Top UFC Predictions for January 24th

One of the key matchups to watch in the prelims features two flyweights, former title challenger Alex Perez and the rising star Charles Johnson. This fight is particularly intriguing as it highlights contrasting trajectories for both fighters.

Matchup Overview

  • Alex Perez: Once a title contender, Perez has struggled recently. He has won only one of his last six fights, with notable concerns about his current form.
  • Charles Johnson: Johnson is on the rise, winning five of his last six bouts, including a knockout victory in his most recent outing.

Perez’s decline began after losing to former champion Deiveson Figueiredo in 2020. Compounding his difficulties, he missed weight ahead of this event, which raises concerns regarding his performance. In contrast, Johnson is a well-rounded fighter with significant striking capabilities and grappling skills. He will also benefit from a five-inch reach advantage during their bout.

Betting Insights

For those looking to place bets, Charles Johnson is a solid choice. The recommended best bet for the night is:

  • Charles Johnson Moneyline: -165

Considering Perez’s recent struggles, including being finished in two consecutive fights, a bet on Johnson to win inside the distance could yield favorable returns. This fight is a promising opportunity for fans and bettors alike.
