Riding a two-fight win streak, Oleksiejczuk is going to be the heavy betting favorite with -500 UFC odds, while Barriault, who’s fresh off a loss in his previous match, will be the considerable underdog with +360 odds.

UFC Vegas 113: Michal Oleksiejczuk vs. Marc-Andre Barriault: Prediction
I predict a TKO/KO finish for Oleksiejczuk over Barriault because he’s the much faster and more explosive fighter. Despite the threat of Barriault’s wrestling, Oleksijczuk can confidently defend them and keep the fight on the feet.
Once on their feet, Oleksiejczuk can snipe Barriault with his quick punches and land a devastating left hook, which victimized many previous opponents. The Polish MMA star’s elusiveness will also be key in avoiding the counterpunches from his Canadian foe.
