Steve Garcia vs David Onama Preview & Picks

Steve Garcia is tipped to win this main event fight via knockout.

Garcia’s southpaw stance and constant pressure can prevent David Onama from finding his rhythm, allowing the American to piece up his opponent and knock him out.

  • Steve Garcia is on a 6-fight win streak

  • 6 of Steve Garcia’s victories in the UFC have come by KO

Steve Garcia Form

Steve Garcia is the number 12 ranked featherweight contender with a career record of 18-5 (14 KOs).

Garcia debuted in the UFC in February 2020, following a successful appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series, but his maiden outing ended in a decision defeat to Luis Pena.

The 33-year-old American rebounded to knock out Charlie Ontiveros in the second round, only to then suffer a knockout loss at the hands of Maheshate Hayisaer.

He has not lost since though, sparking a six-fight win streak with a 92-second knockout of Chase Hooper.

Garcia then stopped Shayilan Nuerdanbieke and Melquizael Costa in the second round, before taking out Choi Seung-Woo in just 96 seconds.

‘Mean Machine’ knocked out Kyle Nelson in the first round to cap off a successful 2024, before starting this year with a unanimous decision win over Calvin Kattar.

David Onama Form

David Onama is the number 13 ranked featherweight contender with a professional record of 14-2 (7 KOs, 4 Subs).

Onama made his UFC debut in October 2021, and just like his opponent on Saturday he to lost his first fight inside the Octagon, dropping a decision to Mason Jones.

He bounced back with a first-round knockout of Gabriel Benitez, and then submitted Garrett Armfield in the second round.

The 31-year-old Ugandan failed to make it three-in-a-row as he lost via majority decision to Nate Landwehr in the summer of 2022, but he has not lost since.

Onama got back on track with a second-round knockout of Gabriel Santos, and that has been followed by three consecutive unanimous decision victories.

‘Silent Assassin’ has beaten Jonathan Pearce, Roberto Romero and Giga Chikadze to take his win streak to four fights.

Verdict

We are predicting a fun tear-up between two strikers that results in a knockout finish.

Garcia’s southpaw stance and constant pressure will make life difficult for Onama, and result in a finish for ‘Mean Machine’.
