Middleweight strikers take the stage in Bahrain when Shara “Bullet” Magomedov faces off against the always exciting Michel Pereira in the co-main event of Saturday’s card.
Magomedov has emerged as a -400 favorite, and Pereira enters as a +290 underdog in the UFC odds.
Magomedov continues to rebuild after his upset loss to Michael Page, whereas Pereira hopes to put a string of shaky performances behind him with a major upset win in my Magomedov vs. Pererira predictions & free betting picks for Saturday, June 27.
Who will win Shara Magomedov vs Michel Pereira: Magomedov moneyline (-400)
This looks to be an effort by the UFC to get Magomedov back on track by giving him a favorable matchup against a flashy, yet flawed striker. Pereira is showing signs of wear as he enters his 49th MMA bout.
Magomedov must be mindful of Pereira’s BJJ, but his sharper striking and ability to thrive in the fast pace that Pereira sets will make this a one-sided bout.
Shara Magomedov vs Michel Pereira best bet: Magomedov By KO, TKO, or DQ (+120)
Pereira is explosive and chaotic, but he could very well be riding a four-fight losing streak.
Magomedov is the better striker, and his ability to remain composed will allow him to find openings to land critical blows.
Pereira’s best chance to win comes from Magomedov being careless and getting wrapped up in a submission, but I don’t believe the opportunity presents itself. Pereira’s declining form and Magomedov’s popularity will see an already expensive moneyline increase before the first bell.
Take Magomedov by KO/TKO/DQ up to -125.
COVERS INTEL: Pereira has been stopped in two of his last three losses after previously building his reputation on durability and athleticism.Shara Magomedov vs Michel Pereira odds
