Sean Strickland vs. Nassourdine Imavov Prediction
What screams hilarity right off the bat is the fact that Strickland ended 2022 for the UFC in their final event of the season, only for him to come galloping back in order to save January's first card and become the very first-ever individual to main event in back-to-back events for the organization.Â
Primarily known for his 1920s-era style of gentleman boxing, Strickland is actually a high-level jiu-jitsu black belt when he chooses to use it, utilizing it on full display over the likes of Uriah Hall when it goes and gets tough. Although not generally known for his grappling offense, what can be taken note of is his takedown defense, holding an impressive 85 percent rate acumen over the course of his extraneous UFC career. He faces Nassourdine Imavov for all of the marbles come Saturday night.
Being tumultuously billed as "The Russian Sniper" this French- Dagestani is a Jack of all trades master of none fighter, utilizing a multitude of different skills and repertoires but having no real concurrent base when it comes down to brass tacks.Â
What I mean by this is that his striking can look refined and smooth, but at the cost of his cardio and overall sharpness. He can display some okay wrestling, but against the likes of pure strikers and then some. The way I see it is if this fight wasn't extremely short notice the savvy veteran Strickland would take this all day every day until the cows come home. Because that's not the case however and this spectacle has been assembled in less than five whole business days, play the over 2.5 in order to take a side out of the equation and watch them duke it out over the course of the full 25 minutes.
