Pyfer Punches For Title Shot With a Dramatic Finish
If you want to make it in the UFC, you’ll have to speak UFC President Dana White’s language; win by knockout. Pyfer did as he starched his opponent in season 6 of Dana White’s Contender Series back in 2022. From here, he’s earned several finishes and is on the cusp of a title shot if he can impress the “boss” again.
That’s always been on Pyfer’s mind since he debuted. He knocked Alen Amedovski out in his first UFC fight, hopped on the mic, and thanked Dana White.
“I told [Shelby] I need to talk to him because I need to thank him because he gave me a home for a year. He gave me money on the side of [DWCS]. And that secured me being able to have a place to live for the next year, in the house of Dana,” Pyfer said during his post-fight interview.
Pyfer has now earned two performance bonuses and could get another one here if he finishes Hermansson. The Hermansson vs Pyfer UFC odds favor him and the ‘under’ 2.5 rounds at -155. This implies that Pyfer will beat Hermansson before the halfway mark. It’s either a KO or a submission (-175). He can do both.
But Hermansson is a significant step up for Pyfer. The Swede has shared the octagon with former champions and title challengers. He’s also 2-2 as an underdog, so he has profitable UFC results in this role.
Indeed, if Hermansson can win this next UFC fight, he may just find himself close to the top five again. To do that, he’ll need to outmaneuver Pyfer. But as the lines suggest, the American is more likely to put him in a body bag.
Dan Ige Leads Undercard of Heavy Hitters
Pyfer is not the only knockout threat in this Fight Night. There can be plenty of value when we bet the knockout props on the Hermansson vs Pyfer UFC odds. Dan Ige could just one-punch Andre Fili in the co-main event. He’s listed at -170 to win, with a knockout prop at +250. Two of his last three victories came via a one-punch KO.
Renowned knockout artists like Michael Johnson and Jeremiah Wells are also featured in this event. Johnson is a 28-fight UFC veteran and holds a KO win over former interim champion Dustin Poirier. He’s slightly favored (-140) over Darrius Flowers, who is coming off of three straight TKO victories. The total is rightly set at 1.5 rounds, as the first clean shot one lands could end the fight.
As for Wells, the UFC fighter has finished three of his four UFC wins, including a left hook KO over a tough veteran in Court McGee. He looks to bounce back as the -155 favorite over Max Griffin, who is also coming off a loss against the unbeaten Michael Morales.
Also on the card is the debuting Robert Bryczek of Poland. Like many Polish fighters, Bryczek packs solid power, with 11 of his 17 victories coming by way of knockout. He’s nearly -200 to win on the odds against Igor Potieria, who has lost three of his four UFC bouts. His only win came against the fading Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
