Check out my best bet for Azamat Bekoev vs. Tresean Gore at tonight’s UFC Fight Night.
Azamat Bekoev to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (-145)
Bekoev won eight consecutive fights from November 2021 to May 2025, with five of them coming by finish. After winning his first two fights in the UFC by knockout, Bekoev suffered a loss to Yousri Belgaroui in his previous contest. Since competing on the Ultimate Fighter, Gore’s run in the UFC has had its ups and downs. He is seeking his first victory since November 2024.
In this contest, both fighters stand 6’0″ with Gore possessing a three-inch reach advantage (75″ vs. 72″). Bekoev averages more significant strides per minute and more takeaways per 15 minutes than. Gore does.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Bekoev is a -650 favorite with Gore being a +470 underdog. The over/under is set at 1.5 rounds, with the over being -180 and the under being +140.
As the odds suggest, this fight is a mismatch, as Bekoev is the better all-around fighter. I expect Bekoev to enter this bout more composed with a better game plan as he trains at American Top Team, one of the premier MMA gyms. Since he is such a big favorite, I’m taking him to win by a finish. 16 of Bekoev’s 20 career wins have come by submission or knockout.
