UFC 269 Betting Preview: Charles Oliveira vs. Dustin Poirier
Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier are going to fight for the UFC lightweight title this Saturday. Amanda Nunes is defending her 135-pound title against Julianna Peña. Sean O’Malley is going for a title and Cody Garbrandt is moving down a weight class. Kai Kara-France is being promoted to flyweight.
Charles Oliveira makes his first lightweight title defense against Dustin Poirier. Oliveir has won nine straight fights and holds several UFC records. Poier has beaten Khabib Nurmogomedov and Conor McGregor. He is looking to establish himself as the true lightweight champion. He has a proven gas tank and typically uses his ability to go deeper while his opponent breaks down. His strategy is to pepper Olivei with his technical standup and constant pressure. The winner will be the new lightweight champ. UFC 269 takes place at the O2 Arena. It's the main card of the UFC's New Year's Eve event.
Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier are the underdogs in their UFC 269 bout. Nunes defends her title for the first time since 2019. She will fight at 135 for only the sixth time in her career. She has won 12 straight fights. Her last opponent was Germaine de Randamie. Kayla Harrison is a possibility to replace her. The winner will be either Nunes or Poirsier. They will meet in the middle. It's a fight that will go down to the mat. I predict it will end in a submission.
Amanda Nunes is the favorite to win the fight against Valentina. Geoff Neal takes on Santiago Ponzinibbio. Neal was arrested for DUI and unlawfully carrying a weapon during Thanksgiving. The odds are at -200 that the match will end in a TKO. The higher percentage of UFC bouts with a decision is won by the fighter with the better volume control.
Santiago Ponzinnibio is the favorite to beat Cody Garbrandt. Kai Kara-France hasn't been stopped in 30 fights. The fight will show if Garbrandedt can make the transition to flyweight. Ponsonibios is -130.
Sean O'Malley takes on Raulian Paiva. O’Malley won the last fight against Kris Moutinho. Paivia has been finished just twice in his career. The leg strikes and takedowns that O'sMalley has used in the past won't be present in Paiver's style.
Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier are going to fight on Saturday night.
