UFC Fight Night 110 – John Moraga Vs. Ashkan Mokhtarian

Ashkan Mokhtarian will be making his debut in Fight Night Auckland on June 10th. For his very first fight, he is really going to have an uphill battle when he comes up against John Moraga. Moraga was once a title challenger, and has plenty of experience in the octagon unlike Ashkan Mokhtarian. Even though he […]

Even though he is a newcomer who is completely unproven, Ashkan Mokhtarian does have a lot of potential. This might be his very first UFC bout, but he has been fighting competitively for a while now and is coming off the back of a pretty impressive six-fight win streak which includes three knockouts and two submissions. Ashkan Mokhtarian has a background in both Brazilian Jiu Jiutsu and conventional kick boxing. However, his wrestling game certainly needs a lot of work and it will be his weakness when he comes up face to face against John Moraga on June 10th.

Moraga has a pretty strong advantage being well trained in wrestling. He was very successful in collegiate wrestling in his home state of Arizona. Needless to say, his grappling game is in a different league when compared to Ashkan Mokhtarian and this might be where he will excel this weekend in Auckland.

Moraga will be undoubtedly trying to hit Ashkan Mokhtarian with a takedown and get the fight to the floor. If the fight does hit the mat, then it may not be long before we see Ashkan Mokhtarian tapping out from an inescapable submission.

In conclusion, unless Ashkan Mokhtarian has some real good tricks up his sleeve, the experience, power and skill of Moraga should suffice to secure the victory in this fight.

Prediction – fight to go to judges, John Moraga to win by unanimous decision.

UFC Fight Night 110 – Tim Elliott Vs. Ben Nguyen

Tim Elliot really has turned the tables around since his re-introduction into the UFC by way of The Ultimate Fighter. Elliot has really proved his mettle and it is visibly evident that he has been getting better and better with every fight. His confidence is growing and so is his sheer ability and skills in the octagon. Elliot has not really had a long time to prepare for Ben Nguyen specifically, because he took up the opportunity on such short notice, but he is still the favorite to win this fight by a rather substantial margin. Furthermore, neither has Ben Nguyen been able to train particularly knowing that he will be fighting Elliot.

Elliot really does not mess about in the ring, from the moment the bell rings till the fight ends, he is always going in for the attack relentlessly, one after the other. Nguyen has powerful striking force and does have the capacity to take Elliot out with one good blow. However, getting that one good blow is not going to be a cake walk by any extent of the imagination. If the fight goes to the floor, Elliot is still well equipped to deal with it because his scrambling and grappling abilities are really second to none in his weight division. Elliot only has his sights set on climbing up the ladder and into one of the top five rankings in the weight division and a win against Nguyen will really get the ball rolling on that ambition.

Nguyen really has to be on point if he wants to cause an upset here. His best strategy going in will be to stay sharp, dodge attacks. stay on the back foot, defend take downs and strike with one of his deadly blows the moment Elliot lets his guard down.

Prediction – Elliot to win by submission

UFC Fight Night 110 – Alexander Volkanovski Vs. Mizuto Hirota

This is one of the fights in UFC Fight Night 110 Auckland on June 10th where neither of the fighters are in front of home support. Alexander Volkanovski debuted in the UFC in November of 2016 and it was a debut to remember. He faced Yusuke Kasuya and was able to clinch the victory pretty early into the fight, he won by technical knock – out right in the second round itself. However, it has been a while since the debut and his opponent during Fight Night Auckland is certainly going to be a lore more challenging that Yusuke Kasuva.

Mizuto Hirota is a highly experienced fighter that has taken on some of the most illustrious names in the sport. Granted his record is littered with both wins and losses, it still shows that he has collected a lot of experience under his belt. While this fight is mostly evenly matched, the experience might really be the factor which makes the difference. Volkanovski is a pretty powerful hitter, but Hirota is no less and can also pack a punch himself. Hirota so far has landed takedowns with an accuracy of 68 per cent and you can rest assured that he will force Volkanovski to the mat once or twice.

Apart from the vast experience, another added advantage that Hirota can exploit is the fact that he has a significantly better reach which is 2 inches more that what Volkanovski has got. This can be used to deliver straight punches and setup takedowns while ensuring that Volkanovski is always on his back foot. If Volkanovski is going to win this one, he will have to stay real focused and pounce with a strong counter at the perfect moment.

Prediction – Hirota to win by unanimous decision

UFC Fight Night 110 – Dan Hooker Vs. Ross Pearson

Dan Hooker will be eager to clinch a victory in his home country in front of home support at UFC Fight Night 110 Auckland on June 10th. However, Ross Pearson may have a thing or two to say about that. If Hooker wants a home win, he will have to beat Pearson and that is […]

Hooker’s record has been anything but constant. He has had good times and bad alike in the Octagon. Coming to recent form, Hooker has been impressive and has only lost to Yair Rodriguez and Jason Knight. Rodriguez and Knight are fighters who are both exceptional and probably the best the featherweight division has seen in a very long time. However, Hooker isn’t fighting in the featherweight division anymore, he has bulked up to make an upward move to the lightweight division. The lightweight division is weight class which Pearson has been competing in for a very long time and hence has a ton of experience under his belt. Pearson relies mostly on his boxing skills and strikes relentlessly to knock out opponents while he also utilizes counter wrestling techniques to ward off any attempts made by opponents to take the fight to the floor.

When it comes to strikes absorbed per minutes, Pearson is statistically proven to be better than his opponent, Hooker. However, Hooker does have an advantage in terms of reach. Hooker is also quicker and more agile, but he has not been able to tap into his agility to really make it count so far.

All in all, this is a very well matched fight which really could swing either way. There is no concrete favorite as such.

Prediction – Fight to go to judges, Pearson to win by Unanimous Decision.

UFC Fight Night 210 – Patrick Cummins Vs. Jan Blachowicz

UFC Fight Night 210 is an event that is highly anticipated thanks to the fight card and the fervor excitement just keeps growing with every passing day as we edge closer to the fight night which is now just around the corner. One fight that has kind of been shadowed by the other more nig […]

One fight that has kind of been shadowed by the other more nig name match ups is Patrick Cummins vs. Jan Blachowicz. However, if you were to actually take a closer look at the fighters and the potential this fight has – you will realize it can actually turn out to be one of the most interesting and highly competitive fights of the night.

Cummins (8-4) did not really get the UFC career start that he was hoping to when he lost out to Daniel Cormier, but he made up for it quickly and really sent out a strong message when he bounced back with three straight back to back wins. However, his recent form has gone south again and he has suffered three knock out losses in his last four fights.

On the other end of the octagon, we have Blachowicz (19-6) who also started his UFC career of with a bang after knocking out Ilir Latifi with a well landed body kick. Just like Cummins, Blachowicz’ recent form has not been on point as he has suffered three losses of his last four, but by decision.

So who will be able to turn things around and get back to winning ways? Even though Cummins is at a 2 inch disadvantage, we is better on the ground and we think he will be able to muscle his way to a victory via unanimous decision.

UFC Fight Night 210 – Burgos vs. Charles Rosa

UFC Fight Night 210 – 145lbs: Shane Burgos Vs. Charles Rosa No one saw this match up coming, but after Zubaira Tukhugov failed a drug test, Charles Rosa was left opponent – less, but not for long.

UFC Fight Night 210 – 145lbs: Shane Burgos Vs. Charles Rosa

No one saw this match up coming, but after Zubaira Tukhugov failed a drug test, Charles Rosa was left opponent – less, but not for long. Shane “Hurricane” Burgos stepped up to the challenge on short notice and will now be taking on the Brazilian in UFC fight night 210.

Shane Burgos (8-0) and Charles Rosa (11-2) are actually going to make for a very interesting fight. Burgos, who is 5 feet 11 inches is two inches taller than Rosa, but the height is not really going to be a big advantage considering how agile Rosa can be.

Rosa had a very challenging debut in the UFC and was put up against Dennis Silver in Stockholm, however, he managed not only come out alive, but actually won the fight. Since then he went on to win two more and lost one to Yair Rodriguez.

Both fighters are excellent finishers who know how to put a fight to bed. It is really going to be an exciting fight – one for the crowds. They are relentless and are not going to while away time on the back foot trying to defend for too long.

Prediction – Burgos is our winner here as he has the edge technically and while on both feet. But make no mistake! Rosa can very well surprise us all again like he did in his debut.
