“I consider Arman the favorite,” Gadzhiev said in an interview. USACHEV TV. “Technically, both plus or minus correspond – both have a high class. More spectacular Armand, in my opinion. It’s just that Arman has already fought in big fights – he fought in a big fight with Islam, he fought in the main fight of the evening with Gamrot. Damir confidently deals with everyone, but has not yet reached the big fights, this is his first big fight. I don’t know if he’s psychologically ready to deal with it or not. Therefore, with a slight advantage, the favorite is still Tsarukyan.
“I think it will be a referee’s decision. Painfully both are good in terms of protection against early decisions. Both understand wrestling, and it’s not so easy to knock out in this weight, it’s a light weight after all. Therefore, I will bet on the victory of Tsarukyan by decision, and then we’ll see”
Recall that the fight between Ismagulov and Tsarukyan will be the second most important event of the UFC Fight Night 216 tournament, which will be held on Saturday night to Sunday in Las Vegas.
