Ryan Gandra (9-1-0) and Zachary Reese (10-3-0) will clash in the UFC Middleweight class on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Despite being a new name in the franchise, Gandra will come into this contest as the -136 favorite as he looks to maintain his impressive start. He joined the franchise in August 2025 at the DWCS, defeating Trent Miller via a KO punch in Round 1. Then, in February this year, the “Problema” got another Round 1 KO win against Jose Daniel Medina, highlighting his dangerous finishing potential in the division.
Zach Reese, meanwhile, is the +110 betting underdog this season. The American fighter will be itching to spoil Gandra's welcome party and add the missing consistency to his game. He’s coming off a controversial split decision defeat against Michael Pereira in an entertaining fight that had numerous fouls. The “Savage” will be keen to reestablish himself in the division with a convincing win this weekend.

Our Ryan Gandra vs Zachary Reese Prediction
This fight could end early, according to the available statistics. Both fighters are excellent finishers who could capitalize on early openings to send their opponents to an early shower. Ryan Gandra is a quick finisher who likes to end his fights in Round 1. In fact, seven of his last nine bouts ended in the first round. He boasts clean shot selection and could punish Reese if he manages the distance properly. The only hope for Reese here is to slow down Gandra with takedowns, which he’s not necessarily good at. We expect very little wrestling in this matchup, with Gandra winning via KO/TKO in Round 1 or 2.
Our prediction for Ryan Gandra vs Zach Reese: Ryan Gandra to win via KO/TKO
