UFC betting online: In a matchup between two superb Brazilian jiu-jitsu artists, Jussier da Silva (17-3, 8 SUBs) and Wilson Reis (19-5, 9 SUBs) will square off in a flyweight matchup at UFC Fight Night 67 in Brazil.
The fight takes place on the prelims of a card headlined by former welterweight interim champion Carlos Condit and former title challenger Thiago Alves. For da Silva and Reis, it’s a fantastic opportunity to climb a thin flyweight ladder.
Check Bookmaker’s Reis-Formiga UFC odds for the latest money lines on each fighter, and expect Formiga to be a slight favorite going into the bout. In this three-round affair, the over/under is likely to be set at 2.5 rounds, with the over being the much more expensive proposition.
Formiga is a respected UFC flyweight, with his only octagon losses coming to John Dodson and Joe Benavidez – two of the best in the division. His three UFC wins have come against former title challenger Chris Caraiso and solid vets in Scott Jorgenson and Zach Makovsky. A few more wins could plausibly lead to a title shot in the thin 125-pound class.
Reis is on a two-fight winning streak, beating Joby Sanchez at UFC Fight Night in August 2014 and Scott Jorgenson at UFC 179 in Ocotober 2014. His lone UFC defeat came against Iuri Alcantara in a split decision, but many feel that Reis should have had his hand raised that night. While Reis hasn’t been tested against world-class flyweights yet, a victory over Formiga would give him a stake against a top-10 guy.
If you bet on Reis-Formiga with Bookmaker’s UFC odds, I’d probably put my money on Formiga. This one’s going to be close though, as a chess match on the ground is inevitably looming for the BJJ black belts. But I like Formiga’s experience just a bit more, and I think he’ll be able to grapple his way to a unanimous decision.
