[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6942″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”img-frame-small”][vc_column_text]UFC 248 will be held at the T-Mobile Arena, in the city of Paradise, Nevada with the main fight between Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero, for the title of the middleweights.
Adesanya is the current champion of the vision and has a perfect mark of 18 wins without defeats in what he has been doing in the mixed martial arts career. In his last meeting he defeated Robert Whittaker in Australia to unify the belt he now wears.
On the other side, Romero is an Olympic medalist and a great fighter, which gives him the opportunity to be a contender for the championship. However, he comes from two consecutive losses, the first against Whittaker, where he also did not give the weight and the last against Paulo Costa, at UFC 241 and where they won the prize for the fight of the night.
Now, in a matter of styles, we will have an extremely interesting duel. Both warriors are excellent in the foot fight, but the advantage is the one born in Nigeria because they have longer arms and thus can keep the distance. Thus, he could leave his rival aside and connect combinations without risking too much.
However, Yoel also has a very good fight on the canvas, so to avoid this, the Cuban could try to take down and shorten the distance in the clinch to control his rival and have him where he is most comfortable.
On the other hand, in the betting houses they are very clear about the virtual winner of the fight. Adesanya comes out with the lowest odds, of -190 and a Romero win pays +150. This leaves us with few possibilities in the direct result.
