate a tactical matchup that extends over 2.5 rounds.</p>
<p><span class="text-120"><strong>UFC Winnipeg Bet: </strong></span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/kyler-phillips-1850"><span class="text-120"><strong>Kyler Phillips</strong></span></a><span class="text-120"><strong> & </strong></span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/charles-jourdain-1874"><span class="text-120"><strong>Charles Jourdain</strong></span></a><span class="text-120"><strong> over 2.5 rounds (-188)</strong></span></p>
<h2 class="article-heading is-bullet">Weight Class: Lightweight & Women's Flyweight</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/mandel-nallo-1741"><strong>Mandel Nallo</strong></a><strong> (14-3) vs. </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/jai-herbert-1998"><strong>Jai Herbert</strong></a><strong> (13-6-1)</strong><br/><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/jasmine-jasudavicius-2225"><strong>Jasmine Jasudavicius</strong></a><strong> (14-4) vs. </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/karine-silva-2257"><strong>Karine Silva</strong></a><strong> (19-6)</strong></p>
<p>For my parlay, I’m betting on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/mandel-nallo-1741">Mandel Nallo</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/jasmine-jasudavicius-2225">Jasmine Jasudavicius</a> to win their respective fights.</p>
<p>Nallo, making his UFC debut, faces <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/jai-herbert-1998">Jai Herbert</a>, a matchup that should favor the Canadian. Nallo’s recent regional performances are strong, including five straight wins by finish. I see Nallo taking charge with his striking against Herbert, who may struggle due to lower output.</p>
<p>Additionally, I’m confident that Jasudavicius will overcome Silva in a crucial women’s flyweight match. Following a setback against <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rotowire.com/mma/player/manon-fiorot-2148">Manon Fiorot</a>, Jasudavicius faces a lesser opponent in Silva. Her reach advantage should help her land the more significant strikes and control the grappling exchanges, particularly since Silva has a low takedown defense rate.</p>
