Even though he’s coming off a loss in his previous match, Sadykhov remains the betting favorite heading into the match with -210 UFC odds, while Camilo, who’s fresh off a victory, is going to be the +170 betting underdog.

UFC Baku: Nazim Sadykhov vs. Matheus Camilo: Prediction
With the crisp and powerful combinations of Camilo, I predict a TKO/KO victory for him over Sadykhov. His aggressiveness should be a key factor in this match, as it could help him land a very damaging strike if he lets go of his hands.
If he can trust his combinations, Camilo might have to cover up and just defend Sadykhov’s flurry. The only thing that can stop Sadykhov from taking over the fight against Camilo is the takedown and grappling scrambles.
Camilo has decent wrestling and takedown ability, which could make Sadykhov second-guess his own offense. But I still think Sadykhov will overwhelm Camilo with volume and eventually secure the stoppage victory.
