Brazilian contender Luan Lacerda will welcome Spaniard Hecher Sosa to the UFC this Saturday at UFC Vegas 114 in a bantamweight match at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Even with his experience competing inside the octagon, Lacerda is going to be the betting underdog with +200 UFC odds, while Sosa, who has a better MMA pro record, will be the -250 betting favorite.

UFC Vegas 114: Luan Lacerda vs. Hecher Sosa: Prediction
As the more well-rounded athlete who can fight in both the striking and grappling departments, I predict a TKO/KO victory for Sosa over Lacerda. The Spanish MMA contender can defend takedowns very well, and he can avoid a grappling battle with a submission ace like Lacerda.
With his takedowns getting stopped, Lacerda will have no choice but to engage in a striking showdown with Sosa, and that’s where the former Way of Warrior FC champion will truly shine, because he’s a very accurate and powerful striker.
