INTERIM FLYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

LIVE onUFC FIGHTPASS®

BRASÍLIA, FEDERAL DISTRICT, 巴西

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will make its second trip to the capital city of Brazil in July with a Championship Headliner at LFA 212. The main event will feature an interim flyweight title fight between two of South America’s most decorated prospects. This interim title defense became necessary as the promotion awaits the status of its sitting champion Eduardo Chapolin, who is currently competing on the UFC’s thirty-third season of 終極戰士.

This will be the twenty-third LFA event to take place in Brazil and it will celebrate the promotion’s international expansion that began four summer’s ago. LFA 212 will take place in the Federal District, which makes it the third LFA event to take place in the Central-West Region of Brazil. LFA has also visited the Brazilian states of Rio de JaneiroSão Paulo, 伯南布哥, and Mato Grosso.

LFA 212: Degli vs. 米格爾, presented byMonster Energy, 發生星期五, July 11th in Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. The main event will feature an interim flyweight title fight when interim champion MarcosTailandês” Degli defends his title against top contender Oscar Miguel. The entire main card will be available worldwide onUFC FIGHTPASS®  在 8 P.M. AND / 5 P.M. PT.

We are excited to bring the LFA Interim Flyweight Championship to the capital city of Brazil,” stated Soares.The LFA began its international expansion in July of 2021. We have since hosted 22 events in Brazil in the states of Rio de JaneiroSão Paulo, 伯南布哥, and Mato Grosso as well as the Federal District. LFA 212 will be our second event in the nation’s capital city of Brasília and we will celebrate our 4-year-anniversary in the country with a title fight. What makes this title fight even more exciting is the fact that it features two of South America’s most decorated prospects. Marcos Degli(巴西) and Oscar Miguel (秘魯) will also rekindle a Brazil vs. Latin America fight tradition that started in the LFA last July.” 

Degli (12-3) started his year in February by becoming the LFA’s fourteenth flyweight champion. He did this by defeating fellow top prospect Lincon Santos in the co-main event of LFA 201. The crowning moment came when Degli landed a beautiful Left Hook to knock out the fellow Brazilian National Muay Thai champion in the second round of their interim flyweight title fight. The interim title shot became available to Degli after the LFA’s sitting flyweight champion Eduardo Chapolin was cast to compete on the UFC’s thirty-third season of 終極戰士. Degli’s win over Santos ran his LFA record to 4-0 and earned him a gold belt to go along with his BJJ black belt. 然而, instead of waiting on Chapolin, Degli jumped at the opportunity to defend his interim title much like LFA great Charles Johnson did four summer’s ago.

Degli was also eager to face the biggest challenge in his division, who happens to reside on the other side of his continent. That would be none other than Peruvian kingpin Oscar Miguel. Degli vs. Miguel also rekindles the Brazil vs. Latin America rivalry that began last July at LFA 187, when the LFA hosted a team challenge between the two most dominant factions of MMA talent in the southern hemisphere.

米格爾 (14-1) is one of the most beloved fighters to hail from theLand of Incas”. Peru has in fact experienced its Golden Era in MMA over the past few years with Claudio Puelles, Daniel Marcos, Jose Ochoa, Kevin Borjas, Luis Pajuelo, Rolando Bedoya, Jesus Pinedo, James Llontop, and Enrique Barzola all reaching the pinnacle of the sport by competing in the UFC. That success has also carried over to the LFA Octagon, where both Rodrigo Vera and Abraham Racho just won their LFA debuts impressively at LFA 209. Miguel will now become just the second Peruvian fighter to fight for an LFA title and to headline an LFA event after his countrywoman Sandra Lavado became the first to accomplish both these feats two summers ago at LFA 164. 然而, Miguel will be looking to become the first to bring LFA gold back home to Peru.

Combat Sports Weekend Preview: UFC Vegas 107 & Boxing Showcase

由: 豐富的伯杰龍

This weekend features compelling action across both mixed martial arts and boxing, with UFC Vegas 107 headlined by Erin Blanchfield vs. Maycee Barber taking center stage alongside significant boxing cards featuring established names and rising contenders.

UFC Vegas 107: Blanchfield vs. Barber – 五月 31, 2025

主要事件: Women’s Flyweight Showdown

The UFC returns to the Apex facility in Las Vegas with a women’s flyweight bout that carries significant divisional implications. Erin Blanchfield faces Maycee Barber in the main event, representing a clash between two of the division’s most promising contenders.

Erin Blanchfield enters this contest as one of the most technically proficient grapplers in the women’s flyweight division. Known for her suffocating ground game and submission prowess, Blanchfield has built her reputation on methodical performances that showcase her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt credentials. Her wrestling base allows her to dictate where fights take place, often overwhelming opponents with her positional control and relentless pressure.

Blanchfield’s striking has evolved considerably throughout her UFC tenure. While she may not possess potent knockout power, her technical boxing and ability to set up takedowns through striking exchanges make her a well-rounded threat. Her top-level cardio gives her consistent advantages, allowing her to maintain pressure throughout three-round contests.

Maycee Barber represents the athletic, explosive side of the flyweight equation. “The Futureburst onto the scene with dynamic striking and aggressive forward pressure. Her athletic gifts are undeniable – explosive takedown defense, sharp boxing combinations, and the ability to generate power in short exchanges.

Barber’s evolution as a fighter has been notable. Early career setbacks taught her valuable lessons about pacing herself and the importance of fight IQ, leading to more measured approaches in recent outings. Her striking diversity, including effective kicks and knees, provides multiple weapons to threaten opponents. The question remains whether her takedown defense can withstand Blanchfield’s persistent wrestling attacks.

Tactical Breakdown: This matchup presents a classic grappler versus striker dynamic. Blanchfield will look to close the distance, secure takedowns, and control position while hunting for submissions. Barber’s success depends on maintaining a comfortable distance, stuffing takedown attempts, and unleashing combinations during brief exchanges.

The key factor that may sway the fight in her favor will be Barber’s ability to create scrambles and also wall-walking back up when taken down. If she can consistently return to her feet, her striking advantages become more pronounced. Conversely, if Blanchfield can establish prolonged ground control, her submission threats and ground-and-pound could prove decisive.

合作的主要事件: Lightweight Contenders Collide

Mateusz Gamrot faces Ludovit Klein in a lightweight bout that could have ranking implications for both fighters.

Mateusz Gamrot represents one of the most complete lightweights outside the division’s elite tier. The Polish veteran combines elite-level wrestling with increasingly dangerous striking. His grappling credentials speak for themselves – multiple submission victories and dominant positional control define his ground game.

Gamrot’s striking has developed into a legitimate threat. His boxing combinations, particularly his jab-cross sequences, set up takedown opportunities while keeping opponents honest on the feet. His conditioning allows him to maintain a grueling pace that often breaks opponents in later rounds.

Ludovit Klein brings European kickboxing pedigree and improving wrestling defense. His striking flows naturally, with excellent footwork and combination punching that can trouble any opponent. Klein’s recent performances have showcased improved takedown defense and scrambling ability.

The Slovakian’s path to victory involves keeping the fight standing and outworking Gamrot in striking exchanges. His volume and diversity of attacks could accumulate damage over three rounds if he can neutralize wrestling threats.

Fight Analysis: Gamrot enters as the betting favorite based on his grappling advantages and overall experience level. Klein’s striking poses legitimate threats, but his ability to defend takedowns consistently will determine the fight’s trajectory. Expect Gamrot to mix wrestling attempts with striking exchanges, while Klein looks to counter and maintain distance.

Light Heavyweight Action: Power Meets Technique

Dustin Jacoby meets Bruno Lopes in a light heavyweight contest featuring contrasting styles and experience levels.

達斯汀·雅各比 brings extensive kickboxing experience and proven UFC-level competition. His striking base provides clean technique and fight-ending power. Jacoby’s recent performances have demonstrated improved wrestling defense and ground awareness, addressing previous vulnerabilities.

His kickboxing background translates well to MMA, with excellent distance management and counter-striking ability. Jacoby’s leg kicks and boxing combinations can accumulate damage quickly against opponents who engage in striking exchanges.

Bruno Lopes represents the emerging Brazilian talent pipeline. His grappling base and submission threats provide alternative victory paths beyond striking exchanges. 洛佩斯’ aggression and willingness to engage in exchanges make him dangerous throughout fights.

The Brazilian’s striking has shown improvement, though his tendency toward wild exchanges can create opportunities for technical strikers like Jacoby to capitalize.

Middleweight Prospects Square Off

Zachary Resse faces Dusko Todorovic in a middleweight bout between developing prospects seeking breakthrough performances.

Zachary Resse has shown flashes of potential with well-rounded skills and improved fight IQ. His wrestling base provides a foundation, while his striking continues developing. Resse’s ability to mix takedowns with striking exchanges keeps opponents guessing.

Dusko Todorovic brings European striking experience and knockout power. The Serbian’s boxing combinations and counter-striking ability make him dangerous in exchanges. His takedown defense has been tested but shows room for improvement against persistent wrestlers.

Preliminary Card Highlights

Flyweight Action: Brazilian Showdown

Jafel Filho squares off against Allan Nascimento in flyweight action, representing a clash between Brazilian fighters with different strengths.

Filho’s grappling-heavy approach contrasts with Nascimento’s more well-rounded skill set. Both fighters represent the depth of Brazil’s flyweight talent pool and will look to make statements with impressive performances.

Women’s Bantamweight: Experience vs. Youth

Ketlen Vieira meets Macy Chiasson in women’s bantamweight competition, pairing a former title challenger against an athletic rising contender.

Vieira’s experience at the highest levels of women’s bantamweight competition provides valuable insight into championship-level preparation. Her technical striking and grappling make her a complete threat at 135 英鎊.

Chiasson’s athletic gifts and improving technique suggest significant upside. Her ability to adapt mid-fight and make necessary adjustments could prove crucial against a veteran like Vieira.

Boxing Weekend Showcase

Saturday Night Boxing: Plant Returns

Caleb Plant faces Jose Armando Resendiz on Saturday, 五月 31, 2025, marking the former super middleweight champion’s return to action. This bout will be broadcast on Amazon Prime from Las Vegas, 內華達.

迦勒廠 represents one of boxing’s most technically sound fighters. The former IBF super middleweight champion’s boxing IQ and defensive awareness make him a difficult puzzle for any opponent. Plant’s jab establishes distance and timing, while his footwork creates angles for counter-opportunities.

Plant’s recent setback against Canelo Alvarez provided a valuable learning experience in making championship-level adjustments. His ability to implement lessons learned from that bout and maintain his technical advantages will be crucial moving forward.

Jose Armando Resendiz enters as a live underdog with legitimate upset potential. His pressure-heavy fighting style and willingness to engage in exchanges could create problems for any fighters who prefers operating at a distance.

Resendiz’s success depends on closing distance, roughing up Plant on the inside, and making the fight ugly. His conditioning and ability to maintain pressure throughout rounds will determine his upset chances.

Jermall Charlo Returns

Jermall Charlo faces Thomas LaManna in what marks the return of one of boxing’s most talented middleweights. Charlo’s extended absence from active competition raises questions about ring rust and timing.

Jermall夏洛茨維爾 possesses elite-level power and boxing ability. His left hook can end fights instantly, while his overall skill set places him among the division’s best talents. The long layoff creates uncertainty about his current form and motivation.

Charlo’s jab sets up power shots effectively, and his ability to fight effectively at range makes him versatile. His return bout selection suggests a careful approach to returning to championship-level activity.

托馬斯·拉曼納 provides a suitable opponent for Charlo’s comeback. His durability and willingness to engage should provide adequate testing without overwhelming risk for the returning champion.

Rising Contender Action

Kyrone Davis meets Yoenli Hernandez in supporting action that could have implications for future title contention in their respective weight classes.

Davis represents American boxing’s developing talent pipeline, with technical skills and improving power. His amateur background provides a solid foundation for professional success.

Hernandez brings international experience and proven durability. His ability to make adjustments mid-fight and capitalize on any opponent’s mistakes makes him a dangerous opponent for any fighter.

Friday Night Boxing

Manuel Gallegos faces Khalil Coe on Friday, 五月 30, 2025, from Guadalajara, 墨西哥, kicking off the weekend’s boxing action. This bout will be available on DAZN.

The international setting provides an excellent atmosphere for competitive boxing. Both fighters enter with points to prove and opportunities to establish themselves in their respective divisions.

Viewing Information and Expectations

UFC Vegas 107 Details

The main card begins at 9 P.M. ET on ESPN/ESPN+, with preliminary action starting at 6 P.M. ET exclusively on ESPN+. The Apex facility provides an intimate setting that often produces exciting fights due to fighters hearing crowd reactions and corner instructions more clearly.

The card’s depth suggests potential for multiple performance bonuses, as UFC events at the Apex frequently reward exciting performances with financial incentives.

Boxing Broadcast Information

The boxing events span multiple platforms and time zones. Saturday’s main boxing card begins at 8:00 PM EST on Amazon Prime, while Friday’s action streams on DAZN.

Analysis and Predictions

UFC Vegas 107 Outlook

The Blanchfield vs. Barber main event represents genuine title eliminator potential in the women’s flyweight division. Both fighters sit near championship contention, making this bout crucial for future title shot considerations.

Blanchfield’s grappling advantages appear significant on paper, but Barber’s athletic gifts and improved fight IQ could create competitive exchanges. The fight likely comes down to Barber’s takedown defense and ability to create damage during stand-up exchanges.

The co-main event between Gamrot and Klein provides excellent stylistic contrast. Gamrot’s wrestling should prove decisive unless Klein can implement a perfect gameplan of distance management and takedown defense.

Boxing Event Analysis

Plant’s return represents significant interest for boxing fans. His technical skills remain elite-level, but questions about motivation and ring timing following the Canelo defeat create intrigue.

Charlo’s comeback carries more uncertainty due to his extended absence. His natural talent suggests success against LaManna, but ring rust and timing issues could create competitive moments.

Herpes Derails Major UFC Light Heavyweight Fight at UFC Vegas 106

由: 豐富的伯杰龍

If just having Herpes isn’t enough of a downer, getting a huge payday rescheduled because of complications from the virus has to be completely demoralizing.

輕重量級 Rodolfo Bellato (pictured at above left) recently had to pull out of a fight at UFC Vegas 106 with UFC Legend Paul Craig. The slashing of the bout from the card came at a very late hour. Announcers had to let the viewing public know about the major change right in the middle of the event.

Oddly enough, it was Bellato himself who explained it was a case of Herpes that caused him to back out of the fight. The UFC broadcast team would only refer to Bellato’s inability to compete as “an unspecified medical issue.” The only thing that might be worse than dealing with Herpes is having to tell everyone in the world you’ve got Herpes.

Most people would be happy to avoid the explanation Bellato gave and just say no comment. 然而, the Brazilian behemoth was up front and honest in explaining why he had to miss a chance to take on Paul Craig in the Octagon.

“I never thought that herpes would take me out of a fight! I’m sorry to all of you guys, but it’s something that’s out of our control,” Bellato wrote in an apology post on social media. “I’ll have more news soon!” In the accompanying video, Bellato displayed a closer look at the “herpes,” which thankfully appeared to be of the cold sore variety.

There are the cold sore only kind of herpes and then there are the dreaded genital herpes.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

“Cold sores spread from person to person by close contact, such as kissing. They’re usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and less commonly herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both of these viruses can affect the mouth or genitals and can be spread by oral sex. The virus can spread even if you don’t see the sores.”

信不信由你, this has actually happened a couple times before with a cold sore derailing a team versus team fight in two recent seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. First it happened on Season 32 (Grasso versus Shevchenko) when Omran Chaaban had his fight with Shamidkhan Magomedov called off due to Chaaban developing a cold sore. During the prior season a cold sore also derailed a Team McGregor versus Team Chandler bout. Timur Valiev and Trevor Wells were the combatants then, and they fought later on in that same season after a cold sore suffered by Wells saw their first opportunity scrapped.

As UFC officials work to reschedule the bout, Bellato will have to address the condition and make sure he treats his outbreak appropriately. It’s definitely one of the weirdest ways to lose a prime fight opportunity in the most premier MMA league on the planet.

On the bright side, both fighters will get a little bit more time to prepare for each other’s unique styles. Fans could see a better fight as a result. Craig will be entering the cage for this bout riding a three-fight losing skid while Bellato’s most recent blemish on his record was a lackluster performance against Jimmy Crute that ended in a draw. It’s a legend versus prospect fight all the way, and both men will be trying to prove that the Octagon is where they belong.

The Weekly Fight News Unlimited Combat Sports Wager Report

由: 豐富的伯杰龍

There’s no PFL MMA this week and nothing in the works for them until June. This week the UFC offers us anotherApexfight card headlined by Gilbert Burns (22-8) versus Michael Morales (17-0) with UFC Fight Night 256. It’s really the only major MMA betting action available this weekend.

Let’s get into the available boxing action before we dive into the best UFC betting opportunities for the week. Our boxing bout of the week is a rematch for the ages.

We go to the Copper Box Arena in London where Johnny Fisher (13-0, 11 科斯) 發生在 David Allen (23-7, 18 科斯) in part two of a British heavyweight boxing odyssey. Their first fight generated serious controversy with many experts convinced Allen won the bout with Fisher winning two scorecards by a single point (95-94) and Allen winning by three points on the third judge’s card (96-93).

Fisher is still a formidable favorite on DraftKings 有 -275 moneyline despite all the doubts about his last performance. It’s not hard to see why the bookies like Fisher. The decision against Allen last time interrupted a 7-fight knockout streak for him. Allen has only been knocked out once, 由一個 4-0 fighter in the 10th round back in 2018.

Allen comes into this fight with a chip on his shoulder and a +210 moneyline. He’s knocked out some very good fighters himself, guys like 盧卡斯·布朗(Lucas Browne) (31-6, 27 科斯). A Knockout bet on Allen would probably seem absurd, but since he’s a fighter who should feel shafted by the judges last time out, it’s an intriguing choice.

一方面, Allen might have honestly been the better fighter last time out. 另一方面, “The Romford BullJohnny Fisher seems more capable of his own knockout to end the night early.

Due to the fact that we know Allen hasn’t been stopped in 7 歲月, this might be a good spot for analternate choice bet.Fisher by Decision once again or Allen by KO/TKO/DQ. We could also have better judges this time and Allen going the distance again. Allen could certainly end up winning his own decision this time around. If you think there’s no doubt he’s the better man, go with the moneyline just in case the KO never comes.

There’s not much juice with a moneyline bet on Fisher, but maybe there is if it’s thrown into a solid parlay.

This fight is featured on DAZN and is one of two boxing matches this weekend with close enough lines to debate about. 查看 oddsjam to find which sportsbook is offering the best odds for this fight.

Our second match is worth some serious discussion as Artur Reis (14-1, 9 科斯) is taking on Mate Rudan (8-0, 7 科斯) in Germany for the IBF European Super Middleweight Title. The Croation Rudan is the underdog with a +140 moneyline on Draft Kings even though he’s finished 7 of his eight total opponents.

Rudan also comes in with a record that is remarkably similar to the one brought into the ring by the only fighter to beat Reis: Osleys Iglesias (現在 13-0, 12 科斯). One the other side of Rudan’s success is the fact that he’s only battled four opponents with winning records. Compare that to the 9 guys with more wins than losses challenged by Reis over the years.

Reis is a -180 moneyline bet on Draft Kings. This will be his second 10-round fight.

Rudan will be going into his first 10-rounder. The only other time Rudan fought in Germany was when he beat a fighter with a ridiculous losing record of 5-52-4.

For Reis, this will be his thirteenth fight in his home country. The Wolfsburg resident might seehometown cookingfactor in his favor if the fight is close. Reis has only knocked out fighters with subpar records so far in their careers, and Rudan is not that kind of slouch. This makes Reis by moneyline or decision the two best bets to drop on this contest.

UFC搏擊之夜 256 Apex Main Card

Michael Morales (-850) 發生在 Gilbert Burns (+575) at Welterweight in the classic grizzled veteran versus new phenom main event of this event. Morales is undefeated, knocking out three of his five UFC opponents since he arrived on the scene through a decision win on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2021.

If you’re afraid of the -800 option of the moneyline bet, take a chance on Morales by TKO for -150 上 Draftkings. Keep in mind this will be the 24th UFC fight for Burns. Can he rely on the experience factor to even the odds? If you like Burns, 該 +575 moneyline is really the only way to go. Burns has a very well-balanced winning record with 6 科斯, 9 意見書, 和 7 decisions.

Even though Burns lost 4 他最後的 6, all four of those fighters he lost to are considered top-level UFC talent. The fighters who beat him in that stretch were Sean Brady, Jack Della Maddalena, Belal Muhammad, and Khamzat Chimaev, who currently claim a combined 74 wins and just 7 損失.

Is Morales at that elite level yet? Is he really in the same category as those killers? The bookies seem to think he is with those astronomical odds. Can he do what Della Maddalena did to Burns? 我不知道, but he’ll have five rounds to try.

Burns is 38 years old and may take a page out of Jose Aldo’s book and retire if he loses this fight. Will he be inspired enough to grind out a win and prove there is a difference between legends and prospects in the UFC? If you think so, 一個 “alternative method of victory double chancebet is in order. Burns by decision or Morales by KO. Draft Kings offers that option at -200 odds.

If you back Burns earning a win by submission you’ll get a windfall payout with that outcome currently sitting at +1400 odds on Draft Kings. Burns last notched a submission against Neil Magny with an arm trial choke in the first round to end their January 21, 2023 bout at UFC 283. Burns has not knocked anyone out in a little over five years of competition.

The co-main event is more of the same with veteran submission artist Paul Craig (17-9-1, 13 意見書) pitted against young upstart Rodolfo Bellato (12-2) at Light Heavyweight.

Suprisingly, two out of Craig’s last three wins have actually come by TKO. You’ll get +700 odds if he knocks out Bellato. Craig is a +400 on the moneyline, so that’s a great return without having to pick a method of victory. If you think he gets back to his submission ways, you’ll get +550 odds for that on Draft Kings.

Bellato is -535 on Draft Kings, even though he only has two official UFC fights compared toThe Bearjewentering the cage for his 20th fight with the promotion. A better bet if you like Bellato is TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at -280 上 Draft Kings.

Losing five of his last six fights should not scare you away from putting a flyer on the Paul Craig moneyline here. He’s been matched with real bruisers and established veterans in all those bouts. Here against an unproven new guy, he’s game to get a win. Bellato has been knocked out twice, both times by fellow UFC Fighter Vitor Petrino.

Mairon Santos (15-1) makes his way to the main card this Saturday in another youth versus experience matchup against Sodiq Yusuf (13-4) at Lightweight. Santos isn’t even a year into his official UFC career while Yusuf is entering his 10th official bout with the promotion.

Santos is also coming off a controversial split decision win against Francis Marshall. Both fighters battled to a close decision with Santos getting the nod in a fight he definitely struggled in. Yusuff lost three of his last five fights, but all of them were against top tier UFC talent.

I personally like Yusuff on the +120 moneyline to test Santos (-142) to his limits. His finishes have all been recorded in the first round during his time in the UFC so far. Santos has his one loss by knockout, so if you’re feeling lucky you could go with Yusuff by Knockout at +550. Yussuff by first round knockout is hovering around +1100 odds with a first round submission posting on Draft Kings 在 +1400. It should be a safe moneyline bet for Yusuff here. I don’t see Santos bringing the same experience and wisdom to the cage that Yusuff brings.

Yusuff might also be worried he won’t stick around the promotion much longer without a big finish against Santos. Yusuff by TKO or Submission is sitting at +400. It’s tempting. This guy’s back is against the cage and the UFC frowns on retaining fighters who lose multiple fights in a row. It’s a time in his career where he has to put on a good show or go home. The UFC has too much talent like Mairon Santos coming through the development and prospect phases. Yusuff is in a tough spot and has to have a phenomenal fight performance to impress the bosses.

Dustin Stoltzfus (16-6) is coming into his Middleweight fight with the dominant Nursulton Ruziboev (35-9-2, 2 No Contests) as a serious underdog with a +240 moneyline price tag.

Ruziboev is a master of stoppages with 33 他 35 wins coming by submission or knockout. Ruziboev by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is -200. It’s a little more economical than his -298 moneyline odds.

Only one seasoned and formidable UFC fighter could stop a 10-fight first-round finishing streak Ruziboev carried into their May 11, 2024 戰鬥. Joaquin Buckley managed to win a unanimous decision against the man from Uzbekistan, so that’s the blueprint to beat him. Can Dustin Stoltzfus figure out how to use the same strategy to avoid being stopped early himself?

Ruziboev doesn’t like to go to a second round if you look at his history. The second round doesn’t typically last very long if his opponent gets there. The under 1.5 rounds option at -125 odds is very attractive for this bout. Stoltzfus has two recent losses in the first round.

What makes a flyer on the Stolzfus side intriguing is that he is also capable of earning a stoppage. 他有 8 UFC fights under his belt and is coming off a first round knockout win over Marc-Andre Barriault in his last fight. This will be Ruziboev’s 5th official UFC fight.

Stoltzfus by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is a fat +400 上 Draft Kings. To prevent Ruziboev from steamrolling over him, Stoltzfus will need to tap into his own submission and knockout skills. It’s hard to imagine this fight going the distance.

Play it safe with the moneyline or bet on the Stoltsfus upset by stoppage if you really believe Ruziboev is over-rated here. If you don’t like either side but doubt the fight will reach the final bell, bet against the fight to go the distance. That gives you -475 odds, so that’s not much juice outside of a parlay.

Ruziboev by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is my personal suggestion here after analyzing the history of both fighters. The under 1.5 line is also one you should seriously consider if you really think Stoltzfus can potentially get a quick stoppage of his own.

Julian Erosa (31-11) is another underdog with potential on this UFC card up against Melquizael Costa (23-7) at Featherweight. Costa won two of his last three fights by submission, but Erosa has never lost by submission in a 42-fight career. A whopping 26 of Erosa’s 31 wins are via stoppage, 使他 +145 odds to win very attractive here.

Both fighters are enjoying three-fight win streaks going into this bout. Costa is the favored fighter here at -175 odds to win on Draft Kings. This is despite the fact that Erosa has much more UFC experience. Erosa finished his last three fights inside the first round with two guillotine choke submission wins (以上 克里斯蒂安·羅德里格斯Ricardo Ramos) and then a TKO victory over Darren Elkins his last time out.

Costa’s last win against the same Christian Rodriguez went the full distance. Common opponent MMA math isn’t always conclusive, but I think it speaks volumes here. My best bet recommendation here is to go with Erosa for the upset on the moneyline. 然而, slightly better odds are available if you choose the statistically viable chance of Erosa winning by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at +275.

If you absolutely believe Costa wins this fight, it’s a no brainer to take him winning by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -150 odds. Both fighters have slick submission skills, but I don’t see Costa submitting Erosa for the first time in his whole career here. 還, Erosa had two straight losses by first-round knockout before embarking on his latest three-fight finish fest. Erosa has seven of his 11 losses by knockout, so he definitely could be susceptible to Costa’s striking here.

I like Costa and think he’s a great scrapper, but I just think Erosa is on too much of a roll with the finishing moves to bet against him here. Call him myDog Lock of the Week.

輕量級 加布里埃爾 “Gifted” 綠色 (11-5) comes into his UFC Fight Night 256 contest with Matheus Camilo (9-2) on a two-fight losing skid in the UFC. It seems to be a theme on this card with the UFC veteran sides of the matchups fighting the younger prospects. Camilo is making his organizational debut against a fighter who’s only been beaten by some of the best in the UFC’s Lightweight division in recent history.

It’s a little surprising to see Camilo as the favored fighter here with -230 odds to win even if you look at the Brazilian’s six-fight win streak in the feeder leagues.

Green is a +190 underdog going into his sixth UFC bout. 他是 2-3 in the UFC so far, but his losses came against Bryan Battle, Ian GarryDaniel Rodriguez. Definitely no cheap dates on that list. 然而, the downside is he’s coming off the shelf after two years of inaction while Camilo just fought last December.

Camilo’s only two losses have come by submission, and Green has 6 of them to account for most of his 11 career wins. 另一方面, Camilo has four knockout wins, and Green has been knocked out in three of his five losses. Sounds like the perfect ingredients for an Alternate Method of Victory Double Chance bet on Green by Submission or Camilo by Knockout at odds of -110. Green by Submission has a +800 price tag while Camilo by TKO/KO/DQ comes in at +140 odds.

All three times Green has been knocked out, it happened in the first round. Bryan Battle dispatched him in just 14 秒. A Camilo TKO/KO/DQ in Round 1 Fight Parlay nets +300 odds. This fight just has too many parameters that could make it go either way. My official recommendation on this one is avoid any bet on this bout. Let’s just find out risk-free if Green gives Camilo a UFC initiation to remember or Camilo storms into the organization with a stunning victory.

The opener of the main card is a Lightweight fight featuring Jared Gordon (20-7) 面對反對 Thiago Moises (19-8). This is setting up to be one of the closest fights on this card with Gordon stealing the favorite status with -125 odds and Moises barely an underdog with +105 odds to win.

This is honestly another fight to skip placing a bet on. The recent roadmap for both of these guys looks the same: lots of ups and downs and no way to tell definitively who has the best chance to win. Both fighters have a ton of UFC experience and anything could happen here. Watch it without a stake on the outcome and enjoy the fireworks.

UFC搏擊之夜 256 Apex Preliminary Card

Yadier Del Valle (8-0) 與 Connor Matthews (7-3) is the featured prelim bout of the night at Featherweight. Will the third time be the charm for Matthews after dropping his first two official UFC fights? It all really depends on just how well the Cuban Del Valle does in his UFC debut.

Del Valle is a -520 favorite after winning his last two fights by decision and earning a UFC contract last October by way of Dana White’s Contender Series. You can cut those odds significantly if you bet on Del Valle to win by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -250 odds. Both of the back-to-back losses Matthews just suffered came by knockout. If you want more juice than that, Del Valle by decision gives you +130 odds. Since Del Valle hasn’t scored a knockout in a while, the moneyline bet or Del Valle by decision seem like the safest options here.

查看 oddsjam to find which sportsbook is offering the best odds for this fight.

Batamweights Luana Santos (8-2) 和 Tainara Lisboa (7-2) square off next in a phenomenal female fight that is a matchmaker’s masterpiece. Despite the wide odds available on this fight, this one could be very close. Both women have only lost to big name fighters. Lisboa (+142 moneyline) is riding a five-fight win streak while Santos (-170 moneyline) is trying to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to the super tough Casey O’Neill.

The only major distinction between these two fierce females is the fact that Santos has been in the UFC a bit longer and finished two of her first three fights in the octagon inside the first round. 然而, four of Lisboa’s seven wins come by way of first round stoppage. If you can’t pick a side, the under 2.5 is looking promising in this bout at +200 odds. 否則, I would suggest Santos on the moneyline based on her superior opposition and her edge in UFC experience.

埃莉斯里德 (8-4) 發生在 Denise Gomes (10-3) in the third fight of the night at Straw-weight. Reed will be entering the cage as a heavy underdog at +455 odds to win on the moneyline.

Gomes seems like a more secure bet to win this bout with her -625 moneyline odds. Get a little help on this one by betting on Gomes to win by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -400 odds to hit.

Flyweights Hyun Sung Park (9-0) 和 卡洛斯·埃爾南德斯 (10-4) set the card’s tone for new to the UFC fighters going up against more seasoned UFC talent. Park has finished every professional opponent but the first one he faced in November of 2018.

Park would be the secondRoad to UFCcontestant to best Hernandez if he wins this fight. Hernandez brings a couple more UFC fights in the experience column to this scrap, but Park is a professional finisher. Two of the last three Hernandez losses came by stoppage. Park also has only made it to the third round just once since his pro debut fight.

The two safest bets for this fight seem to be Park by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at +215, or Park on the -192 moneyline if you think Hernandez can take him the distance. If you like Hernandez to win an upset, he’s never won by knockout. So that leaves Hernandez by Submission or Decision at +150 上 Draft Kings.

The Straw-weight females are at it again in the event opener with American TeciaThe Tiny TornadoPennington (14-7) facing Brazilian Luana Pinheiro (11-4) in a fight where Pennington is a -340 favorite on the moneyline.

Pinheiro lost her last three fights to stall a nine-fight win streak. There’s a reason she’s a +270 underdog, but only two of those nine straight wins for Pinheiro made it out of the first round. She’s definitely capable of a knockout or submission upset here. 另一方面, all seven of Pennington’s losses came by decision.

You may need to parlay the pick here to get better juice from your squeeze, but Pennington on the moneyline is the best option.

New Fight News Unlimited Sponsor ODDSJAM Helps Make Sports Betting More Profitable

由: 豐富的伯杰龍

Fight News Unlimited is on a new quest to recruit sponsors, and we just landed a very important one to bolster our upcoming Weekly Combat Sports Wager Report column. That column will be debuting this coming Thursday, so stay tuned.

Oddsjam is a sophisticated software suite that helps users get the best odds and take advantage of profitable betting strategies. The software combs just about every sportsbook you can think of and can easily be tailored to search only the books in your particular area for the best betting opportunities.

I was recently introduced to the concepts ofarbitrage betting” 和 “middle betting.Both of these strategies specifically target inconsistent odds and varying prop bet offerings on different sportsbooks and sportsbook-adjacent apps like Underdog Fantasy, Prize Picks and Betr.

Oddsjam can literally help you make sure you never lose money on sports betting again. Arbitrage betting and middle betting strategies can’t work without the ability to find and capitalize on the best information out there, 哪 Oddsjam provides. Doing a manual search for the info they provide instantly in real time would take forever.

Keep in mind, you need a bankroll of $2,000 or more to make the best of these two strategies for earning a guaranteed profit. You can also get limited or banned by sportsbooks that are able to detect what you’re doing to generate that profit.

Here’s a great tutorial that shows you exactly how Oddsjam works, how to avoid getting limited or banned for using it, and why it’s worth the monthly or yearly subscription fees:

Oddsjam is truly the best tool available for sports betting. You can also use their software to find which sportsbooks offer the best lines for different events. I have been a dedicated user for about a year now, and I love the ease of use and amazing features they offer.

I am by no means a professional gambler. I needed all the help I could get when I first signed up for Oddsjam. One way I limit my losses is by only betting $5 on each wager and trying to stick to sports I know well. Although most professional gamblers with huge bankrolls advise staying away from parlays, that’s how I capitalize on my $5 personal bet limit. Here are just a few of my biggest wins since I started using Oddsjam:

I do my own research in addition to utilizing software like Oddsjam, and one tip I can offer is to watch fights as much as possible to get to know the fighters you are putting your money on.

I also use Sherdog.com to comb through records of each fighter to see how long they’ve been fighting and where they’ve fought. Chances are if Fighter A has 17 fights in the UFC and is facing Fighter B who is making his UFC debut on a week’s notice, Fighter A is typically the best one to put your money behind.

Sportsbooks also often allow for betting on what I callfeeder leagueslike LFA, which is one of the UFC’s deepest recruiting pools. The favored fighters usually win on those cards, so finding an underdog winner to parlay into a profitable bet can be very challenging.

Dana White’s Contender Seriescan also provide winning opportunities if you are capable of a little deep research. The prospects who appear on these cards might have long winning streaks, but it’s important to find out who their opponents really were. Sometimes you might see an undefeated fighter on there against a journeyman and think the smart bet is the guy with no losses. Look deeper and you could find the undefeated guy fought his whole career against tomato cans with no wins of their own.

Inside information is also crucial. Sometimes that type of intel goes public, like a couple weeks ago when UFC fighter and commentator 邁克爾教會 hyped up Juliana Miller on the pre-fight show for UFC on ESPN 67. Her opponent Ivana Petrovic was a decent favorite, and Miller came into the fight with a record that did not look all that impressive.

Chiesa reported that Miller was looking like a beast in training at the same gym he calls home. Sure enough, Miller won handily as the underdog against a game and formidable opponent. It pays to keep your ears open for these kinds of tips.

Many times in the post-fight interview a winning male fighter will also cite the fact that he is a new father. I call it the Baby Daddy factor. If you know before the fight that a particular fighter is making a new commitment to the sport after the birth of a child, that kind of inspiration can be key.

A death of someone close to a fighter can also have a huge effect on the outcome of a fight. Consider one of the greatest upsets of all time: 詹姆斯 “BusterDouglas beating “鐵的” 邁克·泰森. Buster’s mother tragically died just 23 days before the fight. Douglas promised her before she died that he would beat Tyson. 大家都知道, he kept that promise and shocked the world in the process. Imagine what it must have felt like to have a winning bet on that fight.

Former UFC Fighter and Coach James Krause literally made a living betting on UFC fights with insider information. Most of us among the average betting public don’t have access to that kind of knowledge, 雖然. 所以, instead of banking on hunches, we should take advantage of every useful tool we can find to beat the books.

No matter what sport you like to bet on, Oddsjam is a tool you should have in your toolbox if you need a little help finding success. Take advantage of their free trial and give it a month to work to your ultimate benefit. Your bank account will thank you for it.
