UFC Charlotte | Main Card Preview

Saturday, May 13th (3:00 PM EST Main Card, 11:30 AM EST Prelims)

Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Jailton Almeida

WATCH - At the young age of 31, Almeida is the baby of the Heavyweight division. But he’s certainly making a name for himself storming through the lower tier opponents. It will be up to the streaky but powerful Rozenstruik to either gatekeep Almeida with a sledgehammer to the dome or rest on his heels and allow Almeida to continue his undefeated in the UFC run to the top.

Anthony Smith vs. Johnny Walker

WATCH - There comes a point in time when a fighter is ready to crack. Grinding and working on his craft day in and out facing killer after killer after killer. All just to barely stay afloat in the rankings. It eats at them until they have no drive left to give. This is the fight to take back what has been stripped from them. To reinsert that passion and energy back into the game. It’s all on the line this weekend as these two long-timed ranked light heavyweight opponents attempt to prove they really do deserve a second (or fifth) chance at building up a hype train.

MMAalgo Bet - Johnny Walker 3u @ -110 (better than -181.6)

Daniel Rodriguez vs. Ian Garry

WATCH - He may not be Conor McGregor, but Ian Garry doesn’t need to be. Being undefeated and game enough to face a tough upper echelon journeyman like D-Rod proves that he belongs and deserves some recognition.

Carlos Ulberg vs. Ihor Potieria

WATCH - Ulberg bounced back hard after his debut loss. Time will tell if the legendary City Kickboxing has more championship level guys in store than just Izzy and Volkanovski.

MMAalgo Bet - Ihor Potieria 3u @ +330 (better than -114.6)

Tim Means vs. Alex Morono

WATCH - Morono is fun but at the end of the day he’s a tool for the UFC to benchmark veterans before re-signing them or cutting them lose. Guess it’s Tim Means’ turn to figure out if he still belongs.
