Main Card
Cody Brundage
Cody Brundage (8-2, 2-1 UFC) picked up two straight first-round stoppage wins over Daicha Lungiambula and Tresean Gore after losing his first fight in the UFC against Nick Maximov.

In his submission win over Lungiambula, Brundage used his mat skills to force his opponent to tap out.

After winning against Saparbek Saparov via submission, Vieira suffered his first loss to Anthony Hernandez in two rounds.

Brundage vs Vieira Betting Picks
MMA fight odds see Vieira as the slight favorite in this encounter against Brundage due to his superior skills and experience. The Brazilian MMA fighter will be determined to bounce back from the loss against Curtis and revitalize his campaign in the 185-pound class. Brundage, on the other hand, will seek to stretch his winning streak to three matches and a win against Vieira will be enormous, considering the Brazilian fighter’s achievements in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The American, however, has to defend the Brazilian’s takedown attempts to avoid his submission maneuvers and stand a chance of winning the match.
