The Ultimate Fighting Championship enters a special week within the organization. This is because the 6th and 7th of July mark two important events on the calendar: The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale and UFC 226, respectively. In 226 there will be a fight for the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2kg) between the champion, Stipe Miocic, and Daniel Cormier, holder of the light heavyweight title (up to 92,9kg). The events take place in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to make big profits at oddsshark. In this first analysis, you will follow the preliminary fights, with greater emphasis on the Brazilian Paulo borrachinha before Uriah Hall.
(R$1,22) Paulo Borrachinha x Uriah Hall (R$4,25)
Brazilian Paulo Costa arrived at the UFC in 2017 with a record of eight wins and no losses. With his very aggressive fighting style, using physical strength and striking, Borrachinha won his three fights in the biggest MMA event in the world, all of them by knockout. Speaking of which, there are 10 wins by knockout and only one by submission.
Despite having sharp jiu-jitsu, the Brazilian doesn't usually take the game to the ground and dominates his opponents in the stand-up game. Nonetheless, Uriah Hall He also likes this style of fighting, and that's where we could have quite a fight. At 33 years old, the American has 21 fights on his record, 13 wins and eight losses. His recent record is not favorable and he has lost three in his last four fights, despite having won his last clash.
If you invest R$100,00 in the Brazilian athlete and he wins, your income will reach R$122,00 (profit margin of R$22,00), whereas if you decide to take a risk and bet the same amount on Hall , your salaries will be R$425,00. However, my guess at the bookmakers is that Paulo borrachinha.
(R$1,64) Paul Felder x Mike Perry (R$2,25)
The fighting styles match a lot and everything indicates that we will have an athlete being knocked out. Felder, 33 years old, has 18 fights on his record (15 wins and just three losses). His last opponent was the talented Brazilian Charles Oliveira, last December, and the American achieved his third consecutive victory when he applied a series of elbow strikes and referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the fight.
I think that Perry (14 fights on his record; 11 wins, all by knockout) does have a chance of coming out with the victory and I suggest that if you are more daring with your bets, then you can believe in the underdog's triumph. However, my guess is that Felder will win, as I'm betting on his physical strength, greater experience and ease in transitioning from MMA.
(R$1,57) Raphael Assunção x Rob Front (R$2,45)
No oddsshark Assunção's victory is paying R$1,57 for each real invested, a value considerably higher than that of the opponent (R$2,45). Despite finding it a difficult match to predict, I believe that the Brazilian has an advantage in physical strength and technique, but loses in size, a fact that can be exploited by Rob. I see a fight being taken to the ground and decided by the judges at the end of the three rounds, with Raphael winning.
