Zachary Reese vs. Eli Aronov: Dana White’s UFC Contender Series Week 3 Odds & Picks

Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady dominated George Hardwick to a unanimous decision at +240. This week, we have another solid card to choose from. Let’s dive in!

Dana White's Contender Series Season 7 Odds, Picks & Predictions (Episode 3)

Middleweight: Zachary Reese (-166) vs Eli Aronov (+130)

Eli Aronov has a record of 6-0 with 2 KOs/TKOs, 2 submissions, and 2 decisions. He last competed in Unified MMA and had a second-round finish via Arm Triangle Choke. Aronov recently competed in IWCC (grappling competition) and had a first-round finish via Arm Triangle Choke. He fights out of MMA Spirit where he and his brother, Rafael Aronov, are their most seasoned fighters.

Zachary Reese has a record of 5-0 with 4 KOs/TKOs and 1 submission. Reese has four finishes inside the 90-second mark and has never seen a second round. He is 3-0 in Fury FC with 2 KOs/TKOs and 1 submission. Reese fights out of WAR Training Center, which has produced three professional fighters: Trevin Giles (UFC), Anthony Ivy (PFL), and Rakim Cleveland (Bellator).

Reese is the naturally-bigger fighter coming down from Light Heavyweight several fights ago and has dynamite in his hands. If this fight makes it to a second-round, Aronov will have the advantage but I just do not see that happening.

Bet: Zachary Reese (-166)
