Welterweight champion, the Nigerian Kamaru Usman, aged 32, arrives for the clash with an extremely positive record. In 17 fights fought so far, there have been 16 wins and 1 loss – this occurred at the beginning of his career, in the second fight, in 2013. It will be the first time that this athlete puts on his belt – won in May of this year on Tyron woodley - in Game.

In the featherweight division, the fight will be between the North American Max Holloway, 27 years old, and the Australian Alexander Volkanovsky, of 30. As we said before, it also counts for a belt, which is currently in the possession of the home athlete. Holloway, with 21 wins and 4 losses, is coming off a triumph achieved in July this year over Frank Edgar. He reached the mark of 14 fights without being defeated. The most recent setback was in 2013, suffered by the loudmouth Conor McGregor. Uncle Sam's representative is going for his fourth belt defense. Therefore, favoritism is justifiable, in addition to the fact that he has the support of the audience.

In terms of history, Volkanovski, 1st in the ranking, has more attractive numbers, with 21 positive results and only 1 negative. The Oceanian fighter has been undefeated for 17 duels and, in May this year, defeated José Aldo. Remember? His resume also includes a victory over another strong UFC name: Chad Mendes, in December last year. The Great, as Volkanovski is called, makes a profit of R$2,40 at betting shops.
