Holm Vs Vieira

Holly Holm vs Ketlen Vieira – Women’s Bantamweight Division

Holly Holm TALE OF THE TAPE Ketlen Vieira
40 Age 30
5 ft. 8 in. Height 5 ft. 8 in.
70 in. Reach 68 in.
14-5 Record 12-2

Despite being ten-years older than her opponent, former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm is the -260 favorite to defeat Ketlen Vieira.

Holm is currently on a two-fight winning streak. Her last win, however, was almost two-years ago – a defeat of Irene Aldana via unanimous decision in October 2020.

Ketlen Vieira, however, is coming off of a win over the woman who took Holm’s bantamweight title back in 2016: Miesha Tate. Vieira defeated Tate via unanimous decision last November.  She is 2-2 over her last four-fights.

These women stand at equal height but the boxer Holm will have a two-inch reach advantage. However Vieira holds black belts in both judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

We like the +205 dog here.

Santiago Ponzinibbio vs Michel Pereira Welterweight Division

Santiago Ponzinibbio TALE OF THE TAPE Michel Pereira
35 Age 28
6 ft. Height 6 ft. 1 in.
73 in. Reach 73 in.
28-5 Record 27-11, 2 no-contests

After two-years away from the sport, Santiago Ponzinibbio made his return to the octagon in 2021 and has since gone just 1-2.

He most recently fought Geoff Neal last December and lost the bout via split-decision.

Prior to his layoff, Ponzinibbio was ranked within the top-five of the welterweight division. He is now ranked at number 14.

Michel Pereira is currently riding a four-fight winning streak – most recently defeating Andre Fialho via unanimous decision this past January at UFC 270.

While both men stand at equal height, the creative striker Pereira will have a slight, one-inch reach advantage over Ponzinibbio.

Both men hold black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Pereira also holds a black belt in karate and is the -128 favorite.

Dusko Todorovic vs Chidi Njokuani – Middleweight Division

Dusko Todorovic TALE OF THE TAPE Chidi Njokuani
27 Age 33
6 ft. 1 in. Height 6 ft. 3 in.
74 in. Reach 80 in.
11-2 Record 21-7

Appearing on the Contender Series in 2021 and earning a third-round TKO win, Chidi Njokuani made his UFC debut this past February and did not disappoint – defeating Marc-Andre Barriault in just 16-seconds via TKO.

His opponent, Dusko Todorovic, is also coming off of a win – a first-round TKO over Maki Pitolo last December. The win snapped a two-fight losing streak.

Todorovic is the younger fighter but Njokuani will stand two-inches taller and have a whopping six-inch reach advantage.

At -250, Njokuani is the second-biggest betting favorite on the main card.

Eryk Anders vs Park Jun-Yong Middleweight Division

Eryk Anders TALE OF THE TAPE Park Jun-Yong
35 Age 31
6 ft. 1 in. Height 6 ft.
75 in. Reach 73 in.
14-6-1, 1 no-contest Record 13-5

Both Eryk Anders and Park Jun-Yong are coming off of losses and hope to get back into the win column Saturday night.

Anders is 1-2 with one no-contest over his last four fights and most recently lost via submission to Andre Muniz last December.

Jun-Yong has gone 3-2 in the UFC and recently had a three-fight winning streak snapped by Gregory Rodriguez last October in what was deemed the fight of the night.

Despite Anders having the slight height and reach advantages, he will enter the contest as a +172 underdog.

Polyana Viana vs Tabatha Ricci Women’s Strawweight Division

Polyana Viana TALE OF THE TAPE Tabatha Ricci
29 Age 27
5 ft. 7 in. Height 5 ft. 1 in.
67 in. Reach 62 in.
12-4 Record 6-1

A brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Polyana Viana looks to win her third fight in a row this Saturday. She has won her last two fights via first-round armbar submission. Eight of her 12 professional wins have come via submission.

Tabatha Ricci is just 1-1 in the UFC but is coming off of a unanimous decision win over Maria Oliveira last October. She trains with Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Viana will have a significant six-inch height advantage as well as a five-inch advantage in reach. She is listed as a -134.
