Colby covington e Joaquin buckley are the main attraction of the UFC Tampa, the last event of 2024, which takes place this Saturday (14), in the USA. Almost a year without fighting and coming off a defeat to Leon edwards, the former interim welterweight champion (up to 77,1kg.) is unlikely to make a triumphant return if it depends on the bookmakers. According to 'BK8', 'Chaos' should not be able to stop the streak of 'New Mansa', who has five consecutive wins in the organization.

The fight between Covington and Buckley will be a clash of styles inside the octagon. The balanced clash has everything to be one of the highlights of the event and there is a chance that one of the fighters will impose his game to dominate the other for the duration of the fight.

Covington will likely try to go for the grappling early on, utilizing takedowns and ground control to neutralize Buckley's knockout power, who alongside Alex Poatán, is the greatest knockout artist of the present day.

According to 'BK8', with a streak of five consecutive victories, Joaquin buckley is the favorite paying R$ 1,34 against R$ 3,15 of Colby covington, considered the 'zebra' of the confrontation.

Even with a four-game winning streak, Bruno Bulldoguinho appears as an underdog in front of Manel kape. With a record of 17 wins and seven losses, the Portuguese, ranked 9th in the flyweight rankings (up to 56,7 kg), is coming off a setback that ended a four-fight winning streak. The Brazilian, ranked 12th, hopes to win one more and enter the top 10 in the category.

In betting houses, Bruno Bulldoguinho pays R$3,85 against R$1,25 of Manel kape.

For the light heavyweight category (up to 93kg), Victor Petrino face dustin jacoby on the main card of UFC Tampa. The Brazilian is coming off a loss, his first in MMA, which ended a streak of 11 wins. His American opponent is a tough match and, despite coming off two consecutive losses, has 12 wins by knockout, all in the first round. Both are seeking redemption to dream of ranking in one of the most competitive categories in the UFC today.

But the defeat in the last fight for Anthony Smith does not seem to have shaken Brazilian confidence in betting houses. Victor Petrino appears paying R$1,28 against R$3,60 of dustin jacoby.
