Gabriel Marretinha will have the chance to jump up the welterweight rankings (up to 77 kg) at UFC Vegas 118 , scheduled for this Saturday (6). The Brazilian faces Belal Muhammad in the main event and, if victorious, could reach the top 5 of the division. For that, the Brasilia native needs to confirm the slight favoritism indicated by the bookmakers against the former champion.

According to Stake , Marretinha is the favorite in the match. A victory for the Brazilian pays 1,88 for every real bet, meaning a R$100 bet would yield R$188 in case of a win. On the other hand, someone investing the same amount on Belal Muhammad would receive R$193 if the former champion wins.

With six wins and only one loss in the UFC octagon, Gabriel Marretinha is enjoying a great run in the welterweight division. The Brazilian has a streak of four consecutive victories and currently occupies the 11th position in the category's ranking.

On the other hand, Belal Muhammad is trying to maintain his position among the top names in the division. The athlete is going through a delicate moment in his career, coming off losses to Jack Della Maddalena and Ian Machado Garry , which increases the pressure for the fight.
