Fiziev vs. Ruffy Odds
Match Preview
Fiziev had a three-bout losing streak, during which he suffered some really jinxing defeats. He lost to Gaethje via majority decision, then suffered a knee injury to Mateusz Gamrot, before losing once again to Justin Gaethje.
His striking output is maybe the highest in the division, and the Azerbaijani fighter is the elite for a reason. He knows how to perform in the clinch, is very good at dirty boxing, and his aggressiveness in the octagon is extremely high.
Ruffy is a hard-hitter and possibly the guy with the strongest punch in the division. He is 12-2 in the MMA, and 11 of his triumphs came via KO. That’s data that explains his fighting style damn well. His hands are not just powerful, but quick, and overall, he’s pretty creative when it comes to inflicting damage in the stand-up.
Ruffy is coming off a loss in his previous battle, which was against Benoit Saint Denis, who managed to submit him via face crank. Before that, the Brazilian had wins over Jamie Muyllarkey and King Green, among other notable names in the division.
Fiziev vs. Ruffy Predictions
The reason we bet on Fiziev is that he has already faced guys similar to Ruffy in terms of fighting style, but more experienced. Also, he’s more versatile inside the octagon, able to eat a punch as well, and for us, that’s enough for this event.
