JefeBet Prediction
Taking everything into account, JefeBet‘s bet on Ciaran Clarke vs Rafael Hudson leans towards the former. Although Rafael Hudson is a fighter with a longer career and a great track record, his recent fights have not been favorable. In contrast, Clarke, although younger, has had some great performances recently.
Regardless of the final outcome, this matchup will be a great show for those who enjoy mixed martial arts, plus the fight will take place in the middle of a fantastic night of Bellator 285.
Prediction: Ciaran Clarke wins by decision.
