Bet Adesanya to Win in Round 4, 5, or By Decision

Israel Adesanya was the longtime king of the UFC’s middleweight, holding the belt following eight of the last 12 fights for the belt in the promotion. Given that success, it is not a surprise that legal betting sites have made him the favorite over Imavov.

His success as a championship-level fighter was largely based on his technical style. That style resulted in many decision wins. In his last seven middleweight bouts, Adesanya has four wins. Three of those wins were by decision.

The main reason to bet on Adesanya to win in rounds 4, 5, or by decision with +100 odds instead of simply by decision with +130 odds is that bettors aren’t getting much more value by limiting their avenue of success to just by decision.

Another reason that this fight may go into the later rounds and possibly be decided by decision is Imavov’s style and history.

He has fought ten times in the UFC and never won by submission. This indicates that he may be more of a standup boxing-style of fighter, which is very similar to Adesanya who prefers to fight on his feet and use his skills that made him a very high-level kickboxer.

When Adesanya and Imavov meet in the octagon, there is a good chance that they will try to fight on their feet and likely feel each other out early in the bout as they both try to establish distance and plan potential counters.

That may take a round or two, after which it is a good bet that Adesanya is able to use his championship pedigree to win in rounds 4, 5, or by decision and payout players who bet on his prop with +100 odds.
