BETTING BOSS AI PREDICTION

CONFIDENCE: LOW (55%)

WINNER: YUSUP ZUBARIEV

A tough fight to call. Zubariev's wrestling usually dictates the pace in fights like this, making him the safer pick. However, "Sparta" is dangerous. We lean toward the home-field advantage (Russia) and wrestling control of Zubariev earning a tight decision.
