Gilbert Burns - Mike Malotte: Betting Tip (KEF 2.00) and bets on the fight

Current form 

Gilbert Burns has long been entrenched as a kind of filter for the UFC welterweight elite. Rivals go through it as if it were a serious test, and not everyone can stand it. However, in recent battles, this filter has begun to malfunction in the direction of the Brazilian himself. Burns lost to Michael Morales last time in May, and before that he lost to rivals such as Sean Brady, Jack Della Maddalena and Belal Muhammad. The picture is not easy: the level of opposition is high, but the result is not in favor of the veteran. At the same time, writing off Burns is still dangerous.

This is a classic representative of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, who not only knows how to strangle and control the stalls, but is also able to explode in a stance with a powerful blow. His record is 22 wins (6 by knockout, 7 by decision, 9 by submission) and 9 defeats. Burns is an IBJJF world champion, winner of major grappling tournaments, and a man who can punish any mistake on the ground floor. But there is a caveat: age. By July, he will turn 40, and in battles at this level, this is a factor that can no longer be ignored.

Mike Malotte, on the other hand, is on the rise right now. The Canadian is approaching the fight with a series of three wins in a row, and each of them adds to his confidence. In October, he confidently dismantled Kevin Holland by unanimous decision in a rather chaotic duel. Before that, he stopped Charles Radtke by knockout and even earlier won on points over Trevin Giles. Malott shows that he can adapt to different styles of opponents — and this makes him especially dangerous. However, history had already taught him an unpleasant lesson.

In a fight against Neil Magni in Canada, he unexpectedly lost by technical knockout in the third round. And this moment still remains a reminder: you can't even relax at home. The 34-year-old fighter has a balance of 13 wins (5 by knockout, 2 by decision, 6 by submission) and 2 defeats. He has experience performing in the Xcessive Force Fighting Championship, as well as in the WSOF, Bellator MMA and Cage Fury Fighting Championships. This is no longer just a local guy, but a full-fledged all-rounder with a serious school.
