MONEYLINE | Alex Pereira (-130) |
These Pereira vs Hill odds only make this a tougher fight to bet on than it already is. After breaking down the film and the fight styles of these two elite UFC fighters, it’s clear that anything can happen in that octagon on Saturday night.
Pereira is a high-level kickboxer who likes to stay at a distance where he can land heavy leg kicks that are very difficult to defend, and force his opponent to either cross the distance and be in danger of a counter left hook or slowly break them down by cutting off the octagon.
Hill is a very good athlete. He played sports his whole life and it shows in his fighting style. He is long, fast, and very aggressive. There are even some rumors that his work ethic wasn’t great until he realized he was at the championship level. He continues to get better at everything and still holds elite speed and power in his hands.
This is a coin flip of a fight, but you really can’t bet against the power of Pereira right now. Hill isn’t far removed from a brutal achilles injury and that has to be a cause for concern.
If anything, Hill is going to force this into a war and someone is going to get out of there in the first 7 minutes.
