Sergey Bilostenniy is a famous Russian fighter who dreamed of trying himself in a foreign league and refused even the tempting offer of ASA for the sake of his Bellator debut—the year 2021 was the most successful for him. He won four fights by knockouts; in his own words, he had the worst fight of his career last year.
Sergey faced Fernando Rodrigues at the RCC tournament, won by split decision, but was close to defeat. He looked terrible and could not fulfill his fight plan. The Russian excelled in fighting in the standing and suffered two losses from the same man, Mukhomad Vakhaev, back at the ACA.
Tyrell Fortune
Fortune is a flesh-and-blood product of Bellator, so he has never fought in the pros outside the league. He's an experienced, skilled fighter who has long been ranked high and has faced some of the best heavyweights. Like Bilostenny, he is also a terrific puncher and has won most of his victories by knockout.
Tyrell had two fights last year, knocking out Rakim Cleveland in the first round and losing by TKO to Daniel James.
Expert Betting Tips
Unexpectedly, Bilostenniy emerged as the favorite as we believe in his victory. Sergey is very angry with himself for his previous performance. He talked about mistakes he made in the preparation and probably changed many things. The bout is crucial for him. In addition to his horrifying punching, we must see his defense against takedowns perfected.
Fortune, on the other hand, is unlikely to show something new. He will be taking and maybe even provoking the fight in the standing, where the chances of the Russian are the same. If something goes wrong for Tyrell, he will try to wrestle, but Bilostenniy understands that as well, so we shouldn't be too worried about this development.
