Who has the edge in this week's UFC Fight Night? UFC featherweight Dan Ige and betting insiders break down the fights.

Yusuff enters the fight on a two-fight win streak and currently ranked No.11 in the UFC's featherweight rankings. His last win was a first-round submission overto get his perspective on the UFC main event. ESPN's betting experts Reed Kuhn and Ian Parker add their insights and analysis on the main event and other intriguing bets they like on the card.Yusuff has great kickboxing. A difference for him is his power. And his physicality.

There's some plus money to be found in Araujo. Maia is a boxer and would certainly prefer to remain standing. But Araujo has decent striking of her own, behind a four-inch reach advantage. She can probably hold her own long enough to set up some takedowns and exploit Maia's weak takedown defense. Once on the ground, the advantages all point to Araujo. She needs to be aware of round-to-round scoring to set herself up for success.Maia is well-rounded and makes few mistakes.

The line on Gutierrez keeps rising, and for good reason. As long as this fight is standing, he has advantages in almost every striking area. Gutierrez has excellent accuracy and defense, meaning he is technically sound and offers much more power. The wild card is whether Alatengheili can get this to the ground, where Gutierrez is most vulnerable. But Alatengheili's takedown offense is average, while Gutierrez has solid takedown defense. And Alatengheili has only spent 8% of fight time wrestling, so that seems like a long shot. Gutierrez makes a reasonable parlay anchor.
