Command Analysis
Cameron Smotherman
USACurrent form
Cameron Smotherman — aka The Baby-Faced Killer, which translates as The Baby—Faced Killer - struck like thunder over Texas at the end of 2023: he became the Fury Fighting Championship champion, defended himself as if he had come to the weekend, and received a call from Dana White. Like, man, it's time to go to the highest level. He made his debut against Jake Hadley and, despite the short notice, dismantled the Englishman on all counts. Clearly, with glasses, without fuss.
Now the 27-year-old Smokerman has 14 wins under his belt — nine times he turned off the lights to his rivals, four times he won on points and once he choked to the end. Five defeats, but each time I stood up, drew conclusions and moved forward. He is ranked 62nd in the world MMA bantamweight rankings.

Serhiy Sidey
CanadaCurrent form
Sergey Side is a guy from Ukraine who went through the Canadian MMA school, and not just passed, but with honors. In the Battlefield Fight League, he not only became a champion, but also defended the title three times — and this, you know, is a serious claim. BTC Fight Promotions has also become the best. And in September 2023— Dana White's Contender Series will enter the arena. There, Sidey confidently passed Ramon Taveras, showing that he can work with his elbows, fists and head — in the sense of thinking in battle.
His UFC debut turned out to be a tricky one: the same Taveras again, but already a separate defeat. But in November 2024, Sergey closed the issue by defeating Garrett Armfield. He has nine wins — five by knockouts, three on points, and one submission. And four defeats. Today he is 52nd in the world ranking.

1.67Tip and bets
Bookmakers consider Sydney to be the favorite — and here, I must say, they are not just pointing fingers at the sky. Sergey has height, technique, and the ability to keep his opponent at bay. It's like he's conducting in the ring, creating a fight for himself. A smokerman is a completely different type: he likes barter, close combat, and old-school American style hacking. But if The Baby-Faced Killer turns on his head — and this is very important in such fights — he may try to take Sydney to the stalls. Because the Ukrainian's defense against takedowns is not going smoothly. This could be the key to victory. If the fight stays in the rack, then it's already roulette — whoever picks up the distance first will dominate. But in the end, the logic is on Sydney's side: he is more accurate, taller and can keep up the pace for three rounds.
Our betting tip is that Sydney will win in 1.70
