Marlon Vera has absorbed plenty of punishment of late and has stayed upright. While Deiveson Figueiredo may not score a KO, our UFC betting picks still like him to get the job done.
Following a one-sided loss to champion Sean O’Malley, Vera is set for another tough out against former flyweight champion Figueiredo.While Deiveson Figueiredo isn't a hulking juggernaut at 135, he has shown in his fights with Rob Font and Cody Garbrandt that he is perfectly capable of making noise and competing at a high level in his new surroundings.
The problem, though, is that Vera is extremely hittable. While his takedown defense is normally solid, he has been getting dragged to the mat more often than usual in his last five fights.
