UFC on ESPN 38 co-main event
The fight will take place on June 26 in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) at the UFC Apex and will be the co-main event of the UFC on ESPN 38 (or UFC Vegas 57) tournament. Estimated start of the battle – 07:00 Kyiv time. The fight will be broadcast live on Setanta Sports.
No. 15 UFC Welterweight Prospect Shavkat Rakhmonov (15-0) will fight No. 10 No. 10 highly experienced Neil Magny (26-8).
The first Kazakh in UFC history, Rakhmonov finished all three of his UFC opponents. Alex Oliveira and Michel Prazeres he forced to surrender, and Carlston Harris in February of this year, beautifully knocked out in the first round.
Magny is on a two win streak. In May 2021, he defeated Jeff Neal by unanimous decision, and in March 2022, the UFC veteran defeated Max Griffin by a split verdict. Magny’s record is 5-1 in his last six fights.
Prediction for the fight
Two universal fighters will meet in a cage, one of which is just gaining momentum.
Magny is still good and capable, good on the stand and strong on the ground. But it seems that Rakhmonov is on a completely different level as a fighter. Despite the fact that Magny is the most serious test in his career for him, we predict that the fighter from Kazakhstan will once again show himself to be an excellent finisher and will not put this matter on the back burner.
On the stand, Rakhmonov will probably have an easier time with Magny than on the surface, so we predict a knockout.
