In his quest to earn a shot at the UFC middleweight title (up to 83,9 kg), Caio Borralho faces off against hometown favorite Nassourdine Imavov . A victory could see the nerd become the number one ranked fighter in the division, as well as tie Anthony Hernandez for the longest current undefeated streak (8) in the division.
Caio Borralho enters the match with odds of 1,77, meaning a victory returns R$1,77 for every real wagered. On the other side, Nassourdine Imavov has a slight disadvantage, with odds of 2,05.

While Caio Borralho is a slight favorite in the main event , the difference is a bit greater in the co-main event. Maurício Ruffy, the second 'nerd' scheduled for UFC Paris , has odds of 1,55, meaning that every real bet on his victory returns R$ 1,55 to the bettor, while Benoit Saint-Denis appears with 2,48, potentially almost tripling the invested amount if he surprises the Brazilian.

If the Fighting Nerds duo is the favorite in the main card, the same cannot be said about the other Brazilian scheduled for the UFC Paris. Called for the preliminary card of the event, Brendson Ribeiro is considered an underdog against Oumar Sy.
The Brazilian has odds of 4,50, meaning that every real bet on his victory returns R$4,50 to the bettor, while the North American appears with only 1,21.
