Looking to make some moolah this UFC fight night 198? We might just have the fight and the bet or you. Finally the long awaited debut of Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino against Leslie Smith in the 140lbs division will unfold on UFC fight night.
If you are going to put your money on someone, then it should without a question of a doubt be on the Cyborg. Her track record speaks for itself, of her 16 career fights she was won 13 by technical knockout’s and eight of them have come right in the first round. This goes to show her dominance and sheer confidence.
Cyborg has trained tirelessly under the formidable Rafael Cordeiro to polish her already excellent Muay Thai skills and has mixed it with her natural aggression to become one of the most potent finishers in women’s MMA currently.
In fact, the only criticism of Cyborg is that her competition has not been strong enough, but who are we kidding? That simply is not something we can blame on her.
Sadly, we are afraid the competition might be lacking this time too especially with Lesile Smith being her opponent. Smith does have some wins under her belt, but she is not going to be a match for the Cyborg.
Shogun Rua vs Corey Anderson
The opening of the main card on UFC fight night 198 will come courtesy of Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua and Corey Anderson.
Shogun is the former light heavy weight champion and is a seasoned fighter that we expect will be too much for Anderson to handle right off the bat. Shogun’s forte? His hands and his punches! He is renowned as one of the great power punchers in MMA history and the numbers prove it. 19 of his 23 victories are thanks to technical knock outs.
Furthermore, Shogun will have the advantage of home support since UFC fight night 198 will happen in Brazil.
Anderson on the other hand shows promising potential but lacks in the experience department, this is only his tenth professional MMA fight.
