I'm not ready to give up on Shamil. His last performance was an atrocity, but the reality is he probably just bit off more than he can chew that early into his UFC career. He is still a powerful striker with good takedowns. Let's hope the loss reset his training and he has a bit of cardio. This is a great bounce back fight for him and he will be the pick.
Shamil Gaziev
Shamil Gaziev is a large Dagatsani but instead of being a non stop wrestler, he is a very powerful striker who marches forward and lands big. He is physically pretty sloppy, but will work in more than one spinning attack when you least expect it. He has very real power in his hands and a relaxed striking style. He has wrestling as well but not the cardio to stick with it. He is coming off his first career loss to Jarzinho Rozenstruik where he was gassed after 30 seconds.
Don'Tale Mayes
DanTale Mayes is a good boxer with heavy hands. He has solid footwork and sets up his combinations well. He marches forward and throws everything with 100% effort, everything from leg kicks to overhands. He is not a wrestler, but he does have 7 takedowns in the UFC. He is coming off the decision win over Caio Machado where he looked soft and was chasing power.
