A long-awaited event for all fans of the best MMA in the world, Ultimate Fighting Championship 226, which takes place this Saturday (July 07th), at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas, has seen quite a drop recently. This because Max Holloway, featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg), had to leave the event card after doctors found that he suffered a concussion in the final stretch of preparation for the fight against Brian ortega. The news took the organizers by surprise and Ortega will need to wait for Holloway to recover before he can have a chance to win the belt. However, the event still has several excellent fights and many opportunities for you to profit from the Oddsshark.com. For the heavyweights (up to 120,2kg), Stipe Miocic puts your belt on the line against Daniel Cormier, holder of the light heavyweight title (up to 92,9kg). Still in the heavyweights, Francis Ngannou face Derrick Lewis in a duel of giants that promises a lot of striking. This is the second part of the analysis for the night. Check out!
(R$1,40) Stipe Miocic x Daniel Cormier (R$2,95)

The Croatian-American Stipe Miocic He arrived at the UFC as a complete unknown in mid-2011 and with a record of six fights and six wins, all by knockout and in small tournaments. Since then, there have been 14 fights in the most famous octagon in the world, with 12 victories (eight knockouts and four judges' decisions, all unanimous) and only two defeats, placing him as the second best fighter in the world weight for weight.
His morals are such that, even facing a guy of the caliber of Daniel Cormier, yet Stipe is widely favored in sports odds. This Saturday's opponent is not just any athlete. At 39 years old, he has 21 fights on his record and 20 wins, nine of which are knockouts, four submissions and seven judge decisions. His only defeat came in January 2015, due to his personal disaffection, Jon Jones.
The styles match a lot, however, Miocic has a clear physical advantage, as he is much taller and stronger, although Cormier is also considered an athlete with brute strength. Daniel's advantage is the grappling game, where Stipe may have greater difficulty. However, I find it very difficult that the current heavyweight champion cannot control the fight well and impose his pace. Therefore, my guess is that Miocic will win.
(R$1,27) Francis Ngannou x Derrick Lewis (R$3,80)
One thing seems certain for this confrontation: we will have someone getting knocked out. Hardly a clash between two big guys with weight in their hands, like Ngannou and Lewis, doesn't end with someone kissing the canvas. Even more so because none of them have gas that is far outside the curve. Francis is 1,93m and 118kg, while his opponent is 1,90m and weighs 119kg.
Together they have 24 knockouts in their career. Derrick is more experienced, but technically the advantage belongs to Frenchman Ngannou, without a doubt. My guess is that the one with the greatest technique will win, however, I make it clear that betting on Lewis can be quite tempting, since R$100,00 on oddsshark they can yield a net profit of R$280,00 – R$380,00 (total value) minus R$100,00 (amount invested) – and it is far from being a surprise or something impossible.
