Ryan Cuse - Marcio Barbosa: Betting Tip (cf 1.32) and bets on the fight

Current form

Marcio Barbosa began his performance in the UFC exactly as befits a fighter with a powerful punch, with an early victory. In April, the Brazilian defeated Dennis Buzukya in the first round, knocking out his opponent with punches. For this performance, he received the Best Performance of the Evening bonus. Moreover, this success was a continuation of his confident path through Dana White's Contender Series, where Barbosa also stopped Damon Wilson in the opening round with a technical knockout.

Before joining the UFC, the 28-year-old fighter managed to gain experience in the LFA and other regional organizations. In LFA, his record was one win and one loss. The only setback in his career came at a meeting with Gabriel Santos, who ended the fight in the first round after kicking him in the head and then finishing him off. In the rest of the fights, Barbosa looked very convincing, and he won most of the victories thanks to his striking power. The Brazilian's professional record now stands at 18 wins and only one loss. At the same time, he won 15 times by knockout, twice more by submission, and only once did it come to a judicial decision.

Current form

Ryan Cuse is a rather unusual UFC newcomer. The American received a contract without participating in the Dana White's Contender Series and will now hold his debut match in the strongest league in the world. For a 32-year-old fighter, this is a chance to immediately assert himself at the highest level. The last time Cuse entered the cage was in April 2026. At the Samurai Fight House tournament, he faced Leonardo Camargo and ended the confrontation in the second round, knocking out his opponent with punches. He has nine wins and two losses to his professional credit. Six victories were achieved by knockouts, and three more by judges' decisions.

The American has already competed in LFA, Titan FC, and Fury FC, so making his UFC debut won't be his first major challenge. In 2020, Cuse won the Fighting Force championship. One of the most notable victories of his career remains his success over former UFC fighter Kevin Natividad, whom he defeated by unanimous decision.
