This is a battle of the bad cardio and that makes this pretty tricky to break down because if I were to say “ok these guys both have shit cardio, so whoever wins the first few minutes, will win the fight” then i would pick Michal because he's the faster starter and I think the better striker but then you have to layer on the fact that his grappling is shit and now the edge goes to Abus and thats where I am going to keep it. Abus can win this fight multiple ways where Michal can't. Michal has looked great in his last couple of wins, but he hasn't fought some who can bring a wrestling since Caio Borralho and that was pretty one sided. Abus is the pick and I do expect a fun fight early before it turns into control fest.

Abus Magomedov

Abus Magomedov is a versatile striker with wrestling as a backup plan. He has very sneaky power because it never looks like hes throwing big shots but he can put people down. He is a long striker who does a great job using his length to counter and keep people on the end of his strikes. He will throw everything from tight hooks to head kicks and even though he can be hittable, he recognizes if he is on the wrong end of an exchange and quickly shoots double legs to get it to the ground but can fade as fights go long. He is coming off the submission loss to Joe Pyfer.

Michal Oleksiejczuk

Michal Oleksichuck is a very good striker with fast hands and a ton of pressure early. He has power as well with 8 KOs in his 10 UFC wins. While he's dangerous on his feet, he does have grappling holes and can fade as the fight goes on. He is coming off the decision win over Marc Andre Barriault where he almost KOd him early but faded hard.
