Expert Betting Tips
We can start with the fact that Armen is weak in the ground, and Dobson is a basic grappler, but it doesn't change anything. The American is a very bad handler, and Petrosyan has been training for the whole summer just to defend himself from the ground. There's nothing to say about the standup, Dobson doesn't have even a hint of a chance here.
Our prediction: Petrosyan will win for around 1.45 or by KO/TKO at higher stakes.
