Prediction for the MMA match which will take place on August 11. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nikolai Veretennikov

Nikolai Veretennikov accepted the challenge on short notice, will become the ninth fighter from Kazakhstan in the UFC and will try to take his chance - he has competed in localised American leagues until now, and has suffered only one defeat in his last twelve fights (which came at Dana White's Contender Series).

Nikolai moved to the USA in 2015 together with his wife, continued to train martial arts there and worked as a security guard in parallel. Since 2016, he started competing in the American leagues (his record in the professionals at that time was 1-3), and the victories did not take long to come, he even became the champion of Fury FC . Dana White was present at the title fight and invited Veretennikov to Contender Series after his victory, where Nikolay, unfortunately, lost. But he did not let his hands down and three years later he took another belt - in the UFL league.

Nikolay almost always wins by knockout, he even had one fight in professional boxing (TKO victory). He has everything he needs to succeed in the UFC - a colourful and entertaining style, a large fan base both in the CIS and the USA, and useful friendships with Beneil Dariush and Giga Chikadze.

Danny Barlow

Danny Barlow has yet to have a loss in his career and just like Nikolai Veretennikov, is a solid finisher. He has only had one fight in the UFC so far, which he won by technical knockout over Josh Quinlon.

Expert Betting Tips

Two very tough and ambitious knockout artists will face each other in the cage, each with something to fight for, and each not noted for their impeccable defence. Expect blood and a storm of emotion in this confrontation.
