Shara Magomedov vs Michal Oleksiejczuk UFC preview on ABC 7
The undefeated Magomedov (13-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has a chance to break through in co-headlining after winning his first two UFC matches. “Bullet” defeated Bruno Silva via unanimous decision last October, before coming back to submit Antonio Trócoli in June. … leksiejczuk (19-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) enters the fight on a losing streak and having lost three of his last four.
Shara Magomedov vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk UFC on ABC 7 Expert Pick, Prediction
Despite being better known for his dubious actions outside the cage than inside it, Magomedov is being rewarded with a spot in the co-main event in just his third UFC appearance. Behind the matchmakers on the other side of what is an obvious storefront is Oleksiejczuk.
Oleksiejczuk is a staple action fighter for the promotion, but the Pole is on a clear skid, losing 3 of his last 4 fights.
While Oleksiejczuk’s left-handed pressure could produce some real problems for Magomedov’s sharp-shooting style, I can’t help but suspect that “Shara Bullet” is being groomed to succeed in this position.
So between seeing people like Paddy Pimblett recovering last week from all the suspicious behavior during the previous UFC show in the Middle East, I’ll be following suit this Saturday and keeping the hyped product plugged in locally to stand out.
The choice is Magomedov via knockout in the first round.
