Two continents collide at the top in Oklahoma City, and the undercard is stacked with picks worth arguing over — here is where the fans line up.
Saturday, July 18, the octagon lands at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, and the marquee reads like a continental derby: South Africa’s Dricus Du Plessis against Nigeria’s Kamaru Usman at middleweight. From the headliner down to a stack of featherweight scraps, this is a card built for taking sides. Grab your bracket and let’s argue.
This is the one that splits the room. Dricus Du Plessis (23-3) brings the heavier resume by volume — 23 wins to his name — and he’s fighting at a natural middleweight home. Kamaru Usman (21-4) answers with 21 wins and a record that reads like a man who rarely gives a round away. The lean here is close: Du Plessis carries the edge in total finishes-worth-of-experience, while Usman’s 21-4 mark screams durability. Pick the man you trust to still be pushing forward in the championship rounds. Who’s your side?
Also at middleweight, Jared Cannonier (18-9) is the grizzled name, a fighter with 18 wins and the scars of nine losses that only come from testing yourself at the top. Across from him, England’s Christian Leroy Duncan (14-2) carries a far tidier ledger — 14 wins, only two blemishes. The math favors Duncan’s cleaner record, but Cannonier’s mileage is the classic wildcard: experience against momentum. This is the intrigue fight of the night.
The featherweight division hands us the purest “believe the hype” tests. Tommy McMillen (10-0) is spotless — ten fights, ten wins — but he draws a live one in Venezuela’s Alberto Montes (12-1), who actually owns more total wins at 12-1. Unbeaten record versus the guy with a longer trail: that’s a coin you’ll want to call.
Then there’s Austin Bashi (14-1), riding a glittering 14-1 mark into a bout with Mexico’s Jose Miguel Delgado (11-2). Bashi is the statistical favorite on paper, but Delgado’s 11-2 says he’s no stepping stone. Featherweight is where the sharpest brackets get made or broken.
Brazil’s Tabatha Ricci (12-4) brings 12 wins and the busier career; USA’s Fatima Kline (9-1) counters with a shiny 9-1. More experience against fewer scratches — a genuine pick’em that could swing the leaderboard for anyone bold enough to call it early.
Every fight on this one gives you a reason to plant a flag — the veteran or the up-and-comer, the perfect record or the proven grinder. Head into the app, lock your picks from Du Plessis vs. Usman on down, and see who among your friends actually reads a card right. Pick your side.
