UFC Vegas 105: Trending Fighter Could Be Fighting For Her Job

Diana Belbita faces a tough challenge this Saturday against Dione Barbosa at UFC Vegas 105. After successfully making weight Friday evening, Belbita enters the fight as a significant underdog ( 700), a fact likely driving considerable online interest from bettors seeking a potential high-payoff upset.

Belbita's current two-fight losing streak, including two losses to Molly McCann (now retired), puts her in a precarious position. A third consecutive defeat could lead to her release from the UFC. Her opponent, Barbosa, presents a formidable challenge.

Despite a recent loss to Miranda Maverick, Barbosa boasts a strong record with four consecutive wins prior. Her superior grappling skills and Belbita's history of struggles with submission defense paint a grim picture for the latter. McCann's armbar victory over Belbita in their last encounter further emphasizes this vulnerability.

A first-round submission victory for Barbosa seems highly probable. Belbita's only strike-based win dates back to 2018, long before her UFC career. While an upset is possible, it's a long shot.
