It's time for SUPER FIGHTS predictions! This Saturday (2), the Ultimate lands in Australia for an event at a different time in Perth. Starting at 5 am, 26 athletes will perform in the world's most famous octagon in fights that promise to excite the local public. In the main fight, Carlos Prates tries to add the name of another former champion to his victorious record when he duels with Jack Della Maddalena in a fight valid for the welterweight category (up to 77,1 kg).

Besides Prates in the last fight of the night, Kevin Christian is the only Brazilian representative this Saturday. The Amazonian fighter faces Junior Tafa in the penultimate preliminary fight, in a duel valid for the light heavyweight category (up to 93 kg). With only one fight in the company controlled by Dana White, he is still looking for his first victory in the world's largest MMA organization. Tafa, the hometown favorite, is one of the most popular names on the card, so a victory would greatly help the public's perception of the Brazilian.

Palpites SUPER FIGHTS scoring system
Predictions will be made by the SUPER LUTAS team . At the end of the 2026 season, whoever obtains the most points will be the team's 'best bettor'. The scoring system will be simple. Whoever correctly predicts the winner gets one point. Whoever correctly predicts how the fight will end earns three points, and if the bettor accurately predicts the positive result (example: knockout in R1, submission in R3, decision by points), the bettor wins five points.
