Splits: 55% of handle, 59% of bets on Mitchell

As long as the fight stays in stand up it's going to be a good thing for Topuria, who has far superior kickboxing skills and a healthier stand-up game. Mitchell is going to try to get the fight to the ground quickly where you could see some entertaining grappling on both ends. If Mitchell gets too aggressive and careless with the shoots and takedown attempts, it's going to play into Topuria's hands because he has enough of a takedown game to compete with Mitchell. If Mitchell stays sharp with his shots he could take this one on the scorecards, but this will be a close fight that could go either way.
