Donte Johnson (8-0-0) versus Eric McConico (11-4-1) is a UFC Middleweight bout on Saturday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Johnson has been in impressive form since joining the UFC in August 2025 via the DWCS. He defeated Sendrigues Dumas in November last year via a Round 2 submission before getting a split-decision victory over Cody Brundage in March this year. The "Lock Jaw" will want to get a more decisive win this weekend as the -286 favorite.
Eric McConico, meanwhile, is the +214 betting underdog, which we find exciting. The 36-year-old will want to prove that he has something to offer in the division after a slow start to his UFC career. McConico is 2-2 in the UFC, with two of his defeats being KO losses. In his latest assignment, he battled hard to get a unanimous decision win over Rodolfo Vieira in April 2025. Like his rival this weekend, he'll want to win with style, setting up an exciting clash.

Our Donte Johnson vs Eric McConico Prediction
Johnson is an exciting firebrand fighter who strikes and wrestles with amazing power. He'll want to protect his 100% MMA record and possibly extend his 6-0 KO/TKO streak. Another reason why we're backing Johnson to win is his background in the heavyweight division. However, we think McConico will be fully prepared to drag him to an ugly fight after trouncing over younger and superior athletes in his career. McConico also has a 3-inch reach advantage, which could be vital against Johnson's advancing power. We think it will be a close fight, contrary to what the moneyline odds suggest.
Our prediction for Donto Johnson vs Eric McConico: Over 1.5 rounds.
