Vugar Karamov

Vugar Karamov is a 32-year-old Azerbaijani fighter who was a three-time World MMA champion as an amateur and Rizin FF champion as a professional and has experience in WWFC and Bellator.

Karamov lost his title last year (he was knocked out extremely hard with an up-kick by Shihiro Suzuki), but he had already closed out the loss when he finished Kazumasu Majima in his last fight at 28 seconds of the first round.

Roberto De Souza

Roberto de Souza came to mixed martial arts from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where he achieved considerable success. He became the Rizin FF lightweight champion in 2021 when he caught Tofik Musaev with a triangle choke, then managed to defend the title three times and lost two non-title fights (he was defeated by AJ McKee and Patricky Freire at the Rizin/Bellator co-main event).

The Brazilian is now riding two straight early wins, each by technical knockout in the first round.

Expert Betting Tips

Karamov finished his opponent in 28 seconds in his last fight, de Souza did the same in 23 seconds. We wonder how long their face-to-face confrontation will last? Obviously, not long, because the seven previous fights between these guys ended before they even started, and for the whole career they can count on the fingers of one hand the fights that ended up on the judges' decisions.
