(R$ 1,25) Kamaru Usman x Jorge Masvidal (R$ 4,00)

Owner of the welterweight belt since 2019, when he became the first African UFC fighter, the Nigerian Kamaru Usman is a strong favorite to remain at the top of the category. It is valued at R$1,25 for every R$1,00 invested by you. The Nigerian Nightmare has an enviable record at the moment, with 18 wins and just one defeat. This setback happened a long time ago, in 2013.

In July last year, Kamaru already defeated this weekend's opponent. It was on UFC 251. Will we have a rematch for the North American athlete Jorge masvidal. He has a longer record: 35 triumphs and 14 setbacks. His last fight was last year's defeat to the Nigerian. Before that, the home owner was undefeated in three matches. If he wins again, Gamebred will pay R$4,00.

(R$ 2,30) Alex Cowboy x Randy Brown (R$ 1,64)

Also at welterweight, Alex Cowboy, born in Três Rios, Rio de Janeiro, climbs into the octagon to face the Jamaican Randy Brown. The two fighters arrive for the UFC 261 after having missed their previous appointment. The Brazilian, with a record of 22 wins, one draw and nine defeats, lost to Shavkat Rakhmonov in October last year, while the opponent, with 12 positive results and one negative, was surpassed by Vincent Luque in August of the same year. The first fighter generates a return of R$2,30, and the second, R$1,64 for 1.

(R$ 1,90) Uriah Hall x Chris Weidman (R$ 1,90)

Forecast of a very competitive fight at middleweight. Both the American Uriah Hall as the compatriot Chris Weidman are priced at R$1,90 at bookmakers. We are talking about fighters that are well known to the general public that follows the UFC.

Unbeaten in three draws, Hall has a record of 16 wins and nine losses. On the other hand, Weidman, with 15 victories and five setbacks, in August last year managed to recover from the sequence of two consecutive defeats with the victory over Omari Akhmedov.

Guesses: Kamaru Usman (BRL 1,25), Alex Cowboy (R$ 2,30) and Uriah Hall (R $ 1,90).
