Scheduled to face Shara Magomedov in the co-main event of UFC Baku this Saturday afternoon (27) in a duel full of rivalry, Michel Pereira needs to beat the Russian to leave his bad phase behind once and for all. Outside the middleweight rankings (up to 83,9 kg) and coming off a split decision victory against Zach Reese in the last round, the Brazilian knows that a win against one of the most popular names in the category could give him greater opportunities. However, to achieve this feat he will need to go against the odds.
According to Stake , Paraense Voador is a big underdog in the fight. With odds of 3,95, a simple victory for Michel pays almost R$ 400 for a bettor willing to wager R$ 100. Pirata Russo, on the other hand, has much more conservative odds , at 1,26 for every real bet.
