Tip and bets

TipThe fight will not be complete

1.66

Bookmaker analysts consider Bekoev a clear favorite of the upcoming fight. In their opinion, Reese will have very little chance of success. In general, this is true. However, we should not forget that the American is a serious opponent who already has experience of fighting in the UFC, as well as a noticeable advantage in size. He went through a full training camp, while the Russian accepted the challenge just a week before the start of the tournament. Considering that both fighters tend to quickly finish their fights, it is worth choosing a bet on a short fight.

Our prediction is that the fight will not be complete at 1.66
