The outcome of this fight will not affect the candidates' alignments in the middle division, but its winner will definitely be in the top 15 after the fight, and the loser is hardly worth hoping for.
Despite the fact that Akhmedov is already in the top 15 (under No. 13), and his opponent is not in the ratings, Breese is the favorite of the confrontation among the bookmakers, so people betting on UFC fights will turn their attention to him first.
Bookmakers often overestimate the factor of the last fight (Akhmedov lost it, Breese won), but Omari Akhmedov lost to a very large middleweight, a former UFC champion with a very strong wrestling base. Breeze defeated very average opponents and lost early himself. So we are still leaning towards Akhmedov's victory.
Forecast: Akhmedov to win in regulation time. We recommend bet "1 Win" with odds 2.1
