Serhiy Sidey vs Ramon Taveras Prediction: Second Match Will End in a Same Way

On the night of January 21st, Toronto will host UFC 297. In one of the preliminary card fights, Ukrainian fighter Serhiy Sidey will share the cage with American Ramon Taveras. The fight will be held in the lightest weight category. 

Both fighters are making their UFC debuts, and both came up through the Contender Series. They have also met before, with Sidey winning by technical knockout last September.

Serhiy Sidey

Serhiy Sidey is a fighter of Ukrainian descent but now lives and trains in Canada. He previously competed in the Battlefield Fight League, where he compiled a record of 10-1-0, and most of his wins were by knockout. He has also won three previous fights by knockout, including his most recent against his current opponent.

Ramon Taveras

Ramon Taveras got another chance after his loss to Sidey at the Contender Series, and he took full advantage of it, finishing Cortavious Romious at 29 seconds of the first round. He has also won most of his fights by knockout, and only one fight in his career has gone to a judges' decision. Before his invitation to the Contender Series, Ramon Taveras competed in the Combat Night promotion.

Expert Betting Tips

Four months have passed since their previous fight against each other, and it's unlikely that the outcome will change this time around. Taveras has both career losses by knockout, suggesting he doesn't land his punches very well. In the fight with Sidey, it is necessary to keep the jab because the opponents will start to fight from the very beginning, and it will not last long.
