It was promised to supporters by UFC President Dana White that a pay-per-view promotion wouldn\u2019t be hosted until full capacity was permitted. That promise was held by White, as Southerners near Florida will travel to Jacksonville on April 24th to witness <strong>Kamaru Usman &amp; Jorge Masvidal<\/strong> fight. <\/p>\n<p>For supporters of Jorge Masvidal, this secondary matchup won\u2019t end positively. Analysts anticipate that Usman will overcome UFCs &#8220;<em>Baddest Mother Fucker<\/em>&#8220;, as he did in March 2020. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been two years since Masvidal was last competitive and he\u2019s a fighter that\u2019s never achieved championship status. Subsequently, his defeat is inevitable at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vystarveteransarena.com\/\"> Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena<\/a> on April 24th, but that doesn\u2019t mean thousands won\u2019t be cheering his name in the stands, as tickets for UFC 261 sold out in two minutes, not exclusively because entertainment has been scarce during the pandemic, but  because three championship-belt fights are being hosted. <\/p>\n<p>The main event will witness Jorge Masvidal return to the octagon against Kamaru Usman, where results could beat analyst expectations. That\u2019s because Masvidal has had thirteen months to train in his latest weight division, which wasn\u2019t the case when first meeting Usman at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazn.com\/en-CA\/news\/mma\/ufc-251-usman-vs-masvidal-fight-island-results-live-updates-highlights-full-card\/16p3thlge05d018iil3yxb3due\">UFC 251<\/a>. The Ultimate Fighting Championship gave Masvidal five days to prepare against Kamaru, which meant cutting twenty pounds of water weight &amp; without that physical limitation imposing on Jorge\u2019s skillsets, Usman could find himself losing the Welterweight Championship.  <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"best-online-sportsbooks-to-bet-on-ufc-261\">Best Online Sportsbooks To Bet On UFC 261<\/h2>\n<div

division and will mark the return of <strong>Valentina Shevchenko<\/strong>. This is a highly anticipated fight because her competitor is <strong>Jessica Andrade<\/strong>, a woman that defeated Katlyn Chookagian in October 2020, and will be interesting to see what combative strategies both have learned with their 6+ months of recent training. <\/p>\n<p>The lesser championship belt matchup that&#8217;s gaining attention is the <strong>Weili Zhang vs Rose Namajunas<\/strong> fight, which will see the <em>Strawweight Championship<\/em> likely awarded to Namajunas. Since this division hasn\u2019t become popular with a large percentage of UFC Supporters, President Dana White is highlighting this matchup as the co-main promotion. Funnily enough, it\u2019s a preliminary fight with Uriah Hall that\u2019s gaining interest amongst supporters, as fans have clamoured for the return of Uriah Hall, a potential champion for years. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve highlighted the predictions, odds, and insights regarding UFC 261s highest-rated matches. For bettors anticipating what\u2019s supported to become a memorable event, our analysis will assist in obtaining large payouts. <\/p>\n<p><strong>UFC &#8211; Ultimate Fighting Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZpoI4YIlDHI?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ufc261-fight-analysis\">UFC261 Fight Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>Odds have been provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/reviews\/bodog\">Bodog<\/a> and are accurate as of 16\/04\/2021<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"kamaru-usman-vs-jorge-masvidal\">Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Odds to win:<\/strong> Kamaru Usman <em>-400<\/em> \/ Jorge Masvidal <em>+300<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been ten months since supporters last witnessed the persona of Jorge Masvidal, a fighter that\u2019s regularly been compared to Conor McGregor. His last matchup was against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USMAN84kg\">Kamaru Usman<\/a> in the welterweight division, which is a division that Masvidal hadn\u2019t ever competed in previously. <\/p>\n<p>This resulted in an uncompetitive result from Jorge, leaving fans disappointed at the possible outcomes that were missed. The outcries of supporters were heard by UFC President Dana White, who rescheduled both men for another fight ten months after their initial bout. That timeframe has provided Masvidal with the training needed to successfully transfer into the welterweight division, meaning Usman\u2019s challenge will be significantly greater than at UFC 251. <\/p>\n<p>Analysts are predicting that Jorge Masvidal will become the Welterweight Champion by April 24th, as Kamaru Usman has shown minor inconsistencies since February 2021. That\u2019s when Gilbert Burns grappled Usman to near submission but would eventually be overcome by strikes from the ground. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be difficult for Usman to perform a similar strategy against Masvidal, a younger &amp; faster fighter with improved stamina that also prefers MMA combat over wrestling. This doesn\u2019t mean Kamaru Usman would land multiple takedowns onto Jorge Masvidal, making UFC 261 likely the hardest matchup both men will have experienced to date. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Prediction:<\/strong> Jorge Masvidal Wins Second Fight Against Kamaru Usman. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been two years since UFC supporters witnessed the dominating and intimidating skillsets of Jorge Masvidal, which is aeons in professional mixed martial arts. However, most are forgetting that various circumstances that befell Masvidal since acquiring the \u201c<em>UFC BMF Award<\/em>\u201d. It\u2019s likely that by training over ten months, the combative strategies needed to overcome Kamaru Usman have been attained by Jorge Masvidal. We\u2019re anticipating that over five rounds neither will be knocked down but that points will favour Masvidal over Usman.   <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"valentina-shevchenko-vs-jessica-andrade\">Valentina Shevchenko vs Jessica Andrade <\/h3>\n<p><strong>Odds to Win:<\/strong> Valentina Shevchenko <em>-400<\/em> \/ Jessica Andrade <em>+300<\/em><\/p>\n<p>UFC President Dana White is working towards altering the champions lineup, as Kamaru Usman isn\u2019t the exclusive fighter that\u2019s been matched against a worthy opponent. A similar tactic has been imposed on Valentina Shevchenko, who\u2019ll defend her Flyweight Championship against Jessica Andrade. The overwhelming number of competitors that\u2019ve been matched to Shevchenko isn\u2019t of champion-winning status, which changes for the first time in two years with Andrade. <\/p>\n<p>Jessica Andrade is considered an aggressive fighter that pushes her opponents, with <strong>an average SPM (Strikes-Per-Minute) of 6.38 and can perform three takedowns per fifteen minutes<\/strong>. It\u2019s an impressive ratio that\u2019ll put Valentina Shevchenko into a difficult position and unless a flurry of punches knockdown Andrade, it\u2019s likely the <em>Flyweight Championship<\/em> will be lost to Shevchenko. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"zhang-wheili-vs-jessica-andrade\">Zhang Wheili vs Jessica Andrade <\/h3>\n<p><strong>Odds to Win:<\/strong> Zhang Wheili <em>-190<\/em> \/ Rose Namajunas <em>+155<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The combative meeting of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Weili-Zhang-186663\">Zhang Wheili<\/a> and Rose Namajunas hasn\u2019t gained prominent attention from sportsbooks or analysts. Both fights are relative unknowns in the \u201c<em>Ultimate Fighting Championships Strawweight Division<\/em>\u201d. For Zhang Wheili, she\u2019ll be defending her championship-belt from Rose Namajunas after these women rose through the ranks via preliminary fights. <\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it\u2019s anticipated this fight will be a wildcard that\u2019ll see either of these women standing victorious. Zhang Wheili has a longer-standing history in Mixed Martial Arts and posses strong striking capabilities. However, Wheili is formally trained exclusively in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Rose Namajunas is trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, and Karate. It\u2019ll mean her available assets will be greater than her upcoming opponent, who is three years older than Namajunas. Subsequently, realistic outcomes favour Rose Namajunas more than Zhang Wheili.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thirteen months have passed since the Ultimate Fighting Championship hosted a full attendance of audience members.
