Magomed Gadzhiyasulov vs Bruno Lopes, UFC Fight Night

Magomed Gadzhiyasulov is a very dynamic and technical fighter with a foundational style in Sambo. He utilizes his striking and calf kicks during the early rounds to patiently study his opponent before going for a knockout.

Lopes has 13 wins and 1 loss and is coming off a victory against Mikheil Sazhiniani on August 13, 2024, in the Contender Series. He is a forward-pressure striker but is slower than Magomed. Unfortunately, he has poor takedown defense, which often puts him in the wrong position.

In this fight, we see Magomed Gadzhiyasulov taking the action to the ground whenever he gets the chance, which can be extremely dangerous for Bruno Lopez. For that reason, Magomed Gadzhiyasulov is my pick in this matchup.
