Fialho will be making his UFC debut. He enters on a three-bout win streak, including four straight KO/TKO victories at ADW: UAE Warriors 20, 22 and 24. He posted a 4-1 record at the Bellator level, so he is not a stranger to big fights. He recorded a win over MMA veteran James Vick at XMMA in January 2021, too.

UFC 270 Pereira vs. Fialho: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Pereira (26-11-0) | Fialho (14-3-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Pereira (-290) will cost you nearly three times your potential return. That’s just too costly, especially against a newcomer excited to be making his UFC debut.
AVOID.
Over/Under (O/U)
Fialho is a punch machine, while Pereira doesn’t get a lot of finishes. But the latter is polished, and he knows how to get it done and give the judges what they want to see.
PEREIRA BY POINTS (+215) is the most attractive play in method of victory, while BETTING YES (+150): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE is also a very attractive play.
