Nam vs Maksum Prediction

Tyson Nam hasn't been able to get much going in the UFC, going 3-4 in his first seven fights. He's lost two of his last three outings and most recently fell victim to Bruno Silva at UFC Las Vegas, losing by technical submission after getting caught in a rear-naked choke.

Meanwhile, Azat Maksum has his sights on making an impact in his UFC debut. "Kazakh" has steamrolled through the competition thus far, winning each of his first 16 fights. Maksum demonstrated a tremendous finishing ability over that span, winning seven fights by submission and another five by KO/TKO.

Nam has more experience, but he's in trouble here. Maksum is no joke, highlighted by three first-round victories in his last four fights. He's a tough competitor an d shouldn't have an issue with Nam, who hasn't exactly beaten any of note during his UFC run.

Nam vs Maksum Best Bet

There's a good chance that Maksum won't have an issue ending this fight early. Of his 16 previous fights, 81.3% of them ended in the first two rounds. He knows how to exploit his opponents' weaknesses and the same will happen to Nam, who was just embarrassed by Bruno Silva.

Whether it's a win by submission or knockout, Maksum won't spend too much time in the octagon.
