Did you forget the UFC’s hosting a show in Brazil today? Granted, there isn’t much hoopla surrounding Wednesday’s scraps, but the Gambling Gods know exactly what will get you interested in the fights.
A pivotal welterweight bout between Jake Shields (pictured) and Demian Maia headlines the gig. Both are hoping a win will inch them closer to a title fight.
Maia is nearly a 3-1 odds-on favorite to hand Shields his first loss in over two years. Shields, meanwhile, checks in as more than a 2-1 underdog.
Don’t forget, it’s an early start in Brazil. So, make sure to get your bets in before 5PM ET/2PM PT.
Jose Correa Arena in Sao Paulo hosts the festivities.
