Another weird spot where the Tapology crew is far more confident than the betting odds. I personally am leaning to the odds. i think this is a close fight. Two primary strikers. Both tough, both with power, but without much grappling. I thin Nikolay is the better overall striker, but Khaos has more one punch power. I really wanted to pick Khaos here, but needed to see some wrestling to be able to do that and unfortunately there isn't any. He's attempted a total of 2 takedowns his entire UFC career and didn't get either. Nikolay is fast, clean, accurate and powerful. If he pressures forward he can get Khoas out of any rhythm and have him punching off his back foot. I'm picking Nikolay but likely not betting here.

Nikolay Veretennikov

Nikolay Veretennikov is a powerful and aggressive striker. He plots forward and send everything with power. He will occasionally set things up with low kicks, but for the most part, he comes in, throws big hooks and launches rights. He is durable and has no problem with a dog fight but he can be taken down. He's coming off the finish win over the very finashable Niko Price.

Khaos Williams

Khaos Williams is always fun to watch and never in a boring fight. He walks people down, he has tons of power and solid low kicks. He uses the low kicks to take out his opponents legs and slow them down so he can come up top for a KO. He's got power, he's durable and he is always live for a knockout. He is coming off the bully loss to Andreas Gustaffson where he hated the pressure.
