LiontipsMontel Jackson - Raoni Barcelos: betting tip (kef 2.47) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Montel Jackson had a great chance to break into the elite of the division and make a big name for himself. A series of six consecutive wins is no joke, it's a serious claim. But the exam turned out to be too difficult. Defeat by Daveson Figueiredo. Formally— it was a split decision by the judges, but in fact it was a fight in which Jackson looked too cautious. Even, one might say, constrained. And in fights of this level, procrastination is almost a sentence. Figueiredo took advantage of this and simply took the episodes that Jackson himself had given away. The American has been competing in the UFC since 2018, but so far his career has been going smoothly. He is stable and dangerous, but lacks the same predatory instinct that makes the contenders champions. He has 18 wins to his credit: nine by knockout, six by decision and three by submission. There are three defeats.
Current form
Raoni Barcelos has caught a wave and is riding it confidently. Four wins in a row, and each of them added weight to him in the eyes of fans and experts. The victory over Peyton Talbott was especially significant. Back then, Barcelos was the underdog, but he came out and literally turned the tide of the fight with his activity. He did not wait, he did not stand — he went forward, pressed, forced mistakes. And it worked. Further — more. Defeating Cody Garbrandt and Ricky Simon by decision. Yes, not the finishes, but the control, pace and confidence are all with him. He has 21 wins to his credit: eight by knockout, ten by decision and three by submission. There are five defeats. He has titles in the RFA, where he defended the belt twice, and a championship in Shooto Brazil. He came to the UFC as an already formed fighter, and now it feels like never before.

Tip and bets
Barcelona is about pressure, contact, constant close—range work. Jackson is bigger, more accurate, but sometimes too careful. The Brazilian will almost certainly go forward, close the distance, bind, force to fight in an uncomfortable manner. It's going to be a dirty, tight, physically tough fight at the net. This is exactly the scenario that unsettles many technical, but not the most aggressive fighters. Jackson is bigger— yes. But dimensions don't always decide. And Barcelos is a guy who knows how to work against bigger opponents. He doesn't get lost, doesn't panic, and doesn't back down.
Our prediction is that Barcelona will win in 2.47 seconds.
