DEVIN CLARK VS AZAMAT MURZAKANOV LOWDOWN
Devin Clark (13-6) never seems to have an easy fight in the UFC and has been assigned another monster. His easiest outing was Dequan Townsend (2020) earning a unanimous decision and made it two in a row after grinding out Alonzo Menifield the same year. He then ran into Anthony Smith (2020) and his arm triangle and Ion Cutelaba (2021) piled on the misery with a unanimous decision. However, he is coming off a brilliant TKO meeting William Knight up at heavyweight back in April.
Azamat Murzakanov (11-0) has looked terrifying so far. We first saw him on the Contender Series with nine ruthless dubs already in the bank from the local scene. He met Matheus Scheffel (2021) and swatted him away with his heavy hands. He then met Tafon Nchukwi for his debut back in March and put him to sleep in the third round with a devastating knee to the dome.
DEVIN CLARK VS AZAMAT MURZAKANOV PREDICTION
Murzakanov is the favourite and the majority expect to see his knockout prowess on full display. However, Clark has the skillset and experience to derail the Russian. He has the size, power and wrestling to subdue the knockout threat and wear Murzakanov down for three rounds.
That said, what Murzakanov will lack in size, he makes up for in speed. He has great hand speed and we can easily see him tagging Clark for as long as the fight goes on. So, he needs to be patient and pace his bursts. The longer he can maintain the distance and keep the fight on the feet, the more chance he has in picking up his ninth knockout.
Although the Russian will be a severe threat whenever they are on the feet, we are backing Clark to mix in his leg kicks and close the distance to wear Murzakanov down with his grappling to seal a decision. A Clark decision or Murzakanov knockout are your best bets here.
