Jan Blachowicz vs. Israel Adesanya

UFC Light Heavyweight Title Bout

Saturday, March 6th, 2021 – 10:05 PM EST live from the UFC Apex Centre in Las Vegas

The Fight

It's been a while since the UFC provided fight fans with a Super Fight, and this weekend the wait is over. The UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will step up in weight class, in an attempt to become a two-division champion.

The newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz has other ideas. Also known as 'Polish Power', Blachowicz became the first male Polish fighter to obtain UFC gold, and he isn't prepared to give up on his legacy just yet.

UFC Parlay Pick

Adesanya holds an extensive background in kickboxing, making his short (7 years) MMA career more prevalent once you're aware of his fighting background. Since his professional MMA debut, Israel has remained undefeated (20-0), and we struggle to envision Jan Blachowicz breaking this trend.

For the complete martial arts skillset that Blachowicz possesses, he remains lightyears behind Israel Adesanya's striking evolution. Perfectly timed counter striking, switching his stance, the range to fight at a distance, and the power to knock you out inside the pocket – his striking accolades and offense are relentless.

Jan Blachowicz is damn good; he isn't the light heavyweight champion through 'luck'. But, we must respect how Adesanya is a master on the feet.

The available UFC odds favor Adesanya, even though he's stepping up for the challenge. These odds reflect his striking offense, nothing more, nothing less.

Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Carlos Ulberg

UFC Light Heavyweight Bout

Saturday, March 6th, 2021 - 09:05 PM EST live from the UFC Apex Centre in Las Vegas

The Fight

Coach George Bareman of City Kickboxing gym, New Zealand, could leave the UFC Apex Centre on Saturday, a very proud man. His starfighter Adesanya has the opportunity to claim his second UFC championship, Kai-Kara France will attempt to raise his flyweight rankings, and a new fact of the UFC light heavyweight division will make his name known.

Carlos Ulberg doesn't have the same star power as his City Kickboxing teammates. But believe me, he's a massive problem for aspiring 205 pounders.

Team-mate and current UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya speaks highly on Ulberg, "I have to deal with him – and I'm the f***ing world champ – and when he gives me problems, he gives me problems. No-one wants to hold pads for him. Your forearms are dead... he's a specimen."

Kennedy Nzechukwu (7-1) will welcome Ulberg in his UFC debut this weekend, another striking-based fighter; we should expect this fight to stay standing and end with one opponent laying down.

UFC Fight Prediction

Ulberg has a small amount of professional MMA experience, with three fights on his record. Still, a lifelong time spent kickboxing leaves him with a considerable advantage in a fight that remains standing.

I expect Nzechukwu to play right into Ulberg's game plan, and the Nigerian likes to strike from the outside, utilize his jab and work his opponents until they can no longer handle his output.

Ulberg has been striking since he was a child, and a chess game of exchanging strikes will put his name on the map, along with his City Kickboxing teammates. Take Ulberg for your parlay picks at the best betting sites.
