Our prediction is compiled from the analysis of the fighters and is an indication of who we are leaning with to win this bout.
Our best bet is the play that we like the most for this fight or where the most value lies, and is where we would put some of our bankroll behind.Article contentCall it an awkward style match or lingering jitters, but we don’t see Murzakanov having the same struggles against a less dynamic opponent. It’s no oversight that Clark is seen as a gatekeeper of sorts: He doesn’t have the chin or viable ground defense when things go south for him.
In most scenarios of how this fight plays out, it just seems inevitable that Murzakanov overwhelms him up top and prevents the fight from hitting the mat. It is a step up for Murzakanov mainly due to Clark’s resume. All of those big names though? He floundered against them. Without the risk of a one-hit KO and Clark perhaps avoiding the ground altogether, the Russian can outwork his opponent by setting up a tempo he can’t follow.Article content
I like Murzakanov to put together a stronger performance here than he did against Nchukhi, and feel confident that he’ll pick up the victory.
