Yuri Panferov, although Russian, fans of mixed martial arts from Russia do not know him very well. Panferov lives in the United States, where he moved with his family as a child, and is building his sports career overseas. His nickname is the Polar Bear, and he always goes to fights in the skin of this animal.
In professional MMA, Yuri has had six fights (in CES MMA, Reality Fighting, and Combat Zone leagues). In each bout, he claimed an early victory in the first round. He also wins more often by submission.
Torrez Finney
Torrez Finney, 24, has won most of his fights by knockout and is undefeated in his career. Like Panferov, he has also competed in some other local American leagues and made his professional debut only recently - just last year.
Expert Betting Tips
Both fighters are still inexperienced, and this bout is crucial for each of them. At the same time, it is evident that Panferov's skills in the parterre are much better. All things being equal, as we know, a wrestler always has an advantage over a puncher. A solid height and arm reach edge will help Yuri avoid trouble in standing. At the same time, an early end of the fight is very likely.
