Iaquinta is rated as a favorite to win, paying a quota of R$ 1,74 for every R$ 1,00 invested by you, according to the OddsShark. Born in New York, aged 32, the fighter with an Italian name arrives for the clash coming off a hard-fought victory over Kevin Lee in December last year. At the time, the confrontation went until the fifth round. Currently, their record is 14 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. In the lightweight rankings, he occupies 4th place, while his next opponent is in 8th.

PUBLICITY:

Cerrone, born in Colorado, in turn, earning R$2,05, has a much longer track record than his opponent, after all he is older, at 36 years old. So far, he has had 35 triumphs and 11 setbacks. He was called up to UFC Ottawa after the loud-mouthed Irishman Conor McGregor already have another fighter to face. Donald Cerrone hasn't lost in 2 fights. His last performances were against Alexander Hernandez, in January 2019, and Mike Perry, in November last year.

Look, I believe in a very even duel. It is not possible to identify a winner in such a loose way, no, despite the difference in the odds being R$0,31.

PUBLICITY:

Derek Brunson x Elias Theodorou

American from North Carolina, Derek Brunson, 35 years old, and the home owner, Canadian Elias Theodorou, 31 years old, have another well-balanced fight. In this case, the amounts of returns are more even than the clash mentioned in the previous paragraphs. These athletes are in the middleweight category.

Brunson yields R$ 1,83, indicates the OddsShark. Uncle Sam's representative, oddly enough, is the favorite, however, he is coming off 2 defeats, suffered by Israel adesanya and Ronaldo Souza, both in 2018. His record is 18 wins and 6 losses. Certainly, the favoritism is due to the position in the ranking. Derek Brunson is the 8th place.

PUBLICITY:

Theodorou, who generates R$1,90 if he wins, only occupies 14th place in the middleweight rankings. If I were you, I would give the money to the Canadians. I say this because he will count on the massive support of the fans, not to mention that he has 3 positive results in a row. In his career, he competed in 18 fights, with 16 wins and only 2 losses.
