Fight prediction

Bivol has fought significantly better quality opposition in the past. However, the bout against Eifert will be his first in over a year. It will be interesting to see how Bivol fares after all that time off, something that was due to him having surgery last year. Expect Eifert to struggle against the reigning champion nonetheless. Bivol to win a clear unanimous decision.
