Bruno Lopes and Brendson Ribeiro are set to collide in the thrilling Week 5 of Dana White's Contender Series, promising a captivating light heavyweight clash. This is an enticing wagering prospect to launch the evening's combat action and see which one will earn a chance to land a UFC contract.

Lopes remains unbeaten in his career, triumphing in all 11 of his battles to date. His most recent victory came in September of the previous year at Legacy Fighting Alliance 173, where he secured a second-round TKO against Willyanedson Paiva.

Among his 11 victories, Lopes has achieved an impressive record: five knockouts, four submissions, and two decisions. Remarkably, seven of these 11 wins were first-round finishes.

Throughout his career, “Brunao” has ventured through various combat arenas. These include an unblemished 2-0 record in the LFA, a pristine 4-0 in the Jungle Fight Championship, and an impeccable 3-0 in Thunder Fight.

Lopes presently holds the 65^th position among the top light heavyweight fighters globally. This moment could be a remarkable chance for him to ascend in the rankings and secure a coveted UFC contract.

Ribeiro's recent record boasts a 2-2 performance over his last four bouts, and he's aiming to peak for his upcoming fight. His most recent victory occurred in December of last year at Shooto Brazil 114, where he secured a first-round knockout against Joao Paulo Fagundes.

Among his 14 wins, eight have been via knockout, while six have come through submission. Remarkably, 10 of these victories have concluded in the very first round, although he has faced two defeats by both knockout and submission.

“The Gorilla” has had good quality battles in recent years, most notably with the Revelation Fighting Championship (2-1-0-1). He also has battled in a few other leagues, such as AMC Fight Nights and Big Shot MMA.

He is currently ranked as the third best professional light heavyweight in Brazil. This will be a big step up in competition and will boost his career with a victory.

The latest odds provided by MyBookie suggest that Bruno Lopes is gaining significant momentum as the top pick to emerge victorious in the upcoming showdown. If you have confidence in Lopes securing the win, it might be wise to include him in a parlay bet, potentially amplifying your returns on his moneyline.

Ribeiro looks promising but has not had the same amount of quality performances as Lopes. Look for Lopes to potentially win by knockout.
