UFC betting online: Undefeated featherweight prospect Mirsad Bektic (9-0, 4 KOs, 2 SUBs) will look to further climb the divisional ladder when he faces the hard-hitting Lucas Martins (15-2, 11 KOs, 4 SUBs) at UFC Fight Night 67 in Brazil.
This should be a good one for the fans, as both men are young prospects with something to prove. The bout will take place on the prelims of a card featuring former welterweight interim champion Carlos Condit and former title challenger Thiago Alves.
Check Bookmaker’s Bektic-Martins odds for the latest money lines on each fighter, and expect Bektic to be the favorite going into the bout. This line might be pretty close though, as Bektic remains largely unproven at this point. In this three-round bout, the over/under is likely to be set at 2.5 rounds, with the over being slightly more expensive.
Bektic owns wins in both his UFC fights, with a majority decision over Chas Skelly at UFC on Fox 11 and a unanimous decision over Paul Redmond at UFC on Fox 14. Prior to the UFC, Bektic fought in smaller promotions such as TFC and Resurrection Fighting Alliance. With a in over a fellow prospect in Martins, Bektic could find himself facing a top-15 opponent sooner than later.
Martins is looking to bounce-back from a close split-decision loss to Darren Elkins at UFC 179. He’s 3-2 overall in the UFC, with his other loss coming to Edson Barboza. The Chute Box product seems destined to be a fighter that can be low-to-mid level fighters, but not quite good enough to get into the upper tier. However, at 26, Martins has plenty of time to improve.
If you bet with Bookmaker’s Bektic-Martins odds, the safe play here is Bektic. We still don’t know how good he can be, but just based on the eyeball test, his ceiling is higher than Martins. While the Lincoln, Nebraska native is still improving, Martins seems to reached his peak. It won’t be a pretty fight with Bektic’s grinding style, but it’s his fight to lose. The pick here is Bektic to win a unanimous decision.
