He enters with long odds after being stopped by KO in his last two fights by superior punchers; something that Zhang is. Still, he’s athletic and has fight-changing power. If he can channel his best, he could pose the native trouble in the Octagon.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zhang will make life difficult, as he has 12 straight wins, 9 by KO/TKO (most in round 1) and rarely takes damage (was only hit 10 times by Anthony Smith in a 4-minute fight).</p> <p>The heavyweight scrap between <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/ufc-mma/ufc-matches/sergei-pavlovich-v-waldo-cortes-acosta-9521507">Sergei Pavlovich and Waldo Cortes-Acosta</a> could also offer betting value, especially when backing the athlete from the Dominican Republic. He is accomplished in the Octagon and could exploit the Russian’s cardio flaws. If he can, a KO victory could be on the cards, despite being perceived as an underdog in this upcoming fight.</p>
