In the main event, Terence Crawford is heading up another division in weight in his quest for a fourth division title when he faces WBA super welterweight champion Israil Madrimov.
Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KO) will put his pound-for-pound ranking on the line later tonight (Sat., Aug. 3, 2024) LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif., when the undefeated three-division world champion meets Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KO) for the WBA super welterweight title.

UFC 304 Undercard Betting Preview
Dana White’s MMA promotion is set to return to Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
A bantamweight clash with title implications between Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov will headline the epic night of fights at the Etihad Arena
There’s also a stacked undercard featuring a bunch of big-name fighters including Sharabutdin Magomedovich, Marlon Vera, Deiveson Figueiredo, and Mackenzie Dern.
Join LowKickMMA as we break down the six-fight main card and the UFC odds before offering you an official prediction on how they will all play out.
Cory Sandhagen vs Umar Nurmagomedov
Sandhagen is shockingly a +275 underdog in the UFC Abu Dhabi headliner.
‘The Sandman’ has been mixing it with the very best 135lb fighters for years and is currently on a three-fight winning streak against people ranked in the top 10.
On the other hand, Nurmagomedov has never beaten a ranked fighter during his 17-0 career. Still, he’s a massive +350 favorite to get the job done in his first main event.
We just can’t pass up those odds on Sandhagen. Perhaps Nurmagomedov will be just as good as his cousin Khabib one day, but it seems like the bookmakers are getting carried away with a hype train right now.
Sharabutdin Magomedovich vs Michał Oleksiejczuk
Once again, we think the odds are slightly off for this fight.
Magomedovich is the +250 favorite, and we are backing him to win even though we haven’t been overly impressed with his 2-0 run in MMA’s premier promotion.
The one-eyed Russian looks terrifying but hasn’t quite lived up to his billing.
Oleksiejczuk will give him a good test over three rounds. The +200 underdog might even pull off an upset, but we expect him to fall just short against ‘Shara Bullet’.
Marlon Vera vs Deiveson Figueiredo
This is bout so good it should probably be headlining an event of its own.
Figueiredo is a slight -138 favorite in what should be an acid test of his credentials as a true bantamweight contender.
The former two-time flyweight champion has looked good since moving up 10lbs, but Vera is undoubtedly a sterner test than Cody Garbrandt or Rob Font.
‘Chito’ is very capable of causing an upset as the +110 underdog.
Unfortunately for him, we think Figueiredo will be a bit too slick over the three-round distance. Our pick would probably go the opposite way if they fought for 25 minutes.
Tony Ferguson vs Michael Chiesa
Ferguson being a +400 underdog in this fight is a sad testament to just how far he has fallen off in recent years.
The ex-interim UFC lightweight champion is facing someone on a poor three-fight skid and there’s still no doubt that he’ll lose against Chiesa at UFC Abu Dhabi.
Ferguson has looked a shell of his former self during his current seven-fight loss and has arguably looked worse as the UFC has attempted to reduce the level of his competition.
At odds of -550, betting on Chiesa won’t return you much money, but it is pretty close to being a cert, so you might as well add it to your parlay like us.
Mackenzie Dern vs Loopy Godinez
This a really tough fight to call between two top strawweight’s.
The bookmakers seem to agree with our assessment as Dern is the slight -125 favorite, while you can get odds of +100 on Godinez pulling off a minor upset.
Dern’s issues come when fights remain on the feet. Luckily for her, Godinez has just one KO win on her record and doesn’t seem to present a big KO threat.
We think she can out-grapple Godinez over three rounds here. A submission win would be a serious statement as her opponent has never been finished during her 16-fight career.
Joel Alvarez vs Elves Banner
Alvarez always seems to be on the brink of doing something big at 155lbs.
The Spaniard has struggled with the weight, but when he’s in the Octagon it’s a joy to watch. Alvarez has a ruthless streak and is a justified -163 favorite here.
Brenner is a decent fighter, but his last loss showed he’s limited, despite that he’s only a -138 underdog against Alvarez, who has beaten better people during his UFC run.
Alvarez will be going on our bet as one of our more confident picks.

Terence Crawford returns in a new weight class tonight to take on WBA Super Welterweight Champion Israil Madrimov. MMA News has the results and highlights here!
The event will occur at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. In addition to Madrimov defending his title, the vacant WBO interim world super welterweight championship will also be up for grabs.
Crawford makes his comeback to the boxing ring after a year of inactivity. His last bout was a spectacular TKO win over Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023, which helped catapult him to superstardom.
DraftKings has Crawford as a considerable favorite to win tonight, but Madrimov has the ability to pull off the upset. The WBA super welterweight champion is undefeated with 10 wins and has finished seven of his opponents. He’ll also be more accustomed to the weight class than the American pugilist, which could play a role in their bout. However, Crawford is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world and has shown he can rise to the challenge.
Elsewhere on the card, WBA World Super Lightweight Champion Isaac Cruz will defend his title against Jose Valenzuela. “Pitbull” aims to win decisively and finally get a rematch against Gervonta Davis. Valenzuela will have the height and reach advantage but must deal with Cruz’s relentless pressure.
Crawford vs. Madrimov main card will start at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT on pay-per-view for $ 79.99. ESPN+ and DAZN will stream the event live, but fans must be subscribed and pay for the PPV. The preliminary card will kick the event off at 4:30 PM ET/1:30 PM PT for free on the DAZN YouTube Channel.
