Amir Albazi vs. Alessandro Costa Betting Prediction

Amir Albazi was originally set to face Alex Perez, the No.6-ranked flyweight, and then Brandon Royval, the No.4-ranked flyweight, however, both opponents were forced to withdraw. Instead, the No.8-ranked flyweight will face Alessandro Costa in his promotional debut. While Costa has been successful in his mixed martial arts career, he has not had a challenge like Albazi. Look for Albazi to extend his winning streak to five fights. Additionally, expect him to finish the fight in less than two and a half rounds.
