Dustin Ortiz x Matheus Nicolau

The Brazilian Matheus Nicolau He currently occupies 12th place in the flyweight rankings, but will have the opportunity to move up a few positions if he beats North American Dustin Ortiz, who has been in the UFC for longer, and is ranked ninth.

PUBLICITY:

This will be Nicolau's fourth fight in the franchise, and the impression made so far couldn't have been better. There were three victories over Bruno Rodrigues, by submission, John Moraga, by split division, and Louis Smolka, by unanimous decision, which makes up a record of 13 wins, one no contest and a single defeat. The setback came in 2012, when he was knocked out by Pedro Nobre.

Ortiz, in turn, also had a good run in his last commitments, with victories over Hector Sandoval and Alexandre pantoja, but his trajectory in five years in the UFC is quite irregular. For the franchise, he triumphed in seven fights and lost another six. His record throughout his career is 18 wins and seven losses.

PUBLICITY:

The Brazilian fighter has a very strong favoritism, with a return of 38% for victory. If the underdog North American wins, the bettor will pocket triple the amount invested.

Kajan Johnson vs Islam Makhachev

Owner of a record of 15 wins and a single defeat, the Russian Islam makhachev is one of the most promising fighters in the lightweight division, and will be looking for his fourth consecutive victory against a local fighter, the experienced Kajan Johnson.

At 34 years old, the Canadian is experiencing the best moment of his long career, he also won his four most recent fights, the last of which was in March, against the American Stevie Ray, and he believes he can do it again against Makhachev.

PUBLICITY:

Bookmakers, however, take the Russian's victory for granted.

According to the quotas of the oddsshark, this result will provide a return of 15%. On the other hand, if Johnson makes Canadian fans happy, the bettor will pocket a formidable R$5,25 for every real invested. This is, by far, the biggest highlight of the event.

Hakeem Dawodu vs. Austin Arnett

In the duel between the Canadian Hakeem dawodu and North-American Austin Arnett in the featherweight division, the favoritism all belongs to the home fighter, despite his poor debut for the franchise.

Dawoodu was finished by Danny henry No. UFC London, on March 17th, but he still has credit for everything he did in Word Series of Fighting. His record is seven wins, one no contest and one defeat.

Arnett, on the other hand, is coming off two very poor performances against Brandon Davies, in which he lost by unanimous decision, and Cory Sandhagen, who knocked him out last January, at UFC 127. The North American continues to have a good record of 15 wins and four losses, but given this recent record, his opponent becomes a more interesting betting option.

Dawoodu's triumph is priced at R$1,27/R$1,00, but if the winner is Austin Arnett, the profit will be R$2,70 for each real bet.
