UFC Fight Night 215: Chase Sherman vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta Prediction and Betting Odds - November 19

It's been just three weeks since Waldo Cortes-Acosta picked up a decision win over Jared Vanderaa. Despite taking some damage in the fight, Cortes-Acosta is already gearing up for his octagon return against heavyweight journeyman Chase Sherman.

Sherman is just 1-4 in his last five bouts in the UFC. Cortes-Acosta, meanwhile, is on an impressive 8-fight undefeated streak. Both fighters will be looking to use a win here to springboard into the UFC heavyweight rankings.

At a glance, Cortes-Acosta seems the obvious winner given his recent success and Sherman's highly questionable chin and durability. However, where Cortes-Acosta defeated Vanderaa by decision, Sherman was able to TKO him in round three and will no doubt be determined to build a two-fight win streak here.

Chase Sherman vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta Tale of the Tape

'Salsa Boy' will enjoy a 10lb weight advantage over the older, more experienced Sherman tonight. They measure up equally in height and reach, meaning neither man will have a reach advantage to enjoy.

Chase Sherman has struggled to ever mount a proper winning streak in the UFC, with both of his runs in the promotion racking up a lot of losses. His most recent win broke a four-fight skid, two of which were by submission.

Cortes-Acosta, meanwhile, is undefeated with 50% of his wins coming via knockout. A win here could see him move up the pecking order and potentially face some of the lower-ranked members of the heavyweight top 15.

Fighter	Age	Height	Weight	Reach	Record
Chase Sherman	33	6'4"	250lbs	78"	16-10
Waldo Cortes-Acosta	31	6'4"	260lbs	78"	8-0

Chase Sherman vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta Prediction

'Salsa Boy' may not be 100% heading into this one given his recent Vanderaa fight. That being said, he's still a solid favorite here given he's yet to taste defeat and has looked strong in most of his victories thus far.

Chase Sherman, meanwhile, has struggled more than ever in recent years. While his win over Vanderaa looked promising, his first-round submission losses to Alexander Romanov and Jake Collier called his grappling and endurance into question.

Assuming Cortes-Acosta isn't too banged up, this fight is likely his to win.
