Here at Bookmaker sportsbook we’re previewing UFC Fight Night 88, which will be held on May 29th, 2016, at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring Thomas Almeida, Cody Garbrandt, Renan Barao and Jeremy Stephens.
A pair of undefeated fighters will face off in the highly-anticipated headliner at UFC Fight Night 88. Thomas Almeida and Cody Garbrandt will go toe-to-toe to cap the action on May 29th, 2016, at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Almeida is listed as the -165 favorite while Garbrandt is the +135 underdog. So while there’s a clear favorite this bout could go either way in MMA wagering.
Thomas Almeida is 20-0 in his career with 16 wins by knockout, three by submission and one by decision. It has been a dominant showing thus far in his career and it will be interesting if garbrandt can give him a good test. Almeida fought on the undercard of McGregor-Mendes on July 11th, 2015, and came away with a second-round knockout victory over Brad Pickett. Last time out, Almeida defeated Anthony Birchak via first-round KO on November 7th, 2015. His opponent doesn’t have as many fights under his belt, but Garbrandt has also been very impressive. He is 8-0 with seven wins by knockout and one by decision. Garbrandt won four of his first five fights by first-round knockout. In his most recent bout on February 21st, 2016, Garbrandt defeated Augusto Mendes by first-round knockout to set up this big-time matchup of undefeateds. Almeida hopes to continue his march up the UFC ladder but Garbrandt can announce himself in a big way with the victory.
Another top fight at UFC Fight Night 88 features Renan Barao against Jeremy Stephens. Barao is 33-3 with 15 wins by submission, 10 by decision and eight by knockout. He had a fantastic start to his MMA career but has dropped two of his past three contests. The first came against T.J. Dillashaw by fifth-round TKO on May 24th, 2014. Barao rebounded by defeating Mitch Gagnon in his next bout, but a rematch against Dillashaw again went the wrong way as Barao fell by fourth-round TKO. Stephens is 24-12 with 16 wins by knockout, five wins by decision and three by submission. He has lost three of four entering this fight. Barao is listed as the -170 favorite to bounce back and defeat Stephens, who comes in as the +140 underdog in MMA wagering.
MMA Quick Picks: Almeida has been great, but Garbrandt is an impressive up-and-comer who just may be able to pull the upset. Take him to do so. Barao should be able to take care of business against Stephens.
