Although Maia is a legitimate threat inside the cage, it is Valentina who is leading the odds. However, MMA is a sport where speculations don’t work.

Meanwhile, Cody Garbrandt will register his flyweight debut in the main event as he takes on the 125 lb champion, Deiveson Figueiredo. The flyweight matchup has already created a buzz in the MMA universe.
