Bellator 271 Betting Odds | MMA Analysis

Steve Mowry (-720) Vs Rakim Cleveland (+510)

The big boys will be stepping into the octagon first for a Heavyweight bout that seems unlikely to go the distance. Mowry comes in as a pretty heavy favorite and will be looking to extend his perfect pro record, which currently sits at 9-0. At 22-13-1, Cleveland has a ton of experience behind him, plus he is on a nice run of form, winning each of his last 3 fights. I don’t think Cleveland will be able to keep that streak alive, though, as I like Mowry for the submission win.

Arlene Blencowe (-355) Vs Pam Sorenson (+285)

Next up, we have a Featherweight bout featuring a pair of very good female fighters. Both have been in very good form of late, with Blencowe coming into this bout with a 14-8 record that includes a run that has seen her win 4 of her last 5. It has been the same run of form for Sorenson, who also has 4 wins in her last 5 fights to take her pro mark to 9-3. I think there is a good chance that this one goes the distance, with Blencowe getting the win.

Aaron Pico (-345) Vs Justin Gonzales (+275)

The next bout on the main card if a Featherweight bout, where one of these fighters will be putting their unbeaten record on the line. Pico comes in with an 8-3 career mark and a solid run of form that has seen him win each of his last 4 fights. Gonzales is the man with the perfect record, going 12-0 to start his pro career, but this is arguably his toughest fight yet. I think Pico keeps his winning streak going with a KO win in this one.

Tyrell Fortune (-190) Vs Linton Vassell (+160)

As the odds clearly show, this Heavyweight bout is the most evenly matched bout on the main card. Fortune is 11-1 and is on a 3-fight winning streak, as well as another fight that ended in a No Contest after his first pro loss. Vassell is 21-8 and working on getting back into a positive run of form after a 3-fight losing streak. He has won 2 in a row, but it looks as though he might be in trouble here, as I have Fortune with the KO win.

Cris Cyborg (-4500) Vs Sinead Kavanagh (+1550)

The night closes out with a Featherweight Title Fight that might not last very long, if we are being totally honest. Cyborg is 24-2 and is the current champion. She has dominated since arriving in Bellator, winning all 3 of her fights inside the distance. She is much more experienced than Kavanagh, who is 7-4 and coming into this fight on the heels of 2 straight wins. I think Cyborg gets the job done quickly in this fight.
