Marwan Rahiki vs. Harry Hardwick Picks, Prediction and Bets 

RAHIKI VS HARDWICH

Immediately after Harry's UFC debut the entire MMA community took to twitter to question the validity of Cage Warriors. This was your champion? This guy? Who had his leg destroyed with no answers? While I am not going to sit here and pretend that Cage Warriors or Harry are very good, I will remind people that he stepped up on a few days notice against a really tough guy up in weight. And even then, he didn't quit, his leg did. Rahiki also didn't quit in his last fight and he was in a much worse situation. I only point that out because both of these guys are tough and I am expecting a fun back and forth. If Harry has any chance here, it will be to initiate the grappling and look to shoot on one of Rahiki's spins, but I doubt he does that. I assume he will strike for too long, get dotted up and then wrestle when it's too late. Rahiki is the pick, but staying away from this one betting wise.

Marwan Rahiki

Marwan Rahiki is a flashy striker who has no problem throwing every imaginable spinning attack. He is fast powerful and very long. He doesn't really manage range because he is typically all gas moving forward. If he backs you up against the cage you can expect an insane flurry of strikes. His takedown defense is just ok, but he scrambles well back to his feet. He can be hit though and we saw that in his Contender Series fight where he was dropped bad but managed to survive and get his own finish.

Harry Hardwick

Harry Hardwick is a stalky striker who will stand tall and pressure forward. As he walks forward he throws straight punches and will jump out of the pocket if you fire back. When things get dicey, he will tie up and look for a takedown. He is a long guy who uses his teap kicks well to back you up. He has a solid chin, but can get his legs chewed up. That was never more evident than his UFC debut against Kaue Fernandez where he was kicked until he collapsed.
