Odds are based on bookmaker betting lines and reflect an average value, and they can move at any time. AgentMMA is not a bookmaker and takes no bets.
UFC Shanghai is bringing the heat on August 29, and this bantamweight scrap between Xiao Long and Francesco Nuzzi is one of those fights that has people genuinely curious. Nuzzi is stepping into the UFC on short notice for his debut, which is either the craziest thing you can do or the most exciting, depending on how you look at it. That alone makes this worth watching. Xiao Long has been grinding through the UFC bantamweight division and fans know he can finish guys.
- Nuzzi takes wild short notice UFC debut in Shanghai
- Xiao Long desperate for a win after two straight losses
- Italian prospect looking to shock the world on debut night
If Xiao Long's hands are on point like they were when he stopped Quang Le, the third round is when things could get real dangerous for the debuting Nuzzi.
He stopped Quang Le with punches in the third round back at UFC Macau in November 2024, which showed he has real pop in his hands. But his last two outings were unanimous decision losses to SuYoung You and then that wild fight against Cody Garbrandt where he actually had two points deducted for repeated low blows. That kind of stuff sticks with you. Here's the thing about Nuzzi stepping in on short notice for his UFC debut in Shanghai.
That takes serious guts, and the Italian MMA community is going absolutely crazy for this moment. His team at Team Iridium announced the booking and the buzz out of Italy has been real, with FightSport Italia dropping an exclusive interview that shows he is fired up and ready. Xiao Long needs a win badly after back to back losses, and Nuzzi wants to announce himself to the world in the biggest way possible. The pressure is on both guys.
