UFC 286: Gaethje vs Fiziev PREDICTION
Physically, the two competitors are remarkably similar. Fiziev can change views, which could be problematic for Gaethje. Both lightweights enjoy striking, although Gaethje scores more goals per minute than Fiziev. Gaethje and Fiziev, though, are also competent wrestlers. It will be interesting to see where the battle goes from there.
Justin Gaethje will lose to Rafael Fiziev via knockout.
UFC 286: Justin Gaethje vs Rafael Fiziev betting odds
Justin Gaethje +200, Rafael Fiziev -250.
Only Khabib Nurmagomedov, possibly the Greatest of All Time, has Justin Gaethje faced such a significant underdog. Given that he is now a 2:1 underdog, a $100 wager would return $200 if it wins. Because of Fiziev’s 2.5:1 advantage, a $250 bet would only return $100 if it won.
Gaethje recently suffered a defeat to Charles Oliveira at UFC 274. By way of first-round submission, Oliveira prevailed. On the other hand, Rafael Fiziev defeated Rafael Dos Anjos in the main event in July last year. He won by knockout in the fifth round.
