UFC 332: Marvin Vettori vs. Ismail Naurdiev: Prediction
I predict a decision win for Naurdiev over Vettori because he’s the better overall striker. Naurdiev has an elite striking arsenal, especially his kicks and flying knees. He also has a strong enough takedown game to stop Vettori’s takedown attempts.
Vettori’s fighting style has changed throughout his UFC career: from a constant forward-pressure fighter to a more second-guessing fighter. But his durability and cardio remain his biggest assets.
I think the fight will be a stand-up affar throughout three rounds and Naurdiev will have the clear advantage. He’ll be able to kick Vettori’s lead leg and occassionaly fire flashy spinning attacks and flying knees.
