Todorovic is a 28-year-old Serb who turned professional in 2015. He is a Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a Black belt in Taekwondo. He made his UFC debut against Dequan Townsend and earned a Performance of the Night because of the second-round TKO of his opponent. That performance was followed by a clutch of losses against Gregory Rodrigues and Punalele Soriano. One more win and a loss to Chidi Njokuani this past April and the over six feet Serbian, who never lost a professional fight until joining the UFC is faced with the danger of irrelevance in the division. His loss to Njokuani was to a first round KO.
Jordan Wright
American Jordan Wright has a similar professional trajectory to Duško Todorović. He also didn’t lose a professional fight until he joined the UFC. He comes into his battle on a two-match losing skid, winning only two of his five UFC fights so far. Wright made his UFC debut in 2020 with a win over Ike Villanueva in a light heavyweight bout. He lost his last fight in April 2022 to a guillotine choke against Marc-Andre Barriault in round one. In his five fights in UFC he has gone past the first round only once. A feat he achieved when he lost in the second round against Joaquin Buckley.

Expert Betting Tips
The oddsmakers have favored Duško Todorović in the market. We cannot be sure of the reason but it may be because he has fought more illustrious opponents since joining the UFC. All the same the fight will be explosive as the two fighters will go at each other with some ferocious energy. As a 2.70 odds underdog, picking Jordan Wright will be a no-brainer. He has been training at Jacksonville for a while now and looks settled after the halcyon arrival in the UFC. Wright is a large Middleweight and has even fought some once in Light Heavyweight. Against a fighter on the same skill level, the American will use his size to get the better of Todorović in the clinch. His reach and strength and his knees may just be the decider.
