He already had seven significant strikes when he was able to secure the win. Magomedev is someone who was noticed by the UFC when he was apart of the PFL. This is a big step up in competition for Magomedev and if he were to secure a win here. Magomedev is a strong wrestler and that is somewhere that he could have an advantage here. 

Shane’s Free Pick

This is a big step up in competition for Magomedev, but I think he’s going to find success here. Magomedev has a ton of power in his hands, and he is also a good wrestler, although he didn’t have to use that in his first fight. Magomedev is going to use his power early in this fight and that is going to be enough to get the job done. Back Magomedev to pull the upset
