The UFC transitions from UFC 271 to a loaded fight card between sluggers in Jamahal Hill and Johnny Walker. These two are fighting on a short notice main event after the original main event between Rafael Fiziev and Rafael Dos Anjos was rescheduled, but they will be going the full five rounds.

How will that factor into this event? We'll break that down below as well as sharing the odds for the 12 fight card. The preliminary card gets started at 4 PM EST on ESPN+ and then is followed on the streaming service at 7 PM EST as well.

All odds listed below are via WynnBET Sportsbook.

Main Event: Jamahal Hill (-255) vs. Johnny Walker (+200)

Let's start with the context of this fight, as both guys have about a week to prepare for a five round scrap after they were pushed up to the main event. I'm not sure we'll hit the championship rounds, but if it does it could get ugly considering neither fighter is typically going the distance.

The two light heavyweights have combined for 34 fights and just 7 of them have gone to the judge's scorecards. While both men may be exhausted after three rounds, I'm expecting we see a quick finish given the total is set at 1.5 (Over -125/Under +100).

Both guys are sluggers and there's a lot of variance around the fight as we have seen Walker pull out some crazy finishes, but I do lean towards Hall getting the job done in a main event spot as he propels up what is a shallow Light Heavyweight division. Hall was finished after grappling with Paul Craig but has disposed of veterans Jimmy Crute and Ovicne St. Perux by KO in the past year. I think Hall is in line to get another finish on Saturday night in quick order.

LEAN: Jamahal Hill -255
