PUBLICITY:

Mark Hunt x Alexey Oleinik

The main fight of UFC Fight Night 136 will pit two forty-somethings who are still in full swing, and competitively, face to face.

Oleinik, the local representative, is 41 years old, and has been on the road since 1996. His extensive record has 56 wins, 11 losses and one draw. He triumphed in 14 of his last 16 fights, and received the Performance of the Night award when he submitted Brazilian Junior Albini at UFC 224, in May, in Rio de Janeiro.

PUBLICITY:

Mark Hunt, 44 years old, is coming off a defeat to Curtis blaydes at UFC 221, in February, but in his previous commitment, six months earlier, he knocked out Derrick Lewis at UFC Auckland, in what was considered Fight of the Night. The New Zealander has a record of 13 wins, 12 losses and one draw, and is ranked eighth in the heavyweight division.

Betting on Oleinik proves to be quite profitable, since if successful it will return R$2,59 for every real invested. The favoritism, however, belongs to Hunt, who has the triumph priced at R$1,52/R$1,00.

PUBLICITY:

Jan Blachowicz x Nikita Krylov

The expectation is for a very balanced duel between the Polish Jan Blachowicz and the Ukrainian Nikita Krylov in the co-main event. Both fighters are going through a good phase, and have been gaining positions in the light heavyweight division rankings.

Blachowicz is ranked fourth, and hasn't known what it's like to lose since he faced Patrick Cummins in April 2016. Since then, he's submitted Devin Clark and got the better of Jared Cannonier and Jimi Manuwa by unanimous decision. His record is 22 wins and seven losses, and he has been in the UFC since 2014. Before becoming a Dana White signee, he was champion of KSW, the top Polish MMA organization.

The young Nikita Krylov, 26 years old, has an extensive record of 29 fights, with a curious characteristic: none of them were decided by the judges. Whether in victories, which were 24, or in his five defeats, the fights always ended by knockout or submission. Intensity, therefore, is what the Ukrainian does not lack. He has been away from the UFC since he lost to Misha Cirkunov at the end of 2016, and since then he has had a successful three-fight stint with FNG (Fight Nights Global).

PUBLICITY:

Krylov has a slight favoritism, with the victory priced at R$1,83/1,00. If Blachowicz wins, the profit will be 99%.

Andrei Arlovski vs Shamil Abdurakhimov

The Belarusian Andrei Arlovski and Russian Shamil Abdurakhimov are, respectively, 11th and 14th in the heavyweight division rankings, but despite the lower position, the favoritism belongs to the local fighter.

In his most recent fight, at UFC Shanghai, Abdurakhimov needed just a minute and a half to knock out Chase sherman. In the UFC since 2015, he has a positive record so far, with three wins and two losses. His entire record presents even more favorable numbers, 18 triumphs and four setbacks.

Arlovski, in turn, has been going through a difficult period, and was showered with cold water in his last fight. The Belarusian's ordeal began with the defeat to Stipe Miocic, in January 2016, the first in a series of five. When his career seemed ruined, he won again after almost two years when he faced the Brazilian Junior Albini, and managed a new triumph against Stefan struve. Against Tai tuivasa, at UFC 225, just over two months ago, he was defeated by unanimous decision, but left the octagon questioning the result. His record is 27 wins and 16 losses.

According to Oddsshark.com, the profit will be 71% in case of Abdurakhimov's victory, while Arlovski's victory is priced at R$2,10/R$1,00.

 Alexey Kunchenko x Thiago Pitbull

In yet another fight in the welterweight division, the Brazilian Thiago Pitbull arrives as an underdog to face UFC newcomer Alexey Kunchenko.

The Russian is a phenomenon of M-1, the main local organization, where he was champion, and boasts a record of 18 wins and no losses. Kunchenko has won 72% of his victories by knockout, and being 11 years younger than Pitbull, he should have the advantage in the physical aspect.

The Brazilian has been in the UFC for 12 years, but in the last three years he has accumulated more frustrations than joys. Pitbull won just one of his four most recent fights, against Patrick Côté, and when he returned to the octagon, in ufc austin, in February, was knocked out by Curtis Millender with a knee. His record is 22 losses and four defeats.

If Thiago manages to surprise, the return will be an excellent R$4,50 per real bet. Everything is heading, however, towards Kunchenko's triumph, which will provide the bettor with a 20% profit.
