Fanil Rafikov massive underdog at 6.35 odds for Goncharov rematch at Fight Nights 136

Fanil Rafikov faces Andrey Goncharov in the main event of Fight Nights 136 on April 24th in Rostov-on-Don.

The two previously fought seven years ago at featherweight, with Goncharov winning by knockout, though Rafikov performed well before the finish. Rafikov is currently on a three-year unbeaten streak with notable victories over Nariman Abbasov, Marif Piraev, Ahmed Aliev, Muhammad Kheybati, and Ray Cooper III.
