1.70Tip and bets
On paper, Martinez is the clear favorite. He works powerfully in a stand-up position, knows how to maintain a high pace and defends well against takedowns. This is his UFC debut, which means he'll be motivated through the roof. Oliveira is a master submissive, but his problems with protection and long downtime raise questions. The fight will take place according to Martinez's scenario. He will set a high tempo, will not allow Oliveira to transfer the fight to the stalls and will try to finish the fight ahead of schedule. The bookmakers are inclined to the same opinion, and we agree with them.
Our prediction is that Martinez will win by knockout in 2.26
