Bassil Hafez: The Habibi aims to build on first win in the Octagon

Bassil Hafez (9-4-1) earned his first win in the UFC last time out as he won a unanimous decision against Mickey Gall. The win at UFC 302 saw him bounce back from a split decision loss on his UFC debut in July 2023 and he will now look to build on that win. Hafez has yet to be stopped and his proven to be extremely durable, but he faces another tough test in New York against Oban Elliot here.

Oban Elliot: The Welsh Gangster looks to extend seven-fight win streak

Wales’ Oban Elliot (11-2) is proving to be hot property for the UFC right now as the British fighter is on a seven-fight win streak. After graduating from Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2023, Elliot has won both his fights in the UFC so far by unanimous decision. His two fights have come at UFC 298 and UFC 304 on major cards and he will not be fazed by appearing on yet another elite card in the Octagon.

Bassil Hafez vs Oban Elliot Prediction

We have yet another high-quality match up on the prelims at UFC 309 as Bassil Hafez meets Oban Elliot in the UFC's welterweight division.

All the momentum is with the Welshman Oban Elliot coming into this fight. He has won his last seven fights in a row and is looking incredibly strong.

Neither Elliot and Hafez possess much in the way of knockout power and this fight will likely come down to who can gain the greater Octagon control for the longest period of time. With that in mind, we have to favour the Welshman to help the edge in that department have we expect him to grind out another victory via the judges’ scorecards.

Prediction: Oban Elliot to win by decision
