More than five years after the first confrontation, won by Amanda ribas, the Brazilians return to share the octagon in UFC Las Vegas 101 consolidated as two of the best strawweights of the moment.

PUBLICITY:

Jiu-jitsu legend, Mackenzie dern should not have an easy time imposing her grappling game, since she is facing another black belt in jiu-jitsu and also in judo. If she can neutralize her opponent's takedowns, Amanda ribas should get the better of the stand-up fight, where she has more repertoire and speed than her rival.

guess: Victory of Amanda ribas, with odds at 1,50 on Stake.

Cesar Almeida x Abdul Razak Alhassan

On the main card of the event, Cesar Almeida face the veteran Abdul Razak Alhassan, in a duel valid for the middleweight (up to 83,9 kg). Although he carries the nickname 'Thunder of Judo', the Ghanaian's main tool is stand-up fighting, especially the firepower in his hands.

More complete and with a greater repertoire in striking, Cesinha Almeida needs to be careful with his rival's knockout power, especially in the first round, and must use distance control to control the pace of the fight and confirm his favoritism.

Prediction: Victory Cesar Almeida, with odds of 1,34 (used in multiple bets) on Stake.
