The Brazilian makes the main fight of UFC Hamburg against the North American Anthony Smith. However, depending on the bookmakers, the chance for the title could be postponed.

According to quotation from oddsshark, the Paraná native has a quote of 2,85 for each real bet. This means that for every R$100 bet on Shogun, in case of victory, the player wins R$285. On the other hand, whoever puts their chips on Smith takes R$1,42 for every real bet.
Glover Teixeira x Corey Anderson
Third place in the light heavyweight rankings, Glover Teixeira, originally would fight with Ilir Latifi in Germany, but the Swede was injured and was replaced at the last minute by Corey anderson. The general assessment is that the exchange benefited the Brazilian, who became the clear favorite to win the fight.
Anderson stepped into the Octagon just three months ago to beat Patrick Cummins by unanimous decision, but before that he lost two consecutive fights to Jimi Manuwa and Ovince St Preux, both by knockout. His career in the UFC is quite irregular, with seven wins and four losses.
At 38, Glover Teixeira still dreams of the belt. He won Misha Cirkunov in his last fight, but before that he was knocked out by the number one ranked player, Alexander Gustafson, in an epic fight, lasting five rounds.
Despite his advanced age, the Brazilian remains very competitive, and is the most likely to win the fight, with a return of 54% on the amount bet. If the North American triumphs, each real invested will yield R$2,50.
Vitor Miranda x Abu Azaitar
After eight months of intense preparation, the Brazilian Vitor miranda returns to the octagon in Hamburg after just over a year out, and will have the difficult task of facing the local representative Abu Azaitar, which emerges as a favorite. Despite also being inactive for a long time, the German performed better in his last commitments.
Azaitar is undefeated in nine fights, and hasn't known a setback since 2012, when he faced Marcin Naruszczka. With a record of 13 wins, one loss and one no contest, the 32-year-old fighter will make his UFC debut surrounded by great expectations.
Vitor miranda, in turn, comes from setbacks against Chris Camozzi and Marvin vettori, and last won in March 2016, when he faced Marcelo Guimarães. The Brazilian is a tough fighter to beat. His record is 12 wins, nine by knockout, and six defeats, all by jury decision.
According to the quotas of the Oddsshark.com, the return for a victory for Miranda will be R$2,50 for each real invested, while Azaitar will guarantee a 54% profit if he makes the German public happy.
