Close Contest Expected with Stots vs Mix Betting Odds
Combined 36-2 Record at Bellator 295
Bookmakers have framed a close market with Stots vs Mix betting odds, which has Stots at -140 to win.
The Bellator 295 main event features fighters with only one loss each on their records, so they’re the best the bantamweight division has to offer.
The title is on the line in Hawaii, and it’s the clear highlight of Bellator 295 fight night.
Stots Right in the Slot
Raufeon Stots is one of the best to ever do it in Bellator, and he’s the worthy favorite.
Despite never adding his name to a quality list of UFC fighters, Stots found his home at Bellator and he’s happy to be there.
The 34-year-old is 19-1 following a string of wins, including beating Danny Sabatello, Juan Archuleta, and Magomed Magomedov.
His knockout win over Archuleta came early in the third round with a head kick and elbows, so it was a dynamic victory, which makes him a dangerous fighter.
He believes his hard work is starting to pay off.
“I feel like everything is coming full circle now, all my hard work, all my dedication is starting to, like, really pay off,” Stots said. “You know, I’ve always kind of got accolades racked up wins, and racked up accomplishments. Now it seems like everything is, paying off for me and my family.”
A win on Saturday sees his winning streak improve to 12, with his only loss coming to Merab Dvalishvili in 2017 at Ring of Combat.
Stots vs Mix betting odds have the favorite at -140, which is a fair price for the champion. He has shown no signs of slowing down, so bettors should bet on him with confidence.
Mix Brings Wrestling Prowess
Patrick Mix could have given up on his title hopes following a loss to Juan Archuleta in 2020, but we love the way he bounced back with four consecutive wins.
The 29-year-old got back on the winning train with a victory over Albert Morales, before beating James Gallagher, Kyoji Horiguchi, and Magomedov.
His win over Magomedov holds him in good stead for this fight, especially if he can take the back of Stots.
The win came via a guillotine choke, which he has used in three of his last five victories. That’s the danger presented to Stots, and if Mix can close the gap and take Stots to the ground, the +110 could look good.
He’s a +110 chance with Stots vs Mix betting odds because of his wrestling prowess. We can’t see him landing a big blow, but after five rounds, wrestlers often have the advantage because of their control time.
The Angolan wants the $1 million prize, which is on the line for Saturday’s winner.
“We always figured that we would not end up fighting each other unless it was for the belt,” Mix said.
“We didn’t really want to push that fight together unless we had to, and now we have to. At the end of the day, he’s a competitor, I’m a competitor, we’re both game and we’re both trying to get that million dollars. It’s nothing but respect. He’s dangerous and so am I.”
