UFC Fight Night: Gastelum vs Imavov is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on January 15 at the popular UFC Apex Arena which will host lightweights, Venezuelan Omar Morales and Polish Mateusz Rebecki. Who will prove preferable in this showdown? The fight is planned for 01:00 UK time.
Bookmakers expect Omar Morales for 3.96 and Mateusz for 1.28, and they expected such odds for a good reason as Mateusz’s last loss in 2014 and he is also much younger (7 years). What I can say in Morales’ defence, we’ve seen him with more serious opposition than Rebecki. Still, I’m leaning towards the Pole’s victory, I suggest betting half a flop on him.
Omar ‘’Venezuelan Fighter’’ Morales is a 37-year-old fighter from Venezuela, with a record of 11-3 (5 wins by technical knockout, 4 wins by decision and 2 KO/TKO). He fought in local promotions, winning Bellator League by knockout in 1 minute after the fight started, then he was invited to Dana White’s Contender Series, where he beat Harvey ‘’Fightbot’’ Park (former LFA champion) by technical knockout in the 2nd round. In his 6 fights in the World Heavyweight division, he defeated South Korea’s Dong Hyun ‘’The Maestro’’ Ma, Gabriel ‘’Moggly’’ Benitez and Shane ‘’Sugar’’ Young by unanimous decision. Defeats to prospect Giga ‘’Ninja’’ Chikadze (by a split decision), Jonathan ‘’JSP’’ Pearce (by pinfall in round two) and Uros ‘’The Doctor’’ Medich (by technical knockout in the second round). Ranked the 88th lightweight in the world by tapology.
Mateusz “Chinczyk” Rebecki is a 30-year-old Polish fighter, with a record of 16-1 (14 wins by submission). He has a WBC background. He used to fight in the Polish promotion FEN, where he became the champion. After that, he made it to Dana White’s Contender Series, where he stopped Brazilian prospect Rodrigo ‘’The Dynamis’’ Lidio in the 1st round with a 12-2 record (all wins early). Virtually all of his wins come in the 1st round, whether they be by knockout or by a takedown. He is ranked number one of Poland’s lightweights by tapology.
