Zachary Reese: The Savage looking for third win in a row
Zachary Reese (8-1) has won his last two fights and he will be hoping to really kick on in the middleweight division in 2025. His only loss came to Cody Brundage back in December 2023 and he has bounced back well from that knockout loss. He now faces Dumas looking to make it three wins in a row as he looks to continue his rise in the middleweight division.
Azamat Bekoev: King Pin handed golden opportunity at late notice
Azamat Bekoev (18-3) is a late replacement for Sedriques Dumas and the LFA middleweight champion is looking to take advantage of this golden opportunity. The Russian is riding a six-fight win streak and has not lost a fight since 2021. He has defended his belt twice and now gets the chance to step up in the UFC on a major card and takes on Zachary Reese.
Zachary Reese vs Azamat Bekoev Prediction
This bout was a late change to the UFC 311 card and Sedriques Dumas’ withdrawal has handed a fantastic opportunity to LFA middleweight champion Azamat Bekoev.
Bekoev is on a real run of victories and has been beating allcomers in the LFA but now faces a step up in quality in the world’s leading promotion.
Reese will be a tough challenge for Bekoev but the Russian has to be favoured to get the win. It will be interesting to see how far he can go in the UFC but Bekoev has so many ways to win, we expect him to get the victory here.
Prediction: Azamat Bekoev to win
