In the preliminary fights of UFC Fight Night 205, two Russians will contend for the win. Khizriev is the rightful favorite, as he has a perfect 13-0 record. Let’s see what the competitors will rely on in the octagon and which bets are worth paying attention to.
Aliaskhab Khizriev is a Russian fighter, undefeated; he has 13 wins in 13 fights. He has previously performed for organizations such as FNG, M-1 Global, and others.
Alisakhab made his way to the elite promotion of the world thanks to his successful performance at the Contender Series. Enrique Shigemoto submitted in 50 seconds. It happened in September 2020, and since then, Khizriev’s debut in the UFC has been postponed several times. To date, the fighter is 31 years old.
Denis Tyulyulin had 14 professional fights. In nine cases, he emerged victoriously and suffered five defeats. The lion’s share of victories was obtained by knockout.
Denis accepted the fight with Khizriev on short notice. For a Muscovite, this is a great chance to make himself known at such a high level. Previously, Denis has already tried his hand at foreign organizations such as UAE Warriors and Brave CF. Today the fighter is 33 years old.
Denis is a bigger guy; in general, Aliashub is too small for average weight. But this is the same case when the struggle can predetermine the outcome of the meeting. Tyulyulin is a pronounced drummer, objectively having problems in grappling. If Tyulyulin does not knock out his opponents in the starting segment of the battle, then in the future, he will have serious problems.
In general, Khizriev can compete with a future opponent in the standing position, but why take risks when you can transfer a dangerous knockout to the ground. In addition, Aliashub has a severe downtime of battles, so he will need time to build up. We think that the favorite will successfully overcome all difficulties and will be able to either submit the opponent or defeat him by technical knockout.
The forecast is a victory for Khizriev.
