UFC Edmonton Predictions, Picks, Projections, Best Bets, Trades for Saturday, October 17

The UFC Edmonton card on Saturday at Rogers Place will feature a notable debut clash between Louis Jourdain and Timothy Cuamba in the bantamweight division. Jourdain, the younger brother of UFC veteran Charles Jourdain, makes his promotional debut after securing a third-round submission victory on the 2025 Contender Series.

Known for his striking prowess and jiu-jitsu skills, Jourdain has experience in kickboxing and professional boxing, favoring high-volume footwork and submission attempts from his back. His opponent, Cuamba, enters with a 2-3 record, including two close decision losses at higher weight classes, but a 2-1 mark at bantamweight in the UFC.

Cuamba’s strength lies in his wrestling, having secured takedowns in all but one of his UFC fights, while Jourdain counters with grappling rather than defending takedowns. The fight is projected as an underdog bet for Cuamba at +155 odds, with additional prop bets available on takedowns and fight outcomes.
