LiontipsRafa Garcia - Jared Gordon: betting tip and bets for the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Rafa Garcia, this 31-year-old guy from Mexico, recently delighted his fans in his native land. In the last outing of the UFC, he defeated Vink Pichel by decision of the judges - a real thriller where Garcia showed his character and did not let himself be broken. But before that, he suffered a bitter setback: a knockout from Grant Dawson, who reminded him how much the UFC is a world where one moment can turn everything around.
Right now, Garcia's record in the Overall Championship looks like this: five wins against four losses. And if you dig deeper, then after a perfect start in Combat Americas with eight wins in a row, his total score is 17 wins (one by knockout, eight by decision, eight by submission) and four defeats. He was the Combate Americas champion, so the title runs in his blood, and he's always ready for a rematch. Garcia is a typical grounder who likes to move a fight to the stalls and strangle his opponents, but sometimes he lacks that spark in the stand.

And now let's move on to Jared Gordon, the 37-year-old American who blew up the ring in his last fight. The knockout over Thiago Moises was something epic, a blow of such force that the audience jumped up from their seats. Before that, the split decision in favor of Nasrat Hakparast is controversial, I'll tell you. Many people, including me, saw Gordon win because he dominated at key moments.
And if we recall that famous defeat by Paddy Pimblett, then without these judicial vagaries, Gordon would have had a series of six fights without defeats. The overall record is impressive: 20 wins (eight by knockout, ten by decision, two by submission) and seven defeats. He's a former CFFC champion, so experience is his middle name. Gordon is a stand-up machine, with powerful arms and stamina that allows him to crush opponents round after round.
Interesting betting trends
The accuracy of Gordon's punches is 56 percent.

In this fight, Gordon is the clear favorite, and the bookmakers agree with this. The American is a cut above in the punch: his technique has been honed for years, and his hands strike like a hammer. His defense against takedowns is at 62 percent - remember how he didn't let Pimblett make any of the three attempts. Garcia, of course, is strong on the ground floor, but Gordon won't let him go there, plus the American has an advantage in size - he seems to be designed for light weight, while it's probably easier for the Mexican to get into featherweight. Garcia holds 60 percent of the defense against significant strikes, but Gordon is not a beginner, he will find a loophole. The American lands 5.67 significant strokes per minute with an accuracy of 55 percent, which is above the average for the division. The fight will remain in the rack, where Gordon will take the opponent apart like an experienced mechanic. It will be difficult for a Mexican to resist such power.
Our prediction is that Gordon will win in 1.42
