Maximov vs Malkoun Prediction
.
Winner:'Nick Maximov (65%)
Method of Victory:'Decision (82%)
Nick Maximov and Jacob Malkoun are both looking to bounce back after losing their respective last outings. While Maximov lost to Andre Petroski by technical submission in the first round, Malkoun went the distance before losing unanimously to Brendan Allen.
I see this being a back-and-forth battle between two fighters with a lot to prove. Having said that, I'm going to giv e the edge to Maximov here. He has both the height and reach advantage, combined with the fact that he's only lost once in his career.
Nevertheless, both men like long fights, so I'll take Maximov by decision at +155.
