UFC Fight Night: Amanda Lemos vs. Jessica Andrade
Why Bet on Amanda Lemos
Amanda Lemos is ranked no. 10 and is on 5 fight win streak.
Lemos on the other hand has been on a decent run after serving the 2-year ban imposed on her by USADA in 2017.
The 34-year-old is coming off a decision win over Angela Hill.
However, she has not fought any of the top fighters in the division unlike her opponent this Saturday.
Why Bet on Jessica Andrade
Jessica Andrade has previously held the 115lbs title before as she defeated Rose Namajunas previously at UFC 237.
But since then she lost the belt to Zhang Weili and also lost the rematch to Rose the second time around.
She moved up in weight and beat Katlyn Chookagian to earn a crack at the Flyweight title but she was defeated by 125lbs champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 261.
Andrade came back to Strawweight once again and beat Cynthia Calvillo.
Final Betting Analysis: Amanda Lemos vs. Jessica Andrade
Although Lemos is a good striker with the reach advantage, Andrade is much more dynamic in every aspect of the game.
The fans can expect an exciting brawl early in the fight.
Lemos will try her best to get a TKO victory against Andrade similar to Zhang Weili.
However, if the fight goes past 2 rounds, the former champ will have the upper hand, and our token is placed on that.
UFC Fight Night: Clay Guida vs. Claudio Puelles
Why Bet on Clay Guida
Guida, at this point of his career, is used as a tough test to see if a prospect has the potential to climb the very deep lightweight division.
Guida is the definition of a tough and grizzled veteran of the sport.
His unrelenting style of combining cardio with his wrestling to put on a pace that many struggles with makes him an extremely difficult fight for anyone lacking strong grappling and cardio.
Albeit he is nothing to write home about on the feet, particularly with defending strikes, he does do a good job cutting down distance and fighting at a range – and pace – that best suits him.
Why Bet on Claudio Puelles
Puelles is an improving fighter who has shown better fight over fight. This improvement is pivotal, as he initially came into the UFC as a sole submission artist, with little to no offensive grappling nor significant success on the feet.
But, in his recent fight against UFC veteran, Chris Gruetzemacher, Puelles looked to be comfortable striking, primarily by throwing the damaging body and head kicks from the southpaw stance.
Final Betting Analysis: Clay Guida vs. Claudio Puelles
Puelles, a prospect through and through, will look to overcome the wrestling and weaponization of cardio by his opponent to showcase he has the skills necessary to be a problem for anyone that faces him.
Ultimately, Puelles does have the submission game to pose a threat to Guida albeit playing guard may prove to be his demise.
Perhaps more importantly, I believe Puelles has the skills necessary to keep the fight standing and inflict severe damage when on the feet.
UFC Fight Night: Alexandr Romanov vs. Chase Sherman
Why Bet on Alexandr Romanov
Alexander “King Kong” Romanov is 31 and has a perfect 15-0 professional record.
Six of his wins have come by knockout, eight by submission, and sole win by decision.
In the UFC, the surging heavyweight is 4-0 with four stoppage victories.
Why Bet on Chase Sherman
Chase “The Vanilla Gorilla” Sherman was recently cut from the UFC but is returning to step in, on less than a week’s notice, for this fight.
Professionally, he is 15-9 with 14 knockout wins and 4 knockout losses.
Final Betting Analysis: Alexandr Romanov vs. Chase Sherman
King Kong is the biggest favorite in the whole fight night, and it is not questioned.
He should be able to keep his undefeated record going forward and score his fifth victory in the promotion.
UFC Fight Night: Maycee Barber vs. Montana de la Rosa
Why Bet on Maycee Barber
Barber is still figuring out her overall mixed martial arts (MMA) game. She has great physical gifts — few women can land as hard in the clinch or from a top position — but she has yet to find a way to consistently apply that talent.
Fortunately, at 23 years of age, there’s still time for everything to click into place for the prospect.
Why Bet on Montana de la Rosa
De La Rosa’s game plan is more straightforward. She’s a wrestler with good jiu-jitsu and developing stand-up.
Generally, however, she tends to live and die based on whether or not the takedown lands.
Final Betting Analysis: Maycee Barber vs. Montana de la Rosa
So, the match-up itself is clear enough.
De La Rosa will try to wrestle, and Barber will either sprawl-and-brawl or look to gain top position and drop bombs.
Either way, it’s a fight that comes down to Barber’s takedown defense.
She quickly dealt with a similar foe in Gillian Robertson, and her ability to drop the hurt tends to surprise and discourage opponents.
If De La Rosa goes for a takedown, fails, and eats a huge knee, she may just accept the kickboxing match from that point forward, and it will favor Barber.
UFC Fight Night: Mudaerji Su vs. Manel Kape
Why Bet on Mudaerji Su
Mudaerji, a Sanda striker from Tibet entered the UFC with a 13-3 record.
Although falling short in his debut, having been matched up with Louis Smolka, Mudaerji took little time there afterward in cementing himself as one of the most dynamic and elusive strikers at 125 pounds.
Why Bet on Manel Kape
Cape, a former RIZIN FF champion is also one of the most dynamic fighters to enter the division in recent years, and with two back to back knockouts coming as of late, he could be on track to being one of, if not the most exciting fighter moving through the flyweight ranks.
Fighting out of Thailand, but Angolan by birth, Kape by 28 has already compiled an impressive resume.
Final Betting Analysis: Mudaerji Su vs. Manel Kape
This is a very fascinating fight, however, the big factor will be range.
When Kape is on and comfortable, his ability to let his hands go and show off his wicked speed and flow is beautiful to watch.
However, if anyone can make a fight frustrating and not allow Kape to get to that stage of comfort in the fight, it’s Mudaerji who is one of the most elusive fighters in the UFC today.
UFC Fight Night: Charles Jourdain vs. Lando Vannata
Why Bet on Charles Jourdain
Jourdain fits a similar mold.
He’s a technical enough kickboxer with considerable power, and he fights even better when he lets everything hang and gets after his opponent.
Jourdain is fearless … and he can push a nasty pace.
Why Bet on Lando Vannata
Vannata has yet to win consistently inside the Octagon, but he’s one of the most entertaining fighters on the roster all the same.
“Groovy” is a tricky kickboxer who cannot help but be suckered into a brawl — the prospect of scoring a knockout is simply too good to resist.
This will be his second bout at 145 pounds.
Final Betting Analysis: Charles Jourdain vs. Lando Vannata
There’s every chance someone goes to sleep early.
Jourdain gets aggressive fast, and Vannata is exceptionally sharp with his right hand early on.
At the same time, Vannata has never been that hard to hit, and Jourdain typically wins via knockout himself.
Quite simply, the exchanges are going to be violent.
