"David Onama and Steve Garcia headline their first fight card inside the Octagon when the featherweights square off in the main event at UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday ( 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with prelims at 4 p.m.). Onama enters the fight riding a four-fight winning streak; his most recent victory was a unanimous decision over Giga Chikadze in April. Garcia is on an unbeaten streak dating back to October 2022. He has won six consecutive fights, including a unanimous decision over Calvin Kattar in his most recent appearance in July."
"Parker: Garcia to win (-135). In his last outing, Garcia showed that he can maintain his power and high pace for three rounds. As long as Onama can't take him down and hold him there for long stretches, expect Garcia to win the fight on the feet with his volume and power. Onama has taken a lot of damage in the UFC, and a clean shot from Garcia could put him to sleep if he's not careful."
