Close to the fight for the belt, Jéssica Eye gained fame in Brazil years ago for saying that 'she was horny'

Unlike what happens in the men's decision, the difference in quotas between the fighters is huge, although this disparity is not seen in the athletes' retrospect. With a history of 16 wins – 4 knockouts, 7 submissions and 5 judges' decisions – and 3 defeats, Valentina is quoted at R$ 1,77 for every R$ 1,00 invested by you, according to the OddsShark. It comes from 2 triumphs won in a row, the most recent being over Joanna Jedrzejczyk in December last year.

On the other side of the octagon, Jéssica, number 1 in the category ranking, with R$ 8,00 for 1 return, so far, has 14 positive results – 3 by knockout, 1 by submission and 10 by judges' decisions – and 6 negative . Also at the end of 2018, in December, Uncle Sam's representative fought and went through Katlyn chookagian. With this victory, she had 3 fights in a row without being defeated. Unlike the opponent, Jessica Eye will, for the first time, fight for a belt. This lack of experience in decisive clashes could be an important detail against a champion opponent. The 10 victories decided by the judges also contribute to increasing her rating as an underdog.

Still among women, but at strawweight, the expectation is for a well-fought fight between the Polish Karolina Kowalkiewicz and the Mexican Alexa grasso if we look at the bet values. The difference is just R$0,23. The European is in 10th place in the category classification and is looking for rehabilitation, as she comes from 2 consecutive setbacks against Michelle Waterson e Jessica Stacker. His most recent triumph was on April 7 last year, when he beat Felice Herig.

The Latina athlete, in turn, with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses, pays R$ 2,00, again according to the OddsShark. She also lost in her most recent performance, in May 2018, to Tatiane Suarez.

To close the text, we cannot fail to talk about the clash between the American Donald Cerrone and compatriot Tony Ferfuson. The fight is worth flyweight. At R$2,10, Cerrone, 4th in the rankings, has 36 wins and 11 losses on his MMA resume. Recently, on May 4th, he surpassed To the fifth. The rival is better positioned in the Ultimate classification, being in 2nd place. Therefore, he has a lower odds, as favorite, paying R$1,71. Ferguson presents us with an enviable record: 24 positive results and only 3 negative ones. He hasn't known what it's like to lose since 2012. Since then, he's had 11 fights, being the best inside the Octagon.
