I have to go with Trey in this spot. He doesn't take unecessary risks and you can trust him to stick to a gameplan. obviously Loik is a durable guy who has shown power, wrestling, and most recently heart, but his takedown defense is sub par and Trey seems more confident now that ever. Trey is the pick and I like him as the underdog. I am going to keep an eye on the odds to see if I can get him at better than the +127 on the board today.
Loik Radzhabov
Loik Radzhabov is a non stop wrestler with impressive throws and powerful hands. His striking can be sloppy but he has no issues coming forward and absolutely bombing away. While he has solid takedowns, he can also be taken down himself but does have very good cardio and certainly enough to push a pace for a full 15 minutes. He is coming off the come from behind win over Al-Selwady where he was getting out struck and outwrestled before finding the finish in the 3rd.
Trey Ogden
Trey Ogden is an athletic grappler with solid takedowns and decent power in his hands. He is absolutely a grappler but if you run through his tape you'll see that even in his submission wins, hes dropping his opponents with strikes before snatching up a submission. His takedowns are really well timed and he does an excellent job of lowering his level and shooting blast doubles as his opponents come in. He is coming off the decision win over Kurt Holobough where he had 3 takedowns and 11 minutes of control.
