Anthony Hernandez vs Michel Pereira. Predictions and bets for the UFC Fight Night 244 tournament

Tonight in Las Vegas, USA, UFC Fight Night 245 will take place. This will be the final non-numbered event before UFC 308, scheduled for next weekend.

The main event of the evening is a non-title, five-round middleweight bout (up to 83.9 kg) between American Anthony Hernandez and Brazilian Michel Pereira.

The bookmakers have not designated a clear favorite, although they slightly favor the Brazilian fighter. The odds for Pereira's victory stand at 1.7, while Hernandez is given 2.1.

Analysts overwhelmingly predict the fight will end before the full five rounds, with the odds for an early finish set at 1.2, and for the bout going the distance at 4.2. The most likely outcome is a first-round finish, with odds at 2.7. As the fight progresses, the odds for a stoppage increase: a second-round finish at 4.8, third round at 6.2, fourth round at 7.8, and the final round at 9.5.

The most likely methods of victory are by submission or choke at 2.2, or by knockout at 2.3. A judges' decision is considered unlikely, with odds of 5.0 for that outcome.
