This fight is evenly matched; however, Evloev looks to be the best betting option.

Further, Evloev has the clear edge in grappling ability, which tends to be the difference in most of his UFC fights. Volkanovski, on the other hand, is only 3-3 over his last 6 UFC fights, so even though he currently holds the UFC Featherweight title, backing Evloev to win will be our best bet.
