LiontipsSergey Pavlovich - Waldo Cortez-Acosta: betting tip and bets for the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Sergey Pavlovich is approaching the fight after a not very spectacular, but important triumph over Jairzinho Rosenstruik. The fight turned out to be strange — Pavlovich played careful and wait most of the time, which, frankly, left more questions than answers. Prior to that, the Russian had endured a difficult year: a points defeat by Alexander Volkov, where Volkov's jab was beyond his capabilities, and a knockout by Tom Aspinall in a minute in the fight for the interim title. Pavlovic is currently ranked third in the UFC heavyweight rankings and clearly wants to regain his status as a top fighter.

Current form
Waldo Cortez-Acosta has been looking much more convincing in recent years. He has compiled a streak of five wins in a row and brought his UFC record to 7-1, making him a real contender for the heavyweight title. In the last fight, he defeated Sergey Spivak by close decision — personally, I saw Spivak win because Cortez-Acosta looked shocked, but tried to stay confident. Other victories include defeats of Robelis Despain, Andrei Arlovski and Lukasz Brzeski. He is currently in sixth place in the division rankings.

1.84Tip and bets
Sergey has been inclined to sink to the level of his opponent lately. Cortez-Acosta is able to avoid strong long-range strikers, but he rarely leads an active attack. Pavlovic has brought the last two fights to a decision, and Cortez has won half of his fights on points, so there's no reason to expect quick reprisals.
