Emelianenko vs Santos: bookmakers set the favorite

Brazilian MMA Fighter Marcio Santos opened as a favorite in a duel with a Russian veteran Alexander Emelianenko, which will take place on November 27 at the AMC Fight Nights tournament in Syktyvkar.

Thus, the bookmaker BetCity estimates the odds of Santos winning at 1.60. A similar figure towards Emelianenko is 2.20.

It is worth noting that Emelianenko accepted the fight with Santos nine days before the tournament. Initially, Vyacheslav Vasilevsky was supposed to become a rival of the Brazilian, but the Russian withdrew from the fight due to health problems.

Emelianenko spent his last fight on September 18, defeating Artyom Tarasov on points. The meeting was held according to the rules of fist fighting with gloves for MMA.

As for Santos, the last time the Brazilian appeared in the cage was in August - the fight against Artur Huseynov ended in a draw.
