A lot of the of the UFC on ABC 5 odds are very interesting, too. There are a whole lot of close fights per the numbers. However, for the hardcore MMA fans, there are some familiar faces that a lot of fans struggle to pick against.

Neil Magny a Favorite Against Philip Rowe

For example, a fighter like Neil Magny has really only lost to top guys, especially when looking at his last three losses; Gilbert Burns, Shavkot Rakhmonov and Michael Chiesa. No shame in those losses. Otherwise, Magny is a very winning fighter and he's sitting at around -170 against Philip Rowe.

Rowe, three years younger than Magny, has a lot of momentum coming into this, the biggest fight of his career. After losing his UFC debut back in 2021, he's gone 3-0 with 3 TKO wins. The UFC odds may not favor him, but it's got to feel somewhat complimentary to only be a +145 underdog against a guy like Neil.

Amanda Ribas Favored Over Maycee Barber

The Emmett vs Topuria odds have a lot of almost coin toss odds, but Ribas jumps off the page a little bit as a -205 favorite. Looking to start her first win streak since 2020, Ribas will have to get passed Maycee Barber, a fighter that once had all of the momentum in the world.

Barber doesn't exactly have that aura about her anymore. Despite her winning four in a row and only being 25 years old, the UFC on ABC 5 betting odds have Barber sitting as a +175 underdog.

Of course, the odds really don't mean a whole lot. MMA is the hardest sport to have a confident take in, especially with cards like this where everything is matched so well.
