Odds From Betonline.ag
The fight is one that will pit a couple of fighters that could eventually headline for UFC. However, in this fight they are only middle of the main card fighters. Look for the fight to be a good one, though, which will make it very interesting to see. The money shows that Belal will win the fight and I have to agree. Belal can do more than just throw punches as he can perform takedowns as well, which Good is lacking in. Not to mention Good relies heavily on the TKO/KO fights and Belal is a fairly well rounded fighter who can and will go the distance in this fight.
