Michelle Waterson x Cortney Casey

The North Americans Michelle Waterson and Cortney Casey seek recovery after negative results in their last fights.

PUBLICITY:

Ranked seventh in the 52 kg division rankings, Waterson had a promising start in the UFC, and stood out for her good work on the ground. Her two most notable victories, against Angela Magana, in the final of TUF 21, and paige vanzant, at Fight Night Sacramento, were via submission. However, the strawweight was defeated in her two fights last year, against Rose namajunas e Tecia torres, and he will be far from contention for the belt if he suffers another setback.

Cortney Casey, on the other hand, is a very irregular fighter, and despite showing a lot of potential, she still needs to develop. She has a record of seven wins and five losses, and got the worst of her last fight, against Felice herrig, at UFC 218. Currently, he occupies 12th place in the category ranking.

PUBLICITY:

The fight should be quite balanced, but Casey has a slight favoritism, providing a return of R$1,77/R$1,00 for the victory, according to the Oddsshark.com. If Waterson manages to turn things around, the bettor will receive double the amount invested.

Israel Adesanya vs Marvin Vettori

The middleweight fight Israel adesanya e Marvin vettori It will be an interesting clash between two very different styles. The Nigerian stands out for his refined kickboxing technique, as well as being a good boxer. The Italian, on the other hand, has his origins in the gentle art, is a brown belt in jiu-jitsu and specializes in ground fighting.

This will be Adesanya's second commitment to the UFC. In the previous fight, he knocked out Rob Wilkinson at UFC 221, in Australia, and thus maintained his remarkable record of 12 wins and no losses.

PUBLICITY:

Vettori comes from a draw with Omari Akhmedov at UFC 219, and in his three previous fights for Dana White's franchise, he beat Alberto Uda and Vitor miranda, but was defeated by Antônio Carlos Júnior via unanimous decision at UFC 207.

The tendency is for Adesanya's agility and good striking to prevail over Vettori's toughness, and that's why the Nigerian is the favorite. According to Oddsshark.com, an Adesanya triumph will pay R$1,40/R$1,00, while the Italian will return R$2,95 per real bet if he manages to win.

Dustin Poirier x Justin Gaethje

The big attraction of the night will be a fight that is among the most anticipated of the year, between lightweights Dustin poirier x Justin gaethje.

The first has been with the franchise since 2011, and is coming off a consecrating knockout victory over Anthony Pettis, in what was considered the best fight at UFC Fight Night in Virginia, in November last year. He has a record of 22 wins, five losses and one draw.

Justin gaethje, in turn, is a World Series of Fighting phenomenon seeking his place in the UFC. For the old franchise, the North American managed ten consecutive victories, and won the belt in his category. In the most important MMA division, Gaethje debuted with a knockout over Michael Johnson in the TUF Redemption Finale, but came under question after losing resoundingly to Eddie Alvarez at UFC 218. His record, however, continues to be highly positive, 18 wins and one loss.

Poirer's experience speaks loudest in the betting market, guaranteeing a 71% return for victory. However, Gaethje knows that his future depends on this fight, and it could be a more interesting investment option, since according to the Oddsshark.com, will return R$2,10 per real bet if you manage to win.
