On the night of September 10-11, as part of the UFC 279 tournament, Khamzat Chimayev and Kevin Holland will come face to face in the co-main match of the evening. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Khamzat Chimaev (Sweden)
Khamzat Chimayev participated in several scandalous situations before his performance at the current tournament. He staged a brawl behind the scenes of the press conference, which turned into a mass brawl involving a large number of people. After that, a fighter from Russia with Swedish citizenship could not meet the welterweight limit, and this led to the disruption of the main fight against Diaz. But there are some advantages in this, because now he has met with Holland, with whom there is a certain conflict. At the moment, the 28-year-old athlete has played 11 matches in the UFC, and was able to win 11 victories, which indicates his excellent form.
Kevin Holland (USA)
The Swedish athlete expects to fight with Daniel Rodriguez at 180 pounds, but as a result he got to Hamzat on short notice, but the American himself, by the way, is not averse to fighting with a long-time offender. Stylistically, "Borz" is a completely inconvenient opponent for him. The "trailblazer" was easily fought by Brunson, Vettori and even Oliveira. And that already says about the athlete that for whom wrestling is the glossy side of possibilities. The 29-year-old athlete has 23 wins and 7 failures in professional fights, and now he is on a positive streak, including 2 wins in a row.
Forecast
I am sure that Chimaev will be able to win this fight, and he will do it in the 1-2 round. Our bet will be in favor of the Chechen, and his early victory.
