Dana White’s Contender Series Week 1 Season 9 Predictions
em 09/08 - Atualizado há 10 diasThe most dangerous job interview is back! Check out our analysis and predictions of Dana White’s Contender Series Week 1 Season 9. The predictions take into account the fighters’ current momentum, performance history and fighting styles.
Christopher Ewert vs. Yuri Panferov
Bet: Ewert wins
Analysis: Ewert has a good fight IQ, he knows how to get around on the ground, but he’s a striker who can build knockouts. He hits to the head, to the body, uses the clinch and the guard well. And he’s a guy who doesn’t exist. As for Panferov, he doesn’t inspire me with confidence in any area, but especially his level of striking compared to his opponent. Yuri has already participated in Contender and was finished by the bull Torrez Finney.
George Mangos x Radley da Silva
Bet: Da Silva wins
Analysis: This Radley is a born fighter. The guy goes up to take his opponent’s head off. Round kicks, high kicks, body kicks, strong boxing and gas if the fight goes the distance. Mangos prefers grappling and finishes fights very quickly, but he’s only 21 and comes from Australia, so I think he’s coming a little early. The only detail is that Radley is so offensive that sometimes he’s careless. He can’t go down and make a mistake in front of George.
Baysangur Susurkaev vs Murtaza Talha
Bet: Susurkaev to win
Analysis: The two have similar styles, but Baysangur is longer, more lethal and more agile. Murtaza is good at wrestling, but the Russian won’t be taken down easily and also understands this area. Murtaza has already been on Contender 2023 and was knocked out by Rodolfo Bellato. I don’t think his fate will be much different now.
Ty Miller vs Jimmy Drago
Bet: Drago wins
Analysis: I think Miller is still too young for the UFC. Drago is already complete, he’s tasted defeat twice, but he’s got good wins, even if he was fighting in a small event. I think it’s going to be a question of stamina, Jimmy seems to have more desire.
Ilian Bouafia x Neemias Santana
Bet: Bouafia wins
Analysis: It’s going to be a great fight between these two strikers who deliver everything. Neemia is very strong and marches forward with his hands low, full of personality and knockout power. The problem is that on the other side there’s a 1.96 cm tall Frenchman who’s also a monster. Strong and with knockout power, but he doesn’t expose himself as much as the Brazilian. All I know is that there will be fireworks in this fight. But overall, I think Bouafia has a better chance.
