DARRICK MINNER VS SHAYILAN NUERDANBIEKE LOWDOWN
Darrick Minner (26-13) appears for the first time this year and is coming off two losses. The submission artist was coming off a first-round guillotine over TJ Laramie (2020) and unanimous decision over Charles Rosa (2021). The UFC clearly got bored of him out grappling people, so they paired him with Darren Elkins (2021) who TKO’d him in the second round and then got outpointed by Ryan Hall (2021) but did well not to get submitted himself considering Hall’s skills.
48 MMA fights at 28 years old is impressive, but it is only now we are starting to see Shayilan Nuerdanbieke’s (38-10) true potential. With 36 wins in the bank, he finally made his UFC debut, but lost a unanimous decision to Joshua Culibao (2021). The loss left many wondering how good he really was, but he has responded with two solid unanimous decisions over Sean Soriano (2021) and TJ Brown back in June.
DARRICK MINNER VS SHAYILAN NUERDANBIEKE PREDICTION
Yet another grappler for Minner. Nuerdanbieke Is a strong and explosive wrestler with 10 subs on the record which will provide another fascinating grappling contest.
There are a lot of ways to beat Minner but his jiu-jitsu is so slick, he only needs the slightest of openings to pounce on a choke. When he is the underdog, he is always worth a small punt on a submission unless he is fighting Ryan Hall.
However, Nuerdanbieke has the wrestling and power to subdue Minner for the first five minutes. Then, he will begin to fade which will make the takedowns easier to defend as the fight goes on allowing to him to show off his better striking skills and cruise to the bell.
