Jamey‑Lyn Horth vs Vanessa Demopoulos Preview
Horth enters this bout after a mixed run in the UFC so far. She recently dropped a unanimous decision to Miranda Maverick in December but earned a split‑decision win over Ivana Petrovic in November just before the Maverick fight. Her strengths lie in reach, kickboxing, and takedown defense. She also lands over half of her significant strikes, showcasing a technical striking ability that will be a huge factor in this fight.
Demopoulos is struggling coming into this fight against Horth. She has lost two fights in a row, being submitted by Jacqueline Amorim in September before dropping a decision to Talita Alencar in April. Her shorter reach will force her inside, where she can dig for takedowns and submission attempts. But Demopoulos has not finished a fight since 2022 and her path to victory will likely be to grind out a decision by controlling things on the ground.

- Line movement shows strong market for Horth.
Jamey‑Lyn Horth vs Vanessa Demopoulos Prediction
Given the styles that make up this fight, Horth should use her jab, leg kicks, and range to keep Demopoulos uncomfortable. Her striking accuracy and defense should help her maintain control on the feet. Demopoulos will push forward seeking takedowns, but with shaky takedown accuracy and Horth’s solid defense, exchanges are more likely to stay standing.
Horth’s wins tend to come via decisions, and she’s gone the distance in all of her UFC fights. Demopoulos, while dangerous on the ground, hasn’t scored a UFC finish lately either. Expect a technical matchup that goes the full three rounds, with Horth winning key striking stats. Therefore, expect a decision win for Horth with odds ing it.
Final Thoughts
Market odds heavily favor Horth to control the fight from the outside and walk away with the win by decision. Consider a prop on the bout going to Horth by decision, as finish rates for both fighters have been limited. There aren’t many attractive betting angles here, though, given the heavy juice bettors have to lay to take Horth in just about any realistic winning angle.
