The UFC<\/strong> heads to Brazil this weekend where TUF Brazil will crown its champions and Ronda Rousey will attempt to continue her reign of terror. The Noguiera boys make an appearance as well! It should be an interesting night in Rio as veterans try to remain relevant and prospects try to make a name for themselves.<\/p>\n So what can we expect from this full fight card? Let\u2019s take a look. <\/p>\n UFC 190: Rousey vs. Correia<\/strong> Main Card (PPV, 10 PM ET)<\/strong><\/p>\n The most dominant athlete on the planet will try to make it 12 straight wins in a battle of undefeated fighters Saturday. Rousey\u2019s success is no fluke and it is no secret \u2013 she has absolutely demolished all comers culminating in a 14-second stoppage last time out against Cat Zigano.<\/p>\n We could talk about the Tale of the Tape all we want in this fight but the result will be the same \u2013 nobody is touching Ronda Rousey right now \u2013 nobody. The only question is whether or not this fight gets beyond the first minute! The payday won\u2019t be great but it\u2019s a payday nonetheless \u2013 don\u2019t be reckless here!<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Ronda Rousey -1400<\/p>\n Pride veterans take to the Octagon in what may be the best bout on the card \u2013 I can\u2019t wait! Both men have something to prove – Rua is coming off consecutive knockout losses, while Nogueira is coming off a knockout loss to Anthony Johnson. Simply put neither man has anything to lose.<\/p>\n Both men will come in swinging \u2013 striking is their game. That said it is pretty hard to back the favorite Rua in this one largely due to his questionable chin. It\u2019s true that L\u2019il Nog was KO\u2019d in his last fight but that came against Rumble Johnson \u2013 no shame in that.<\/p>\n My guess is that Rua\u2019s chin is the determining factor once again this week and that Nogueira rides the rabid crowd to the TKO win. Rua\u2019s days with the UFC are numbered for sure!<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira +180<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=1436&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The Lightweight Final for TUF Brazil features two very equally matched fighters that have certainly paid their MMA dues already. The TUF fights are always tough to call but Franca is my call due to the fact that he\u2019s nine years younger and will have a rather large size and reach advantage in this fight.<\/p>\n Either man could win this bout but youth and size get the nod for me.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Glaico Franca -160<\/p>\n The Bantamweight TUF Brazil Final seems a bit easier to call \u2013 Dileno Lopes has faced and beaten the tougher competition so far in his career and will have a small size advantage over his opponent. Vieira has looked good on the show but has yet to face anything like he is about to face with Lopes.<\/p>\n This fight has late submission written all over it!<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Dileno Lopes -300<\/p>\n An intriguing Heavyweight battle between Stefan Struve and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has all the makings of a very good bout \u2013 each man will be a little desperate to win and to keep their job in the UFC \u2013 Nog may be fighting for the last time period as retirement talk is certainly prevalent.<\/p>\n Hopes are that the 7\u20190\u201d Struve has improved his horrendous striking defense \u2013 nobody gets knocked out like Stefan! The good news is that Noguiera will have to lean on his grappling game to have a chance in this one \u2013 he is a pioneer of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a legend in the sport.<\/p>\n That said I think Struve is wary of the grappling of his opponent and is able to keep Nog at a distance, outpointing him en route to a snoozer of a decision victory. Struve\u2019s goal is to keep Noguiera on the outside \u2013 I think he accomplishes that goal Saturday in front of a rabid Noguiera crowd.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Stefan Struve -160<\/p>\n Heavyweights do battle when Antonio Silva tries to snap a two fight losing streak against a very tough Soa Palelei. Simply put Silva hasn\u2019t been the same since his ban from performance-enhancing drugs \u2013 any advantage he gained because of the drugs is all but gone. Palelei, although not a great fighter is certainly better than Silva at this point of his career.<\/p>\n The downward slide of a post-steroid Antonio Silva continues Saturday \u2013 it\u2019s a shame!<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Soa Palelei -172<\/p>\n A pretty good fight in the Women\u2019s Strawweight Division kicks off the pay-per-view when Claudia Gadelha and Jessica Aguillar throw down for a possible Title Shot. Aguillar rides a 10 fight win streak into the contest but must contend with arguably the most well-rounded fighter in the division.<\/p>\n This fight will likely go to the judge\u2019s score card with the better striker outpointing the other. That distinction belongs to Gadelha who squeaks out a win and continues on her path towards UFC gold.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Claudia Gadelha -450<\/p>\n Preliminary Card (FS1, 8 PM ET)<\/strong><\/p>\n Demian Maia (20-6): -160 vs. Neil Magny (15-3): +140 Rafael \u201cFeijao\u201d Cavalcante (12-5, 1 NC): +140 vs. Patrick Cummins (7-2): -160 Warlley Alves (8-0): -225 vs. Nordine Taleb (11-2): +175 Iuri Alcantara (32-6, 1 NC): -250 vs. Leandro Issa (13-4): +200 Preliminary Card (Fight Pass, 7 PM ET)<\/strong><\/p>\n
