Betting guide for Anders vs Jotko

A tough fight to predict due to both guys being pretty evenly matched. However, Jotko has the striking defence and output to take this one on the scorecards. He lands more than he gets hit, and he has a great takedown defence so he can dictate where the fight takes place. We don’t like those negative landed-absorbed ratios and especially not when you’re facing a technical striker like Jotko.

Betting tip: Krzysztof Jotko wins on points.
