Curtis Blaydes vs Alexander Volkov Odds

Curtis Blaydes vs Alexander Volkov, Heavyweight, Main Event

Curtis Blaydes enters this contest as the very strong $1.26 favourite.

The 29-year-old has an impressive 13-2-1 record for his career, 10 of those wins coming by knockout.

He has won 7 of his last 8 fights, with his only defeat coming against Francis Ngannou.

Contrast that to Alexander Volkov, who is currently a $3.85 outsider.

The Russian veteran has had a very strong career, sporting a 31-7 overall record, with 20 wins coming by knockout.

He enters this clash in red hot form, having won 7 of his last 8 fights against a strong list of opponents.

While these are two very similar fighters, I feel as though Blaydes has the edge here.

He is the faster of the two and packs a more powerful punch, vital traits in what I expect to be a striking battle.

I can’t see this going the distance given their profiles, meaning that a Blaydes KO is the best value available.
