Hermansson vs Pyfer Betting Preview

It's hard to evaluate Pyfer's limited UFC action, but he's a beast. He faces his toughest test Saturday vs Hermansson.

How to bet Hermansson vs Pyfer

The odds tell a story of an up-and-comer ready to blast his way through a gatekeeper like Hermansson. That's right on the money.

Pyfer is a strike-first brawler with a savvy grappling background, regularly competing in pro grappling tournaments outside the UFC. "Bodybagz" is calm in the cage but can lash out with some furious hooks or ground and pound.

Hermansson is aging poorly, now sporting a 3-4 record in his last seven UFC contests. He was finished in his last bout vs Roman Dolidze in December 2022. 

Given each fighter's penchant for their bouts ending early, the books expect this one to wrap up UNDER 2.5 rounds. Again, that's very fair, and I reckon it'll be Pyfer laying the beating.

Hermansson vs Pyfer Pick

Hermansson has slowed, he's 35 years old and hasn't fought in over a year. Pyfer is younger and more explosive, plus he's riding a three-stoppage streak all UNDER 1.5 rounds.

Why mess with a good thing? I'll bet Pyfer to win inside the distance — because a submission is possible — along with the UNDER 1.5 rounds.

Pick: Pyfer inside the distance (TBD); UNDER 1.5 Rounds
