Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan, UFC Fight Night 149
Lightweight contender Islam Makhachev returns to the Octagon when he chooses on UFC newcomer Arman Tsarukyan in UFC Fight Night 149. Igor Lazorin broke the news. Makhachev (16-1) has gone 5-1 complete from the Octagon and is currently riding a four-fight win streak which includes back-end stoppage wins over Gleison Tibau and Kajan Johnson. Tsarukyan (13-1) is only 22 and has finished 10 fights, such as a brutal head kick KO win over former UFC fighter Felipe Olivieri in his final outing. He has won 12 straight fights including victories over other former UFC fighters Junior Assuncao and Takenori Sato. Though Makhachev is a huge gift and will certainly be a significant favorite here, I had been impressed looking into Tsarukyan and give him a decent prospect of making this battle competitive.
Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk , UFC Fight Night 149
Light heavyweights Gadzhimurad Antigulov and Michal Oleksiejczuk will meet at a fight that’s unlikely to go three complete rounds. Antigulov (20-5) is 2-1 in the UFC but has been knocked out in barbarous fashion by Ion Cutelaba in his final outing. Oleksiejczuk (13-2, 1 NC) recently returned from a yearlong USADA suspension to score a TKO win over Gian Villante. Both men are treacherous fighters, however I expect Oleksiejczuk to be greatly favored here.
Magomed Mustafaev vs Rafael Fiziev, UFC Fight Night 149
Lightweights Magomed Mustafaev and Rafael Fiziev are put to battle at this event. Mustafaev (13-2) won his first two fights in the UFC but had been submitted by Kevin Lee back in November 2016 and hasn’t fought since. Fiziev (6-0) has completed all six of his expert bouts such as a head kick KO win in Titan FC his last time out. Although Russian fighters get respect from bettors, dependent on Mustafaev’s extended layoff and Fiziev’s undefeated record, I expect Fiziev to be a large favorite here.
Movsar Evloev vs. Seung Woo Choi, UFC Fight Night 149
Bantamweight prospects Movsar Evloev and Seung Woo Choi are also set to battle. Evloev (10-0) was a champion in M-1 and seems to be on the Petr Yan fast-track into the UFC’s top-15 rankings. Choi (7-1) has won five of his pro fights by knockout and is making his UFC debut. Both men appear to be strong prospects but given Evloev’s undefeated record he is surely going to be the favorite here.
Krzysztof Jotko vs. Alen Amedovski
Middleweights Krzysztof Jotko and Alen Amedovski are set to fight. Denis Geyko broke the information. Jotko (19-4) was at one time an up-and-coming middleweight competition but has fallen on hard times as of late with three straight losses, including consecutive TKO defeats to Brad Tavares and Uriah Hall. Amedovski (8-0) is fighting from Macedonia and has won all eight of his pro fights by knockout with his past two wins coming in Bellator. Amedovski seems like quite a promising prospect and also given the deteriorating condition of Jotko’s chin, I’d go with the newcomer here.
