Game Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick
The following moneyline from MyBookie is showing that Denis Goltsov is a heavy favorite to win this matchup. Incorporating Goltsov into a parlay bet with other matches scheduled for the evening could potentially yield greater advantages, as opposed to selecting him individually to win since his odds are so high.
Jordan Heiderman : +550
Denis Goltsov: -750

Heiderman has battled against solid fighters, but no one has over six wins at the time of the battle. This is arguably a mismatch in terms of experience and fighting styles since Goltsov has a lot to like here. Overall, look for Goltsov to end this battle early, likely by knockout.
