Matheus Camilo vs. Jai Herbert prediction, pick, time for UFC Vegas 122
The co-feature at lightweight between Matheus Camilo and Jai Herbert should be a fun action bout. How long will it last?
Matheus Camilo and Jai Herbert are set to face off in the co-feature bout at UFC Vegas 122 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom provides a breakdown of their matchup. Camilo, coming off his UFC debut, has won his last two fights, including a first-round finish in June. Herbert, on the other hand, has had mixed results in the UFC, with a first-round finish in April against Mandel Nallo. He has yet to win two fights in a row in the promotion.
The co-main event showcases a lightweight showdown between Camilo and Herbert. Despite a rough start in his UFC debut, Camilo has since bounced back with two consecutive wins. He recently earned his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt from the legendary Andre Pederneiras. Herbert, while serviceable across all phases, has expressed concerns about his durability as he ages. Based on these factors, the prediction is that Camilo will secure a victory via a club-and-sub in Round 2.
Oddsmakers and the public favor Camilo, listing him at -194, while Herbert is at +158 via FanDuel. The fight is scheduled to start at around 9:40 p.m. ET, with both fighters expected to enter the cage at that time. The bout will stream live on Paramount+ and air on CBS.
