KAAN OFLI VS MAIRON SANTOS LOWDOWN
Kaan Ofli (11-2-1) is a 31-year-old Australian featherweight who has been on a tear in numerous smaller organisations. He has won his last eight professional MMA fights and now gets a chance in the UFC to showcase what he can do in the finale of The Ultimate Fighter. He beat Nathan Fletcher and Roedie Roets to get to this stage and will now face Mairon Santos on the UFC on ESPN 62 card.
24-year-old Brazilian Mairon Santos brings an impressive 13-1 record into this bout and he has been particularly impressive in The Ultimate Fighter. He did have some weight issues as he struggled to cut to 145 but otherwise the level of his performances was high.
KAAN OFLI VS MAIRON SANTOS PREDICTION
It is never easy to evaluate fighters that have never fought in the UFC and then come through The Ultimate Fighter as the quality of opponent can vary significantly.
Kaan Ofli and Mairon Santos are two talented fighters however and this should make for a good TUF finale.
Our clear preference is for Mairon Santos however. The 24-year-old is incredibly strong and talented, and while he clearly has some issues squeezing his big frame into 145lbs, he should be able to overpower Ofli.
PREDICTION: Mairon Santos to win
