Muhammed Niamov is a solid fighter who can get solid wins the problem is, he has no sense of urgency and is perfectly content squeeking out a decision. So when he fights someone with pressure and volume and he doesn't match that energy, he's play catchup. I think thats what we get here. i think Mairon sets a better pace, has the more accurate striking and defends the takedowns which will ultimately lead to a decision win. Mairon is the pick and if you want better odds here, Mairon by decision is probably solid.

Muhammad Naimov

Muhammad Naimov is a well rounded guy who prefers to strike, but can wrestle when he needs to. He is a fast, athletic guy and flashy. He likes to plot forward and throw in combinations. If he closes the distance, he will clinch up and strike from there. He is tough, durable and well rounded enough to get wins at this level. He is not dangerous at all but can work his way to a win. He is coming off the decision win over Bogdan Grad

Mairon Santos

Mairon Santos is a big powerful striker with solid takedown defense and plenty of patience. He isn't low volume per say, but he definitely plots forward and picks his shots. He has power in both his hands and feet and does a great job defending takedowns with an incredibly wide base. If he doesn't find a stoppage, he will keep his composure and continue with the gameplan. He is coming off the decision win over Sodiq Yusuff
