Command Analysis
Ryan Loder
USACurrent form
Ryan Loder is a fighter who seemed to be molded according to the patterns of the old school of American MMA: a strong body, a heavy arm and an eternal willingness to hack. In January 2023, he was one step away from becoming a champion in the Urijah Faber's A1 Combat promotion, but he was knocked out by compatriot Troy Green ahead of schedule, already in the first round. Would it seem like a rollback? But there is no. Ryan got ready, practiced, and came back angrier than ever.
August 2025: spectacular technical knockout against Swiss Robert Valentine. Before that, there were victories over Lahuan Davis and Leon Shahbazyan. A winning streak? Three fights in a row, and that's it. To date, Loder has seven wins (six by knockout, one by decision) and only one defeat. He is 33 years old and is on the 73rd line of the world middleweight ranking. Not a top, but not a beginner from the street either.

Azamat Bekoev
Russian FederationCurrent form
Azamat Bekoev is a man who went from Ossetian gyms to one of the most respected gyms in America — the American Top Team. He didn't just declare himself loudly — he flew into the world of MMA with resonance. First there was the Absolute Akhmat Championship, then Legion FC, and anyone who remembers Berkut Young Eagles knows where real steel is forged.
In 2023, Bekoev takes the LFA title, makes two confident defenses — and immediately receives a call from Dana White himself. UFC debut? The brightest: in January 2025, he sends Zach Reese to the realm of dreams with a knockout in the first round. Currently, Bekoev has 19 wins (seven by knockout, four by decision, eight by submission) and three defeats. And his winning streak has already lasted seven fights. Age — 29 years. The ranking is 51st in the world in its division.

2.01Tip and bets
The bookmakers have no doubt in this fight: Bekoev is the favorite. And it's not so much about the stakes as about the level. Loder is a fighter with punch and wrestling, but too one—dimensional. Yes, it can hook, it can hold back, but if the fight goes beyond the first round, the questions begin. Azamat is a universal. He has a sambo base, a powerful stance, and a dangerous ground floor. In such a situation, Loder can only hope for one good shot. But Bekoev is not the guy who will let himself be caught. He competently controls the pace, does not lose concentration and knows how to win against fighters with one trump card. The fight will take place according to Azamat's scenario: he will neutralize Loder's fight, take the center, start gaining points and not get into adventures.
Our betting tip is that Bekoev will win on points in 2.45
