An MMA expert expresses skepticism regarding a quick finish in the upcoming fight between top welterweights - (18-0) and (15-0). He shared his thoughts in an interview with a correspondent on the YouTube channel.
Aidar Makhmetov UFC Shavkat Rakhmonov Ian Garry Vesti.kz SauBall - Do you think Rakhmonov might break the record for time spent in the cage? 14 minutes and 17 seconds in his fight against Jeff Neil is the record, and no one has lasted longer with Shavkat in the cage. Is it possible that this fight will go to a decision or at least to the fourth round?- I predicted either a victory for Shavkat by TKO in the third or fourth round or by points. I can definitely see that happening. Garry is very cautious, and he will work from a distance, not allowing Shavkat to take him down. As far as we know, Shavkat is also skilled in striking; he is a versatile fighter who feels comfortable in any aspect of MMA. Given that they know each other well, I believe this fight could very well end in a decision.
- So, you don’t believe in a quick finish here?- I find that hard to imagine.
