Renat Khavalov vs Cleiver Fernandes Prediction: Fight Will End Quickly and Paifully for Brazilian

The PFL Road to Dubai event will take place on 25 January, with the main fight being Usman Nurmagomedov vs Paul Hughes. In another bout, undefeated Renat Khavalov will face Brazilian Cleiver Fernandes. The fight will be in the lightest weight category. 

Renat Khavalov

Renat Khavalov is a 26-year-old Dagestani fighter who used to be a wrestler and he knocks out 75% of his opponents. Renat has never failed a fight and is a former Eagle FC league champion. In his last fight, he knocked out Hikaru Yoshino at the UAE Warriors league tournament. 

Cleiver Fernandes

Cleiver Fernandez is a very good jiu-jitsu fighter who can do the takedown from almost any position on the floor. However, he hasn't fought outside of Brazil yet, and he hasn't faced an opponent as good as Khavalov.

Expert Betting Tips

We expect Renat Khavalov to start the bout strongly, using his strikes and pressure. Fernandez will be looking to wrestle, but the Dagestani's discipline in the parterre will make difference. We think that the level of his opponents here is completely different. If Khavalov says he's going to win a lot in the PFL, Fernandes is just one of many Brazilian fighters who regularly come to Russia for paychecks. We don't think this fight will be exciting, and we're sure that Renat Khavalov will win. In fact, we think it will be very quick.
