LiontipsCayo Borrallo - Rainier de Ridder: betting tip (kef 1.42) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Cayo Borrallo had an unpleasant moment in the fall. In September, he lost by unanimous decision to Nassurdin Imavov, and thus lost the opportunity to immediately break into the middleweight title race. The defeat turned out to be especially painful, because before that, the Brazilian was on an impressive streak of 16 consecutive victories. Seven of them have already been won under the UFC banner. Before meeting Imavov, Borrallo showed very mature performances. He confidently beat the experienced Jared Cannonier on points, and even earlier he vividly knocked out Paul Craig. In general, the Brazilian has long established himself as a fighter who knows how to control the course of a duel. His work in the stalls is a real art of positional pressure, and in the stand he acts carefully and prudently.
Borrallo's style makes him look like an extremely uncomfortable opponent for de Ridder. The Brazilian knows how to knit a fight, does not allow his opponent to breathe freely and gradually takes over round after round. He's also composed enough in his stance not to let himself be caught off guard. In addition, Borrallo has solid experience in title fights in other organizations — he became the champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Future Fighting Championships, which speaks to his ability to cope with the pressure of big fights. Borrallo has 17 wins (six by knockout, eight by decision and three by submission) and two defeats.

There was a lot of talk about Rainier de Ridder before the October fight with Brendan Allen. The Dutchman was riding a wave of success and looked like one of the most talked-about fighters in the division. The reason for the uproar was serious: a decision victory over Robert Whittaker, as well as early triumphs over Bo Nickal and Kevin Holland. However, the fight with Allen turned out to be a cold shower. De Ridder didn't look as confident as expected that evening. He was inferior to his opponent in both standing and wrestling, and towards the middle of the match he noticeably slowed down the pace. Whether this was the result of endurance problems or injuries is still unclear. But the fact remains that he lost that fight, and he looked pretty tired and broken at the same time.
At the same time, de Ridder has obvious physical advantages. He is taller than the Brazilian and has a large arm span of about three inches. This can play a role in the stance if the Dutchman manages to keep his distance. His statistics are also impressive: 21 wins (five by knockout, three by decision of judges and twelve by submission) with three defeats. In addition, 35-year—old de Ridder is a former champion of the ONE Championship, HIT Fighting Championship and 360 Promotion organizations.

2.22Tip and bets
To be honest, the scales are leaning towards Borrallo. His style is pressure, control and the ability to gradually concret an opponent. It is no coincidence that in the UFC he is often compared to a heavy blanket: if the Brazilian is pinned to the canvas, it is extremely difficult to get out of there. If de Ridder's stamina issues, which we saw in the fight with Allen, really exist, then the Brazilian can take full advantage of it. He is able to exhaust his opponent round after round, gradually taking the initiative. There is another important point — the total number of rounds. Here, logic suggests that the fight may drag on. Borrallo rarely forces events and is not one of the fighters who are looking for a knockout every second. Therefore, the scenario may well turn out like this: a viscous struggle, control at the net, gradual pressure and a protracted duel, where the outcome will be decided either by judicial notes or by a late stoppage.Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 rounds in 1.42
