MMA Betting Preview for LFA 146: Barbosa Vs Santos

Luana Santos Vs Waleska Sousa

The main card begins with a women’s Flyweight bout that looks pretty evenly matched. Santos saw her unbeaten run come to an end last time out, dropping to 3-1 in the process. It’s a very similar story with Sousa, who was 4-0 before taking a loss in her last bout. Both women will be looking to bounce back, but I am on Santos for the decision win.

Felipe dos Santos Vs Hugo Paiva

We have a Flyweight bout up next and a pair of fighters looking to maintain their perfect records. Dos Santos is 6-0, but just by the skin of his teeth, as he won by split decision last time out. Paiva is 5-0 and has seen 4 of those wins come inside the distance. A good one here, but I have dos Santos by decision.

Carlos Prates Vs Moacir Rocha

Next up is a Welterweight bout, with each of these fighters in very different runs of form. Prates will be coming into this one on a high after winning 4 in a row to get to 14-6. Things have not been so smooth for Rocha of late, as he is 2-2 in his last 4 fights. I like Prates to get the KO win quite comfortably.

Jean Matsumoto vs Inaildo Santos

It’s the Bantamweights heading into the octagon next, with both fighters combining for just 1 loss in their careers. Matsumoto comes in with a perfect 11-0 career mark, with 6 wins inside the distance. Santos won 8 in a row before taking his first loss, although he bounced back to win last time out. I’m taking Matsumoto by decision.

Felipe Douglas Vs Rangel de Sa

The co-main event of the night is a Lightweight bout between a pair of experienced pros. Douglas in an impressive 20-5 in his career and has won 3 in a row, as well as 4 of his last 5 fights. De Sa is sitting at 11-2 overall and is also the winner of 4 of his last 5. I like this one to go the distance, with Douglas getting the nod.

Marcio Barbosa Vs Gabriel Santos

The main event of the night is a Flyweight semi-final bout that has all the makings of a great one. Barbosa comes in with a 13-1 record, bouncing back to win his last 3 after taking his first career loss. There have been no losses for Santos, who sports an impressive 8-0 record thus far. Slight edge to Barbosa here, who I think gets the decision.

I have read enough, I need to place my bet now. What to do?
