Prediction: Ricky Simon VS Charles Jourdain 2025-06-14

The main event we're all waiting for is actually Ilia Topuria vs Charles Oliveira, but since we've got some odds for Ricky Simon vs Charles Jourdain, let's dive into that instead.

Ricky Simon is the favorite to win, with odds ranging from 1.51 (FanDuel) to 1.62 (BetOnline.ag and BetUS). Charles Jourdain is the underdog, with odds ranging from 2.34 (BetUS) to 2.55 (BetMGM).

Given the odds, my best bet for this fight would be to take Ricky Simon to win. He's the favorite for a reason, and his odds are consistent across all bookmakers. However, if you're looking for a bit of a long shot, taking Charles Jourdain to win by decision or submission could be an interesting bet, considering his underdog status.

As for the totals, the over/under is set at 2.5 rounds, with the over priced at 1.43 (BetOnline.ag and BetUS) and the under priced at 2.74 (BetOnline.ag) or 2.9 (BetUS). I'd take the under in this case, as both fighters have shown the ability to finish fights quickly in the past.

But let's be real, folks, the real question on everyone's mind is: can Ilia Topuria actually make Charles Oliveira's chin "explode" as he's promised? We'll just have to wait and see on June 28th.
