UFC Vegas 46: Giga Chikadze vs. Calvin Kattar

From both of them, Chikadze has a slight edge on the striking field. The former kickboxer is extremely creative with his striking and has incredible footwork. He’s got immense power and his strikes seem to be much faster and explosive compared to what we’ve seen from Kattar.

However, Kattar has been a part of five-round fights before and is extremely durable. He’s got a great chin and can pose a threat to Chikadze if he can manage to take the fight to the end. He also has a good takedown defense.

Chikadze seems to be the stronger competitor going into the Fight at UFC Vegas 46. This is owing to his creative and intricate striking, and his ability to tactically destroy his opponents the way he has before. He’s got greater speed and very creative techniques.
