Latest betting predictions for Anthony Pettis v Carlos Diego Ferreira fighting in the Lightweight division. Free bettingexpert Mixed martial arts UFC tips from our experts. In addition, Morono’s teammate Diego Ferreira already defeated Pettis earlier this year, so that should give him some great insight ahead of the matchup. I see this fight as closer to a pick’em, and with the UFC roster cuts looming, don’t be surprised if a loss for Pettis on Saturday night ends his tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion. This fight will depend on what Pettis turns up. He has the skills to beat most lightweights on his day but if he does not treat Ferreira the same way as his previous elite opponents, he will be in for a shock. Like Pettis, Ferreira is a phenomenal Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner and also dangerous on the feet. Ferreira averages 0.57 takedowns per 15 minutes, with a 20 percent takedown accuracy rate.

He has a professional MMA record of 19-4-0 and has 5 wins via KO/TKO (26%), 8 submissions (42%), and 6 decisions (32%).

This bout has fight of the night written all over it. I can assure you that this fight won't disappoint. In Dariush’s last bout, he had a spectacular knockout against Holtzman. In 2020, Dariush finished both of his fights via KO. To say the least, Dariush had an impressive year.
