Rodolfo Vieira (5-0, UFC debut)
Vieira will be making his UFC debut this Saturday. His last fight was on June 8, 2019 where he defeated Vitaliy Nemchinov by rear-naked choke submission. Vieira has been a pro since 2017 and he has one win by TKO and four by submission. He has four first round finishes.
Vieira said this to esporte.uol.com.br about his upcoming fight against Piechota, “The opponent is more experienced, they did not give me a piece of cake. He has a good ground game, he has competed at ADCC. He is not anyone who fights there, he has to have a good level of grappling. But from the cartel, he proves to be versatile. , since he finished and knocked out five times. But I believe I beat him by submission. And then just wait for the Ultimate to send the next opponent. I realize I'm one of the most inexperienced in the event. So I'm in no hurry to face it.”
Oskar Piechota (11-1-1, 2-1 UFC)
Piechota came into the UFC with a record of 9-0-1 and he has two wins and one loss in the UFC. He defeated Jonathan Wilson by unanimous decision and Tim Williams by KO; while losing to Gerald Meerschaert by technical submission.

UFC Predictions
One thing that you have to pay very close attention to with UFC odds is situations where the oddsmakers favor a fighter who is making his UFC debut. That is the case in this bout, as Vieira is unbeaten in his career and will be making his UFC debut and he is listed as about a 2-1 favorite. Oddsmakers rarely favor a UFC fighter making his debut unless they know he is going to win. In this fight it is really that simple. I will lay the price with Vieira and also play the rounds to go under the total.
