UFC Fight Night Fortaleza, Brazil May Produce Mixed Results

Brazilians seem to be the main entrants at UFC Fight Night in Fortaleza, Brazil on Saturday night. And that’s not surprising given the impetus to draw big home crowds. However, odds-makers believe it is going to be a mixed night for the locals.
Vitor Belfort vs. Kelvin Gastelum
The main event features former light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort versus Kelvin Gastelum, which everyone hopes will be a cracker of a fight. Bookies believe that Belfort (+353) could go down to Gastelum (-425). However, the crowds may cheer up in the co-main event where Mauricio Rua (-135) may get the better of Gian Villante (+124).Belfort’s odds continue to grow to over +300 from an initial +235 as money continues to pour in on Kelvin Gastelum who had a great fight at UFC 206 versus Tim Kennedy.
Kevin Lee vs. Francisco Trinaldo
It is important to note that the former TUF Brazilian veteran Francisco Trinaldo has 7 wins to his credit since September 2014, which is one of the longest winning streaks. His last outing in September last year resulted in a resounding victory over Paul Felder. One the other hand Lee pulled off a good fight against Magomed Mustafaev last November at UFC Belfast. Currently, punters seem to be in favor of Lee who is now a -175 favorite and don’t seem to take into account Trinaldo’s winning streak.
