Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 –
Timur’s opponent in front is very experienced, but he’s old. Khizriev will be just as good as his opponent in any aspect of MMA. We think the Dagestanian will move his opponent to the ground unhindered and look for ways to finish there.
This is “The Imam’s” first appearance overseas, hence he intends to give the most convincing performance possible.
Daniel Weichel is 37 years old, an experienced German fighter with 55 fights in the professional ranks. He has 42 wins and 13 losses. He used to hold M-1 title and win Bellator Grand Prix. Now his career of “Drake” is very close to coming to the end. In his last fights he alternated between wins and losses, defeated in his last fight by technical knockout over Scottish Robert “The Hammer” Whiteford.
Weichel is a 100% mixed martial arts adapted fighter. His background includes skills in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Thai boxing, boxing, freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. He has defeated 22 opponents by submission.
Fighter from Makhachkala, Timur Khizriev has 11 winning fights in his record. “Imam” is known for his performances in EFC, AMC Fight Nights Global, BYE and other promotions. Became the winner of the 2019 Berkut Grand Prix. He defeated then not unknown Russian Bibert “The Headhunter” Tumenov in the fight for gold. The fighter today is 26 years old.
Timur is a versatile fighter who perfectly combines striking with wrestling. He usually outclasses his opponents on points, locking them up in the ground and meeting them with hard counter-punches in the standing position.
