It's time to check out the SUPER FIGHTS predictions! This Saturday (26), the UFC returns to Abu Dhabi with a card full of promising names in the organization. In the main fight, Robert whittaker defends his position as fifth in the middleweight ranking (up to 83,9 kg) against the newcomer and on the rise Ridder's Reinier.
Looking to return to winning ways, the former interim champion of the category is seen as the favorite to stop the Dutchman's overwhelming streak, having already defeated three opponents in the octagon, all by quick means.
Brazil in the octagon!
First Brazilian representative to present himself, Marcus Buchecha puts on the Ultimate gloves for the first time and faces the 12th placed heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg.) Martin Buday. A record holder for jiu-jitsu titles, the Brazilian could debut in style if he can defeat his rival in the octagon.
Then, Amanda ribas e Tabatha Ricci they carry out a green and yellow duel and fight to erase the last defeat in the company.
Last to report to the squad, Carlos Leal seeks to get closer and closer to the top 15 of the welterweight division (up to 77,1 kg) and seeks to live up to the great favoritism against muslim salikhov.

Palpites SUPER FIGHTS scoring system
The guesses will be made by the team at SUPER FIGHTS. At the end of the 2025 season, whoever gets the most points will be the team's 'best bettor'. The scoring system will be simple. Whoever predicts the winner gets one point. Whoever predicts the outcome will get three points, and if the bettor 'guesses' the positive result exactly (e.g.: knockout in R1, submission in R3, decision by points), the bettor will be awarded five points.
