Jeff Neal - Uros Medich: betting tip (KEF 2.55) and betting on the fight

Current form

The August fight against Carlos Prates was a wake-up call for Neil. He was late in the exchanges, inferior in speed, skipped the excess. And at the very end of the first round, he got a hard elbow and was knocked down. It was an episode that said a lot about his current state. Before that, he had passed Rafael dos Anjos — the fight ended after an opponent's injury, although Neal really looked preferable in terms of dynamics.

Even earlier, there was a close fight with Ian Machado Harry, where the judges disagreed. But it was the meeting with Prates that left the feeling that Neil had become slower and more difficult to react to aggression. If the opponent explodes first and gets ahead of the curve, Neil starts having problems. And this is an important touch before the fight with Medich.

Current form

Medic is about speed, sharpness, and the lack of distance between intent and impact. In the last fight, he stopped Muslim Salikhov in just over a minute. Before that, he had dealt with Gilbert Urbina just as quickly. All of his UFC wins are early, most of them in the first round. At the same time, he has defeats without protracted stories. Punahele Soriano, Mitybek Orolbay and Jalin Turner finished it. He either turns off the lights or risks being under fire himself. This is a style without insurance. Something else is important. Medich throws punches with an accent. He is one of the division leaders in the number of knockdowns in 15 minutes — 2.26. 

Only Manuel Torres and Tom Aspinall are higher in this indicator. He also has one of the shortest average fight times in the weight class. If it hits cleanly, then everything happens very quickly. Yes, Prates is probably higher in level. But after such a heavy defeat, going into battle with another explosive knockout is a risky scenario.
