Sertanejo is the underdog in UFC Singapore(Photo: Reproduction/Facebook FelipeSertanejo)
The Ultimate Fighting Championship will promote, this Saturday (23), in Singapore, its 132nd edition of Fight Night. There will be 12 fights during the night in Asian lands and only two Brazilians in action: Felipe Sertanejo, who faces Yadong Song and needs to recover because she lost her last two fights, and Viviane Sucuri, who is also coming off a defeat, but is favorite in the oddsshark in front of the Chinese XiaonanYan. The main fight of the event is the responsibility of the very talented Donald Cerrone facing the thick-skinned and undefeated for five fights, Leon edwards. We have separated two articles for you to know everything that involves the main fights of the night and, of course, know our predictions. This is just the first part, so keep an eye out for more tomorrow!
Yadong Song (R$1,91) x Felipe Arantes (R$1,83)
A very balanced fight, Song x Felipe Sertanejo promises to be highly unpredictable. The Brazilian comes from two consecutive defeats, but has the advantage in experience and physical strength. At 20 years old, Song is one of the good prospects coming out of China. He debuted at UFC Fight Night 122 and submitted Bharat Khandare in a very easy fight.
Very quickly, Song should create problems for Felipe, who in turn can bet on the ground fight to achieve victory. There is a good chance that the clash will end by decision of the judges. My guess will be in the Chinese because of the Brazilian's bad moment.
Hector Aldana (R$3,20) x Kenan Song (R$1,36)
I'll start by making it clear that my bet for victory is with the Chinese Kenan Song. With 15 fights in his record, 12 victories (five knockouts, six submissions and one decision) and coming off an important victory against Bob Nash, Song will face a talented Mexican, but with very little experience: Aldana. Little tested in professional MMA, this is his first fight in the UFC. I consider it very risky to invest your money in it.
Jake Matthews (R$1,18) x Shinsho Anzai (R$4,75)
Despite being just 23 years old, the Australian Jake matthews has more fights on his record than the 32-year-old Japanese, Shinsho Anzai. Jake has 16 fights, 13 wins (six by submission) while the Asian has 10 wins (seven by knockout).
Both come from two consecutive victories and have solo game characteristics. I believe the fight will stay on the feet because these are athletes who feel comfortable on the ground. Whoever is best prepared in striking will win. My guess on Oddsshark.com It's Matthews' victory, but this confrontation is a good opportunity for those more daring, as there is balance and Anzai's odds are quite profitable.
Viviane Pereira Sucuri (R$1,59) x Xiaonan Yan (R$2,40)
The chinese XiaonanYan debuted, like many other Chinese fighters, at the event that took place in November last year. At 29 years old, she is a stand-up specialist and has already scored five knockouts in just nine fights. Very aggressive, agile and throwing lots of kicks, Yan has what it takes to make Pereira's life difficult.
The Brazilian is younger (24 years old), but more experienced. There are 14 fights on his record, 13 wins (seven by decision, four by knockout and two by submission). Of her three fights in the UFC, she won two, having lost precisely her last time inside the Octagon.
Both have talent, but Viviane Sucuri is superior in jiu-jitsu, so it is very likely that we will see the Brazilian investing in the ground game. The Chinese woman's advantage is in standing up, but mainly in size, as she is much bigger. Therefore, if the Brazilian doesn't close the distance and let the straight shots come in, which is what I think will happen, then Yan will come away with the triumph.
