JAMIE PICKETT VS DENIS TIULIULIN LOWDOWN
Fighting out of Wilmington, North Carolina, Jamie Pickett (13-7) has not enjoyed the most consistent of runs at the moment. Currently 2-3 in his last five outings, Pickett is coming off of a defeat to Kyle Daukaus back in February this year. Looking to get back in the win column, Pickett will be looking to produce a flawless performance.
As for Pickett’s opponent this weekend, Denis Tiuliulin (10-6) will be desperate to pick up his first win inside the promotion. After losing on his debut against Aliaskhab Khizriev back in March, Tiuliulin is hoping to get back to winning ways this weekend with a big win against Jamie Pickett.
JAMIE PICKETT VS DENIS TIULIULIN PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s middleweight showdown, Pickett will have an advantage in both the height and reach department.
Since signing with the company, it is fair to say that Pickett has been very underwhelming. His style has fans scratching their heads. You could argue that he’s a rangy, durable and solid wrestler, but he has not had his breathtaking moments since signing with the promotion. However, that style may be enough to beat Tiuliulin this weekend. From the off, we suspect that Pickett will look to stay busy and be the aggressor and mix in the takedowns. With Tiuliulin being a one-dimensional striker, if Pickett can avoid the power shots, he should get the job done.
