Jailton Almeida is finally coming back to fight in Brazil again, so this will be a hyped matchup against the former UFC heavyweight champion Derrick Lewis. The Brazilian is unbeaten in his last 14 fights, so this won’t be an easy task for the veteran.
The UFC Fight Night 231 main event was scheduled to be between Jailton Almeida and Curtis Blaydes, but the American fighter had to pull out with an injury, so Derrick Lewis stepped in. The event will be played at the Ginasio do Ibirapuera Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on November 4. This will be a five-round fight in the heavyweight division.
Here are the odds for the winner of the MMA fight between Jailton Almeida and Derrick Lewis:
The latest odds from the best UFC bookies have Almeida as a huge favorite. The Brazilian will be fighting at home, and he has a 19-2 record, so he has been a beast in the UFC heavyweight division. Jailton is on a 14-fight winning streak and is in better fighting conditions right now.
Derrick Lewis is not someone that should be taken lightly, as he is 7-5 straight up as an underdog in the UFC. His overall record is 27-11 due to his poor form lately, as he has lost four of his last six fights.
