However, we think that there could be value in backing the Chinese fighter in this upcoming fight.</p> <p>Aoriqileng has dynamic striking with solid takedown defence and a hit-and-move approach due to his Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) background, which makes him a big threat to Gibson. The American is an experienced and technically skilled orthodox striker with strong grappling transitions, hence why this fight is expected to be close.</p> <p>Still, we think that it will go the distance, with a points victory for Aoriqileng our top betting prediction for this upcoming clash.</p>
