Khalid Taha will take on Sergey Morozov in an exciting bantamweight clash at UFC Vegas 31 which will see a lightweight clash between Islam Makhachev and Thiago Moises serve as the headliner. The promotion will return to action at the UFC Apex after an extremely successful event at the T-Mobile Arena with UFC 264. 

The UFC’s bantamweight division is stacked with some incredible talent. Both Taha and Morozov are currently unranked at 135-pounds and will aim to take a step towards a ranking with a win this weekend.

Morozov did not have the start to his UFC career that he would have hoped for. The Kazakhstani succumbed to a loss against Umar Nurmagomedov in January. Hence, he will be aiming to get back into the win column and establish himself in the UFC with a win over Taha. 

‘The Warrior’ is a heavy hitter and has secured an impressive 69% of his wins via T/KO. He has landed an impressive 2.13 significant strikes per minute in the UFC. However, as he has absorbed a concerning 3 significant strikes per minute, it could be his downfall against Morozov. 

Morozov has landed 0.81 significant strikes per minute and has absorbed 2.89 in return. These figures, however, are not an accurate representation of his skill set, given he has fought only once in the UFC. Morozov will aim to prove himself with a much better display in his second fight with the promotion. Taha’s leaky defense could help him here. 

Prediction:- Sergey Morozov via decision
