Nikolay Veretennikov vs Punahele Soriano — DeepSeek betting tip 04 October 2025.
Punahele Soriano
Win Away
1.31
This matchup heavily favors Punahele Soriano despite Nikolay Veretennikov's tempting underdog odds. Soriano (1.31) brings significant advantages: UFC-level experience against far tougher competition, legitimate knockout power in both hands (6 KO/TKOs), and a strong wrestling base. While Veretennikov (3.64) boasts a significant height and reach advantage and a solid judo background, his regional circuit record lacks the caliber of opponents Soriano regularly faces.
Soriano's pressure fighting style is key here. He walks opponents down relentlessly, cutting off the cage effectively – a major problem for Veretennikov, who has shown defensive flaws when moving backwards. Veretennikov's tall frame can make him susceptible to leg kicks and body shots, areas where Soriano excels. Veretennikov's judo throws require clinch entries, but Soriano's compact strength and wrestling acumen should stifle most takedown attempts.
Durability also leans towards Soriano. He's never been stopped by strikes, showing a solid chin at the UFC level. Veretennikov, while skilled offensively, hasn't consistently faced power punchers of Soriano's caliber. The path to victory for Veretennikov involves perfect distance management and landing significant strikes early, a high-risk strategy against Soriano's pressure.
The odds accurately reflect Soriano's status as the rightful favorite. While Veretennikov's underdog price offers intrigue, Soriano's proven power, superior strength of schedule, and pressure make him the clear, safer pick for a profitable outcome. The 1.31 odds demand bankroll consideration, but his advantages are substantial.
