Zabit Magomedsharipov
is a good well-rounded fighter with 2 UFC fights, winning both of them by way
of submission. He is also an excellent strikes, winning 6 of his 14 MMA fights
by way of knockout. Zabit has a striking accuracy of 59% in the UFC, landing 79
of 135 strikes. Zabit is a diverse striker with a variety of head kicks and
punches. Zabit is a very good ground fighter, with 6 of his 14 wins coming by
way of submission. Zabit also has good takedown defense, stopping 71% of
attempted takedowns against him in the UFC. Kyle Bochniak is a very aggressive
fighter, with a bulky frame. Kyle has won 2 of his 4 UFC fights, both by way of
decision. Kyle’s striking accuracy in the UFC is 33%, landing 149 of 456
strikes. Kyle has succeeded in 5 of his 23 takedown attempts in the UFC (22%),
and he has avoided 66% of takedowns. Kyle has only won 2 of his 8 UFC fights by
way of knockout. I believe that Zabit will win this fight by way of decision,
outstriking Kyle Bochniak and keeping him on the outside with his height and
reach advantage and kicks.
Prediction: Zabit Magomedsharipov

Devin Clark
is a good ground fighter, winning 2 of his 4 UFC fights both by way of
decision. Devin Clark won 3 of his 8 wins by way of knockout, with 1 of those
wins coming by way of submission. Devin Clark has good striking accuracy,
landing 144 of 271 strikes thrown (53%). Devin has good takedown defense,
avoiding 80% of takedowns against him in the UFC. Devin has a fighting style of
wrestling the opponent to the floor but with only 1 submission win in his MMA
career and none in his UFC career. Michael Rodriguez is an MMA fighter who is
making his UFC debut. Michael Rodriguez has won 7 of his 9 MMA fights by way of
knockout, all being in the first round. Michael Rodriguez has 2 submission wins
in his MMA career and he has only been to the third round once, where he lost
by unanimous decision. I believe that Devin Clark will wrestle Michael
Rodriguez to the ground and will win by decision. Devin Clark has more
experience and has faught tough fighters such as Jan Blachowicz, therefore I
think he will take the decision victory.
Prediction:
Devin Clark
