The second UFC Fight Night card of 2025 takes place in the anb Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya looks to get back on track against tough Frenchman Nassourdine Imavov.

It’s why we’ve found some good value in the MMA tips & best bets below:

  • Israel Adesanya to Win (1.62)
  • Shara Magomedov by KO/TKO (3.75)
  • Sergei Pavlovich by KO/TKO (1.40)
  • Shamil Gaziev to Win (1.29)

Israel Adesanya (#2) v Nassourdine Imavov (#8) - Middleweight

👊🏻 Israel Adesanya to Win (1.62)

At odds of 1.62, it's hard to back against a returning Israel Adesanya for this Riyadh main event. Despite Adesanya coming off the back of two losses in a row, he still has the ability to read opponents and counter effectively, which makes him dangerous against aggressive, front-foot fighters like Nassourdine Imavov. Imavov lacks experience against elite competition, despite some impressive victories over the likes of Brendan Allen and former title contender Jared Cannonier. Imavov will surely look to bring this fight to the ground, and press Adesanya, in the same way, Sean Strickland did in his victory over 'The Last Stylebender', Counter strikes will be key and while it would be a surprise to see Adesanya get a finish, backing him at 1.62 to win on the nose seems an attractive price in a must-win for the former champion.

Shara Magomedov (#14) v Michael Page (#15 WW) - Middleweight

👊🏻 Shara Magomedov by KO/TKO (3.75)

A battle between two of the most technically skilled strikers in the UFC, as Shara Magomedov goes toe-to-toe with the ever-popular Michael 'Venom' Page. At 15-0 with 12 KOs, it's surprising to see the Russian priced at 3.75 to KO former Bellator champion 'MVP'. At 37, Page is not the fighter he was a decade ago, and cut a frustrated figure in his decision loss to Ian Machado Garry back in June, whilst Magomedov is coming off the back of a stunning KO of Armen Petrosyan in October. The key to 'Shara Bullet's' victory will be keeping the high guard and sharp head movement. Page is an elite counter striker so he will have to bide his time, and utilize the unorthodox striking that saw him KO Petrosyan in stunning style. He needs to press MVP in order to give him no time to breathe, and in doing so, walk him down into a KO/TKO finish.

Sergei Pavlovich (#4) v Jairzinho Rozenstruik (#9) - Heavyweight

👊🏻 Sergei Pavlovich by KO/TKO (1.40)

Sergei Pavlovich’s power, precision, and aggressive striking style make him a serious threat to Jairzinho "Bigi Boy" Rozenstruik, and odds of 1.40 for the Russian to KO Rozenstruik seem attractive. Despite coming off back to back losses, Pavlovich’s 85 inch reach could play a massive role in this bout and he is still considered the bigger power puncher of the two. While Rozenstruik has elite kickboxing credentials and knockout power of his own, he has struggled against pressure fighters who push forward relentlessly. Pavlovich’s ability to overwhelm opponents could exploit Rozenstruik’s tendency to be passive against aggressive strikers. Expect Pavlovich to close the distance quickly, force Rozenstruik against the cage, and unleash his signature right hand. With his knockout ratio and relentless finishing instinct, Pavlovich is likely to land clean and put "Bigi Boy" to sleep.

Shamil Gaziev (#14) v Thomas Petersen - Heavyweight

👊🏻 Shamil Gaziev to Win (1.29)

Shamil Gaziev has developed somewhat of a cult following on the internet in recent months. His doughy physique and deadpan look have made him meme gold for MMA Twitter, but he is still a ranked heavyweight after all. The Russian number 14 in the world does battle with Thomas Petersen in this heavyweight bout, and the bookmakers have Gaziev as short as 1.29 to win this one. They are odds that shouldn't be sniffed at. Shamil Gaziev's size, power, and relentless pressure make him a dangerous opponent for Peterson. Gaziev is known for his gas tank and durability, and will very much fancy his chances especially if the fight extends beyond the first round. This selection may be the shortest odds of this accumulator, but a safe bet to take us to just under 10/1 overall.
