Anatoly Tokov vs Johnny Eblen Prediction: No Chance to Take the Belt to Russia

Prediction for the Bellator 290 Anatoly Tokov vs Johnny Eblen fight, which will take place on February 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anatoly Tokov

According to the author, one of the most talented middleweights in Russia has already passed his peak – and it's not his fault. 4-5 years ago, Tokov was quite worthy of a title fight, but he did not get it, even though he won confidently in Bellator. Then the coronavirus, the political situation, and problems with the visa resulted in two years of downtime.

And Anatoly returned, not the one who left. His fight with Sharaf Davlatmurodov did not convince anyone, although the victory was achieved (in the opinion of many, very controversial). Well, the battle with Muhammad Abdullah cannot be taken into account at all – this is an unknown fighter, urgently discharged for replacement and destroyed by Tokov in a couple of minutes.

Johnny Eblen

Eblen is a completely different fighter than Anatoly's two previous opponents. He is the current Bellator champion, with zero in the defeats. Right now, he is in crazy shape. He is doing everything in all aspects, maximum self-confidence. No one has been able to point out his weaknesses yet, but we still hope that Takov will succeed.

Expert Betting Tips

If you look at the opponents' skills in the fight and the guard, they are about the same level, relatively high, and diverse. But the current state of the Russian inspires a little alarm. Whether he is ready to return to his previous story is a big question.

In a close confrontation, the judges will give the victory to the Americans anyway.
