Trevin Jones was determined to remain on the card despite late changes which have become the story of his career. Furthermore, this inconsistency sometimes finds its way into fights as he’s had some razor thing decision wins and losses. It’s imperative that he stays the course and doesn’t get caught napping against the explosive debutant.
As mentioned earlier, Saidyokkub Kakhramonov is making his UFC debut after racking up two straight KO wins. He blasted his last opponent, Tycen Lynn with punches and made sure to leave his mark on the UFC brass. With his kill or be killed fighting style, the ceiling is extremely high for Saidyokub Kakhramonov.
The 25-year-old is adept at mixing up his punches and also is very well-versed with range striking. This will come in handy against a marauder like Trevin Jones who is strong no matter where the fight goes. With the strength advantage going to Jones, Saidyokub will prefer keeping the fight standing.
Prediction: Trevin Jones to claim a first-round TKO win
