It's time for the SUPER FIGHT Predictions! This Saturday (2), the Ultimate lands for the first time in Des Moines, Iowa, in the United States, for a very special Fight Night for the Brazilian fans. The former flyweight champion (up to 56,7kg) Deiveson Figueiredo faces Cory Sandhagen in a duel that could define the next challenger for the bantamweight title (up to 61,2 kg).

In the co-main event, the undefeated BoNickal, after a streak of seven wins – six of which were by interruption –, faces the biggest challenge of his career. The American comes face to face with the former Glory double champion, Ridder's Reinier, in the middleweight category (up to 83,9 kg).

Brazil in the octagon!

On the preliminary card, Marina Rodriguez, who has won only one of her last five fights, is trying to shake off her bad form in an important duel in the strawweight category (up to 52,1 kg). The Brazilian faces the rising Canadian Gillian robertson, who is having a good time in the division.
