Initially, a heavyweight fight was planned as the main event of the evening, in which American Curtis Blaydes and Jailton Almeida were supposed to meet. However, Blaydes withdrew the fight due to the injuries he had suffered during the training camp, and was replaced by the former title challenger in this weight class, American Derrick Lewis.
The Brazilian fighter is the undisputed favourite of the following battle. One can bet on his victory with the odds of 1.2. The success of his opponent is rated much higher – 4.5. I think that the American will be able to hold out for one round.
