The time has come for SUPER FIGHTS predictions. This week, our team pointed out their favorites for UFC 293, an event that takes place this Saturday (9) and has 12 scheduled clashes. In the main fight, Israel adesanya defends the middleweight belt (up to 83,9kg.) against Sean Strickland.
In his second reign in the under-83,9kg division, Israel adesanya seeks to expand his legacy in the division. After retaking the title against Alex Poatán in April, the Nigerian now measures forces with 'bad boy' Sean Strickland.
In the co-main fight, Tai tuivasa will have the fans behind him for his first challenge of the 2023 season. At the weekend, the Australian will face off against Alexander Volkov.
Also in the second half of the event, Manel kape there will be a real quarry ahead. With a rival selected at the last minute, the Luso-Angolan will be an opponent of Felipe dos Santos, 'Detona', pupil and promise of 'Chute Boxe – Diego Lima'.
The first Brazilian to step into the octagon will be Gabriel Miranda, the 'Fly'. Seeking his first positive result in Ultimate, the fighter faces Shane Young.

Palpites SUPER FIGHTS scoring system
The guesses will be made by the team at SUPER FIGHTS. At the end of the 2023 season, whoever obtains the most points will be the team's 'best bettor'.
The scoring system will be simple. Whoever gets the winner right gets a point. Whoever 'guarantees the way in which the outcome happens, earns three points and, if the bettor 'predicts' the positive result exactly (example: knockout in R1, submission in R3, decision by points), the guesser is awarded with five points.
