The 23-year-old young man from São Paulo, Ricardo Carcacinha, with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, is looking for a recovery after being defeated in February 2019 by Said Nurmagomedov. Before this fall, he had accumulated 4 consecutive victories. According to OddsShark, Brazilian favoritism is very high, valued at R$ .32 for every R$ 1,00 invested against R$ 3,35 for the American JourneyNewson.
The foreigner has fewer fights in his history. There were 7 positive results and 1 negative, with an unbeaten record of 4 appearances. What may matter is that his most recent challenge was played in February last year.
Eryk Anders x Vinicius Mamute
Unlike Ricardo, Vinícius Mamute is seen in bookmakers as quite the underdog, with the return value being R$3,65. Against the naturalized American Filipino Erik Anders, in the bantamweight division, the 29-year-old from Brasilia is coming off a knockout (punches) suffered at the beginning of the year to Alonzo Menifield. His record is 9 wins and 2 losses. This will be only his second fight in Ultimate. It's nothing out of this world to get your first triumph this weekend, no. That's because Anders hasn't won in 3 fights.
Maurice Greene x Junior Albini
In the heavyweight division, Junior Albini, 28 years old from Paraná, is also looking to end his fast, which today is 3 fights. His most recent victory came in July 2017, when he faced Timothy Johnson. What levels the fight is that the American Maurice Greene goes through the same period without leaving the octagon as a winner, in addition to the fact that he has only made 2 appearances in the UFC. Brazilians pay R$1,95, R$0,15 more than foreigners.
Emily Whitmire x Amanda Ribas
Among women, we will debut at strawweight. Its about Amanda ribas, 25 years old, born in Varginha, a small city in Minas Gerais. In her short career so far, the Minas Gerais native has achieved 6 positive results and suffered only 1 negative result.
