LiontipsAlexander Pantoja - Joshua Wang: betting tip and bets for the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Pantoja has long since stopped catching doubts. Since he won the belt in 2023, he has been methodically chasing away anyone who tries to get close to the throne. Four defenses in a row is already the level at which they begin to talk about the legacy. He spent the last two fights without much tension at all: Kara France and Asakaura surrendered after heavy pressure and suffocating blows. Before that, he beat Steve Erceg on points, although he made him nervous in the rack.
The Panto is in perfect condition now. The fighting is well—honed, the jiu-jitsu is confident, even if it doesn't look too pretty. Against Wang, who relies on aggression, this could be a verdict. Quick surrender sounds absolutely realistic here.
Yes, there was a moment when Erceg interrupted him until he got into a fight. Perhaps Wang will be able to stay on his feet if he doesn't load the aisles. But Pantoja drew conclusions: in the fights with Asakaura and Cara France, he became even more careful in his stance and acted prudently. Erceg won in the rack until he decided to wrestle — perhaps Wang will be able to repeat this success if he does not fight. But Pantoja seemed to have drawn conclusions and was much more careful in his battles with Asakaura and Cara-France.

Current form
Wang, in turn, is on a five-game winning streak and looks like his ceiling hasn't been found yet. The last fight with Brandon Royal turned out to be bright: he confidently dismantled the challenger and got a chance for the title. Before that, he kneaded Bruno Silva and Ray Tsuruya, working with explosive combinations. The only defeat in the UFC was a knockout from Charles Johnson.
But it seems that this story on the red carpet is coming to a pause. Wang had a great year, and if he had won the belt, his name would definitely have been on the list of candidates for the fighter of the season. But it is his strengths that are ideal for Pantoja. Van hits the most in the UFC, 8.86 significant punches per minute. This is a huge volume.
But you have to pay for the pace. He misses a lot — 6.36 beats per minute, one of the biggest figures in the promotion. So far, he's been saved by the fact that he deals more than he gets, but this style leaves a lot of doors open.
Interesting betting trends
The accuracy of Wang's punches is 57 percent.

All this pressure and aggression from Van can be a gift for Pantoja. His reaction to passes and speed of takedowns are elite level. He knows better than most where the moment for translation appears. You won't have to guess at all against Van, who will go ahead and hit. Wang is more dangerous in the stance than Asakaura or Kara France, but his wrestling defense is not tested as well as we would like. Pantoja will most likely quickly drag the fight to the stalls, where he feels at home. Wang has 63 percent takedown defense, but this statistic is slightly exaggerated. The most important thing is that we have not yet seen Van escape from the submissives against the elite. It is unlikely that the debut in this area will go smoothly.
Our betting tip is that Pantoja will win by submission 2.13
