This Saturday, June 23, Singapore will host the 132nd edition of the Ultimate Fighting Championhsip Fight Night with a great clash as the main fight: Leon edwards x Donald Cerrone. Despite being more experienced, Cerrone (35 years old) appears as a dark horse in the odds of the oddsshark. The fight tends to be held standing up and we will probably have someone knocked out, making the bets even more unpredictable. There will be 12 fights on the night and several opportunities for you to make a lot of profit. We have separated two articles for you to know everything that involves the main fights of the night and, of course, know our predictions.

Leon Edwards (R$1,50) x Donald Cerrone (R$2,60)

Cerrone is one of the most talented athletes in MMA when it comes to striking. Owner of many resources and combos mixing punches with kicks, the athlete, however, is not limited to this, so much so that he has more submissions on his resume than knockouts. His record has 43 fights, 33 wins (nine knockouts, 16 submissions and eight decisions) and 10 losses.

The worrying thing for Donald's career is that he was defeated in three of his last four fights. However, in February of this year, against the Brazilian Yanci Medeiros, the “Cowboy” recovered and knocked him out in the first round. At 35 years old, the fighter has shown that he is on the decline, and that is the main reason for being considered the underdog against Edwards.

Speaking of the English fighter, Leon is 26 years old and has a very solid career in MMA. There are 15 victories, six of which are knockouts, three by submission and six by judge's decision, in addition to three defeats (two by decision and one indicated as “other”). In the UFC since 2014, “Rocky” entered the most famous octagon in the world on nine occasions, winning on seven occasions.

Full of energy and with a lot of talent in stand-up fighting, Edwards must rely on this and his youth to overcome the dangerous Donald Cerrone, which in turn has more tools to achieve victory. Vitória de Leon pays R$1,50 against R$2,60, and I can even agree with this recommendation.

However, I will bet on the greater experience and ease of transition that Cerrone has. Since the fight must be on the feet, I believe that the 33-year-old fighter will try to take the fight to the ground in order to cool down, save energy and guarantee himself in an area where he is clearly superior, always using his entire repertoire. Therefore, my guess is Oddsshark.com It's the underdog's victory.

Tyson Pedro (R$1,74) x Ovince Saint Preux (R$2,05)

The Australian Tyson Peter He has only lost once in his career (it was by unanimous decision of the judges), but he has seven victories. Since 2016 in the UFC, the athlete has won by submission against Saparbek Safarov, at UFC 221. The full potential of the 26-year-old fighter is still unknown, but so far he has proven to be a guy with interesting resources.

Ovince saint preux It will certainly be the biggest challenge of Tyson's career. At 35 years old, the American from Tennessee has already faced big names in MMA, such as: Ryan bader, Mauritius Shogun, Glover Teixeira, Rafael Cavalcante, Jon Jones, Jimi Manuwa, Volkan oezdemir e Yushin Okami. This experience should make a difference.

My guess is that Ovince will win, but I make it clear that we will have a very balanced match. Pedro is better on the ground, but Saint Preux dominates the striking; the first has more gas, while the second has the tranquility of someone highly tested. My argument for Ovince's triumph is solely because of experience.
