UFC 330: Jeremiah Wells vs. Myktybek Orolbai: Prediction
A decision win for Orolbai over Wells is my prediction because of the stylistic matchup. Orolbai has a grappling-heavy style, while Wells is more of a striker. Orolbai can neutralize the threat of Wells’ power and striking by taking him down.
Also, Orolbai is continuously improving his striking with Team Alpha Male. This makes his stand-up game underrated, but more importantly, it allows him to set up his takedowns more effectively without getting telegraphed.
Even though Orolbai will threaten several submissions when he successfully takes down Wells, I think that the American contender’s grit and durability will help him survive for three rounds and get to the judges’ scorecards.
