Faniil Rafikov gets massive 6.35 underdog odds vs Andrey Goncharov at Fight Nights 136

Fight Nights 136 takes place tomorrow in Rostov-on-Don, headlined by Faniil Rafikov (25-6) versus Andrey Goncharov (17-4). Bookmakers have given Rafikov staggering 6.35 odds, despite his three-year unbeaten streak and notable wins over Nariman Abbasov, Marif Piraev, Ahmed Aliev, Muhammad Kheibati, and Ray Cooper III. The fighters previously met seven years ago at featherweight, where Rafikov lost by knockout but performed well before the finish. The post author questions the extreme odds, noting they exceed even Sean Strickland's odds against Chimaev, and suggests the betting line is unjustified given Rafikov's recent form and quality opposition.
