Souza v Hermansson Betting Tips & Predictions
The BB&T Center in south Florida plays host to the hotly-anticipated octagon action this weekend as the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings us Fight Night 150. Drama is guaranteed here as some of the most ambitious fighters in the game put record and reputation on the line in a bid to claim glory in front of the watching world. Who will come out on top? Here are our Souza v Hermansson betting tips.
The Main Card is packed with talent, led by a bout that has kept fans guessing in the build-up. Ronaldo Souza takes on Jack Hermansson in the main attraction at middleweight; that’s a clash that really could go either way, splitting public opinion right down the middle. The winner of that one will take a huge leap towards getting a shot at the division’s top prize. Fans in attendance and watching the live TV coverage will be settled into their seats early.
UK fans can keep up-to-speed thanks to the live coverage offered by BT Sport; however, it’ll be another late one with the main event expected at around 1.00am GMT. Worth staying up for? We certainly think so; there’s plenty on the undercard that’ll hold your attention as we move into the wee small hours of Sunday.

Alligator to Put the Bite on Jack
39-year-old Brazilian Ronaldo Souza is a highly-ranked middleweight fighter who has never won the UFC world championship, but boasts impressive wins over fellow champions, as well as some of the division’s best and brightest. He is approaching the end of his career but has been showing no signs of slowing down in recent outings and has a style that will allow him to remain competitive for as long as he sees fit. No fighter will welcome a match with Souza, that’s for sure.
An all-rounder, he boasts experience competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai and Submission Wrestling and that is evident in his MMA style, a capable fighter in all areas of the game, including with his back to the floor. Fighting out of Amazonas in the country of his birth, Ronaldo brings a professional MMA record – having fought under a number of major promotions, including UFC – of 26 wins from 33 contests. Of his victories, he has won 14 by submission – no surprise, given his experience of submission wrestling – eight by knockout and four by decision.
On the flip side of his record, Souza has lost six times to date, with those defeats spread evenly between knockout and decision. He also has one no contest on his card which came back in 2009 when fighting on the Dream 9 scene in Japan for the vacant Dream middleweight championship, the bout called to a premature conclusion due to an illegal kick.
