Reed Kuhn's betting tip
"Neither fighter is an eager wrestler, but Kattar's numbers are a little better there, as is his strength of competition. The biggest red flag for an upset is Emmett's power, with 11 career knockdowns and a knockdown rate that holds up compared to larger divisions. However, that requires him to get close enough to take advantage of Kattar's loose defense."
