UFC 326: Cody Durden vs. Nyamjargal Tumendemberel: Prediction
With his superior grappling skills and elite clinch game, I predict a unanimous decision victory for Tumendemberel over Durden. The Mongolian fighter can nullify Durden’s striking and power by controlling him against the fence or on the mat.
Additionally, Tumendemberel is also a much quicker fighter and holds the edge in reach and leg reach, which could be crucial in the stand-up battle to keep the seasoned contender at a safe distance. I won’t be surprised if Tumendemberel gets a submission finish as well.
