Sadykhov vs Elder Prediction
Nazim Sadykhov aims to pick up his eighth consecutive win when he steps into the octagon with Evan Elder. Sadykhov has finished six of the last seven opponents he's faced (five knockouts, one submission), most recently tallying a KO win over Ahmad Suhail Hasanzada on .
Meanwhile, Elder is coming off this first loss of his MMA career. He went the distance with Preston Parsons at UFC Vegas 52 but ultimately lost by unanimous decision.
It's a small sample size, but I do n't like what I've seen from Elder. He's only averaging 1.90 significant strikes per minute with 45% accuracy. For reference, Sadykhov averages 4.42 strikes on 59% accuracy. Furthermore, Sadykhov's strike defense (65%) is much superior to that of his opponent (33%).
Considering how Elder was also out-struck 75-27 in his UFC debut, he's an easy fade this weekend. Back Sadykhov to continue his impressive run.
