Alexander Volkov - Valdo Cortez-Acosta: betting tip (cf. 1.54) and bets on the fight

Alexander Volkov should take the upcoming match seriously, because this is his chance to stay in the championship race. Due to Tom Aspinal's injury, Cyril Gan and Alex Pereira will play for the interim belt, but the Russian has to prove that he is still capable of being a contender for the championship match. If he defeats Cortez-Acosta, Volkov will be able to consolidate his status as the main contender for the title chance, and given all the problems of the heavyweight division, who knows, maybe Alexander will fight for the title next. Defeat will greatly aggravate the situation of an experienced Russian fighter, and it is far from certain that in this scenario it will be possible to break into the championship race again. 

Valdo Cortez-Acosta is approaching the upcoming match in a good mood. The Dominican fighter has won three previous fights in the UFC, and all of them ended ahead of schedule. Delia and Gaziev were knocked out in the first round, while Derek Lewis held out until the second. Anyway, the statistics of the fights in the promotion are impressive. Waldo played 12 matches and won ten of them — five ahead of schedule and five on points. Despite this, in a duel with a Russian fighter, Cortez-Acosta acts as an underdog.
