Mansur Abdul-Malik: UFC newcomer puts 100% on the line
Mansur Abdul-Malik (6-0) makes his UFC after he earn his shot in the organisation thanks to his second-round TKO of Wesley Schultz in Dana White’s Contender Series. That win came in August and was actually the longest fight of his professional MMA career. All of his previous fights were stopped in the first round but the 27-year-old maintained his record of stopping all of his opponents to date.
Dusko Todorovic: Serb star back after 18 months out
Dusko Todorovic (12-4) is coming back from an 18-month layoff due to a serious knee injury so there is a chance of some rust. That injury saw him lose his last bout by TKO as he was unable to continue at UFC 286 against Christian Leroy Duncan and ultimately means he has lost four of his last six bouts now.
Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Dusko Todorovic Prediction
There is a fair degree of hype surrounding Mansur Abdul-Malik after his explosive performance in the Contender Series and they will be hoping he can put on a show here.
He faces Todorovic who is always looking for a knockout himself and this is unquestionably the fight that the UFC matchmakers are expecting fireworks from.
We have to lean towards Abdul-Malik here. Todorovic has lost four of his last six, been on the receiving end of a couple of knockout losses (aside from the TKO loss due to his knee injury) and has been out for 18 months. Any rust will be exposed by Abdul-Malik and we think he gets the stoppage here.
Prediction: Mansur Abdul-Malik to win by KO/TKO
