After a two-week hiatus, the main MMA franchise returns for another big event next Saturday (25). UFC Lincoln, which takes place in the North American state of Nebraska, will have as its main attraction the fight between lightweights Justin gaethje and James Vick, but a legion of Brazilians will also take to the octagon, offering good margins of return in online betting.
Check out the predictions for the preliminary card and find out what the best investment options are according to the odds of the Oddsshark.com.
James Krause x Warlley Alves
The fight between welterweights Warlley alves and James Krause promises to be one of the most exciting of the night. Both athletes are going through great times. The Brazilian is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Salim Touahri and another by technical knockout over Russian Sultan Aliev. The North American's recent record is even better, with four consecutive victories in his last matches.
Even given this performance, Alves is by far the best rated by bookmakers, with a profit set at 22% for victory. On the other hand, if Krause manages to achieve his fifth consecutive victory, you will be able to pocket R$4,25 for each real invested.
In such circumstances, betting on the Brazilian's defeat presents itself as an interesting option.
Cory Sandhagen x Iuri Marajó
For the bantamweight division, it is the Brazilian Iuri Marajó who arrives as the underdog against the North American Cory Sandhagen, and it couldn't be any different.
Despite the victory over Joe Soto last February, in Belém, the 38-year-old veteran Marajó has been showing a very irregular performance. In his eight most recent commitments, he won four times and lost another four, which gives little security to the bettor.
Sandhagen, in turn, is a fighter who is still looking for his place in the UFC, and started with a bang in the franchise by beating Austin Arnett at UFC on FOX 27. He is 11 years younger than the Brazilian, and has a notable record of seven victories and a defeat.
The likely triumph of the local fighter yields 38%, but if the night is Marajó's, the bettor will pocket triple the amount invested.
Andrew Sanchez x Markus Maluko
There is no favorite in the middleweight fight Andrew Sanchez and Markus Maluko, at least with regard to the quotas of the Oddsshark.com. Both offer identical return margins, R$1,87 for each real wagered.
This will be Markus Maluko's third fight for the UFC. The São Paulo native didn't make a good debut, and ended up defeated by Erik Anders. However, he was able to turn things around in his next commitment, and returned to his winning ways with a quick and surgical finish on James Bochnovic. Expectations are high to see if he will be able to repeat his performance. Throughout his career, Maluko has recorded 10 triumphs and one setback.
the american Andrew Sanchez has been at the company a little longer, and has followed a path opposite to Maluko. He shined in his first fights, but was defeated the last two times he stepped into the Octagon, both in 2017.
In this fight, I believe the Brazilian deserves a vote of confidence.
Joanne Calderwood x Kalindra Faria
Brazilian flyweight Kalindra Faria has not yet said what she came to the UFC for, but she will have the third opportunity to seek victory in the fight against Joanne calderwood, which is also not going through a good phase.
Kalindra experienced the most fruitful moment of her career between 2011 and 2014, when she had 11 consecutive victories, but since then, she has shown an irregular performance. In her last fights, she was submitted by Mara Romero Borella and lost by split decision to Jessica Eye.
Joanne calderwood She arrived at the UFC undefeated in 2015, when she boasted a promising record of nine wins. However, she experienced more disappointments than joys in Dana White's franchise, with three defeats and two victories in five fights.
The Scottish player has slight favoritism, with odds of R$1,58 per real bet. Kalindra is confident that she will finally win again, and if this happens, the bettor will be left with the equivalent of 2,4 times the amount committed.
Rani Yahya x Luke Sanders
In the first fight of the night, the Brazilian Rani Yaya must put up a fairly balanced fight against Luke sanders, former champion of the bantamweight division for the RFA (Resurrection Fighting Alliance).
Yahya arrives on the back of two big wins over Henry Briones and Russell Doane, both by submission. He specializes in jiu-jitsu, and since moving to the bantamweight division in 2014, he has been defeated just once in eight appearances. His record is 25 wins, nine losses and one draw.
Sanders had a bad year in 2017, but found his feet again by winning his fight against Patrick Williams last April. He arrived at the UFC with a record of 10 wins and no losses, but after four fights for the franchise, the score is 2-2.
Bets for either side offer practically the same return. The Brazilian's victory yields 83%, and the North American's, R$1,90/R$1,00.
