Jalin Fuller vs. Daniel Frunza Betting Analysis
Jalin Fuller
Fuller is a 30-year-old fighter with a lot of traditional martial arts skills. Fuller started in late 2019 but has improved rapidly, with great regional performances. Fuller’s professional MMA record is 7-3, with three TKO/KO wins and three submissions.
With a Tae Kwondo style, Fuller is very dangerous with his left kicks and left hand. He is a lengthy fighter, standing at 6’2”, and has an impressive 80.5” reach. This is a big test for him against a very skilled and tough Romanian fighter.
Daniel Frunza
Frunza is making his United States debut traveling all the way from Romania and Italy, holding a professional record of 5-2 with four TKO/KO wins. Both of his losses have been by way of rear-naked choke.
At 29 years old, Frunza is looking for an impressive performance to put him in a title fight in LFA, which could then lead him to an opportunity at a bigger promotion. He stands at 6’1” with a lesser reach than his opponent but has a lot of power in his hands.
Updates
No injuries have been reported to LFA.
Jalin Fuller vs. Daniel Frunza Betting Preview
The Fuller vs Frunza betting analysis is one thing to look at, but you need to go over all the available betting lines of these regional fights to make the best MMA picks tonight.
According to the best MMA odds available, Fuller is a big -335 betting favorite over Frunza at +275. The under 1.5 round total is favored at -180 as well. The fight is actually +300 to go the distance, which is pretty surprising.
These kinds of matchups are very difficult to make MMA picks for because both fighters have so little experience, and one of them is coming from the other side of the planet. We don’t have much info on Frunza, but his most recent fight on YouTube shows some solid skills that he possesses.
Fuller has a very good southpaw, traditional Tae Kwondo style, where he whips his left kick at all three levels and tends to hurt his opponent with that weapon in almost every bout. In his title fight, he hurt Waters multiple times, but he just got caught by a big counter right hand. Fuller needs to be more defensively responsible when he engages in front of his opponent.
Jalin Fuller vs. Daniel Frunza Betting Prediction
After breaking down the Fuller vs Frunza betting analysis and previewing the betting odds, it’s time to make a prediction.
Even with the uncertainty of Fuller’s chin and how he will match up with a durable fighter like Frunza, you can’t bet against Fuller in this one. Take him to win via TKO at +225 for a fun underdog bet tonight.
Frunza hasn’t fought anybody with the speed and power of Fuller. Fuller’s kicks will be the biggest key tonight–if he can hurt Frunza to the leg and body, that will set up his head kick very nicely.
