But Jung and Pettis are far apart in the way they dole out violence in the cage, and that’s why Aldo is such a heavy favorite leading into Saturday’s event, which takes place at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Aldo (22-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) is as big as an 8-1 favorite heading into his fight with Jung (13-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC), which headlines the pay-per-view card following prelims on FX and Facebook. When the champ was scheduled to fight Pettis, he wasn’t even in 2-1 territory. Although it’s not fair to predict a fight entirely based on the whims of the betting public, the disparity between the first and second lines reflect an easily observable different between Pettis and Jung. And that counts for something. Pettis, a protege of kickboxer-turned-MMA-fighter Duke Roufus, measures out his attacks in a way that’s fitting of a seasoned striker.

Their initial plans for UFC on FS1 3 to land in Porto Alegre, however, are facing an uphill battle. The event may instead see the promotion circle back to Belo Horizonte instead. It’s unclear what the issue is with Porto Alegre, but UFC executive Marshall Zelaznik, following Saturday night’s UFC on Fuel TV 10 in Fortaleza, confirmed that there is an issue and that the promotion has begun formulating a back-up plan.
