O ufc vegas 105 promises good duels for this Saturday night (5). The main one is considered a clash of generations: Josh Emmett e Lerone murphy. But the event is quite interesting for the green and yellow fans. In the second most important fight of the night, Joanderson Tubarão seeks to rediscover the path of victories that he was masterfully building until he came across William Gomis. But to do this, you need to go through pat sabatini, considered the underdog in the fight.

In fact, the number of Brazilians is striking. There are five in total. A sixth name was scheduled, but Daniel Willycat did not show up at the scale and had the fight canceled. With five Brazilian names on the preliminary card, the ufc vegas 105 has plenty of reasons to keep MMA fans engaged from start to finish.
Important event for featherweights

The main fight of the night pits two top 10 featherweight contenders (up to 65,7kg) against each other. The tenth Lerone murphy wants to climb steps when facing the eighth Josh Emmett. To do this, he needs to justify his 16-fight unbeaten streak against the 40-year-old veteran. And let the spaces open up in the division… because before the two fight, a Brazilian will try to pave the way to the UFC's 'top 15'.
Joanderson Tubarão won Diego lopes to join the organization. In August 2021, the two met at Dana White's Contender Series and the Maranhão native won by technical decision at the beginning of the third round. Since then, seven fights and only two losses. After the last setback, Joanderson has the chance to find his way back to winning ways and build a career in the division.
'Green and yellow squad' in the octagon
In addition to Joanderson, four names will make the national fans wave the green and yellow flag. The first fight of the night pits one of 'ours' against 'them'. Not one. One! It's about Talita Alencar. She will try to improve her record with seven fights so far, reaching the sixth victory of her career over Vanesssa Demopoulos. The 'Problem Child' has only one loss and one draw in professional fights.
Later it will be the turn of Pedro Falcao introduce himself. And that 'Pedrinho' has no problem with names. After five consecutive victories, including the Contender Series, he fell in his debut to Victor Hugo. A year later, he will face a namesake of the winner: Victor Henry.
Afterwards, it will be time to istela nunes go to the game. With six wins and five losses on her record, the Paraná native will fight with Konklak Suphisara. And closing the preliminary card a 'favorite' Dione Barbosa will show up. Which is the subject of our next topic.
Brazilian favoritism

While Dione Barbosa come from defeat to Miranda maverick No. ufc vegas 94, in July last year, the Brazilian is popular among fans. The betting house 'Stake' to 1,09 in her victory. But in case of defeat, the odd is 8,50.
The woman from Pernambuco will face Diana Belbita, an athlete four years younger. The 'underdog' situation is understandable. After being defeated by Glória Paula in 2022, the Romanian has only had one victory since then. Her last two fights were won by Karolina Kowalkiewicz e Molly McCann.
Feeling of closeness
