|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Favourite call, market price 79.5%. Topuria · to win | Gaethje · KO/TKO R4 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Sanko agrees that Gaethje will have moments, but expects Topuria to rise to the occasion and take over with speed. Her framing is that the fight gets competitive in patches before Topuria's pace and precision separate him. “I think Ilia rises to the occasion even more and gets the better of him.” Favourite call. The market gave this fighter 79.5% before the fight, from a price reconstructed after the fact from Polymarket’s public trading history. Favourite calls earn no underdog credit. | |||||
| Favourite call, market price 52.5%. Pereira · to win | Gane · KO/TKO R2 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Sanko also sides with Pereira, calling him the more reliable winner. Her view is that Gane may look good early, but Pereira's steadier form and ability to take over later make him the likelier winner. “I am too, actually.” Favourite call. The market gave this fighter 52.5% before the fight, from a price reconstructed after the fact from Polymarket’s public trading history. Favourite calls earn no underdog credit. | |||||
