1.85Tip and bets
Bookmakers' analysts consider Yan a clear favorite of the upcoming fight. However, not everything is so clear with the outcome of this confrontation. Ricci, like her opponent, has extensive experience in MMA. The Chinese woman is slightly superior to her in anthropometric data, but the Brazilian is faster and sharper. An early victory should not be expected. The fight will have to go the full distance.
Our prediction is that the fight will be a full one at 1.31
