Israel Adesanya is a Nigerian fighter with New Zealand citizenship, and is 31 years old. Blue belt in jiu-jitsu, he is in MMA since 2009, but also made career in boxing and kickboxing. In addition, Adesanya holds the World Welterweight title in the Ultimate Fighting Championship version. He has 19 fights in his cartel and has won them all. It was 14 by knockout and 5 by jury decision. In April 2019 he won the interim title by beating Kelvin Gastelum by unanimous decision. In October last year, he confirmed his achievement through UFC 243 by knocking out Robert Whittaker. In March of this year, Adesanya defended the belt by defeating Yoel Romero by a unanimous decision of the jury.

Paulo Borrachinha is a 29 year old Brazilian black belt jiu-jitsu fighter. He has been in the MMA since 2012 and like his opponent, he has not been defeated yet. There were 13 disputes, having won all of them. Being 11 by knockout, one by submission and one by points. Until his most recent fight, no other of Borrachinha had reached the end. Thus, in three rounds he defeated Yoel Romero by unanimous decision of the jury in August last year.
Being one of the most expected fights of the last few years, it promises to be a contest to take the breath away. Two undefeated fighters with a lot of quality disputing the Welterweight belt. It is difficult to point a favorite to this fight, but Israel is still a little ahead, after all, the title is already in his hands, he just needs to keep it. This way, Bet365 has a beautiful odd worth @ 1.60 for Israel's triumph.
 
 
Dominick Reyes x Jan Blachowicz - Half-heavy weight
 
Dominick Reyes, the Devastator, is a 30-year-old American fighter. Black belt in jiu-jitsu, he is in the MMA since 2014 and has 13 fights in his cartel. He won 12 of them, being 7 by knockout, 2 for submission and 3 for decision of the judges. His only defeat was by points and was worth the category belt. This happened in UFC 247 and besides being his most recent clash, he lost the belt to none other than Jon Jones, this in February 2020.

Jan Blachowicz is a 37-year-old Polish fighter. Black belt in jiu-jitsu, he is in MMA since 2007 and has an extensive resume of 34 fights. Although he is more experienced, compared to his opponent, his performance is inferior. That's because, out of 34, he won 26. 7 of them were knockout, 9 were submission and 10 were by points. Blachowicz is in a good phase, having won 7 of his last 8 fights. His most recent fight was in February of this year, when he beat Corey Anderson by knockout in the first round.
