UFC on ESPN 28: Bryan Barberena vs. Jason Witt odds, picks and prediction
Witt #Witt
In a welterweight bout on Saturday’s main card, Bryan Barberena and Jason Witt meet at UFC on ESPN 28 at the UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Below, we analyze the UFC on ESPN 28 Barberena vs. Witt odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
The prelims start at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN+, with the main card starting at 9 p.m. ET.
Barberena stopped a two-fight KO/TKO skid with a unanimous decision win over Anthony Ivy Sept. 12, 2020. He had been sidelined for nearly 15 months in part due to undergoing spinal surgery in Sept. 2019. He’ll be making his 12th walk to the UFC octagon Saturday and is looking for consecutive victories for the first time since Jan. 30 and May 14, 2016.
Witt is eager to get back into the octagon after being knocked out in just 16 seconds against Matthew Semelsberger March 13. That setback came on the heels of a Round 2 submission victory over Cole Williams on Halloween 2020. Since arriving at the UFC level he is 1-2 with three stoppages, including his submission victory and two losses by KO/TKO.

Witt has seen all three of his fights at the UFC level end via stoppage.
For Barberena, he has had three fights end via KO/TKO across the last four, with his last fight going the distance.
As such, play NO (-190): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE, with UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-145) a little cheaper and worth a roll of the dice.
