Even though he’s making his promotional debut, Hasanov is going to be the betting favorite with -180 UFC odds, while Nolan, who’s coming off a loss in his first octagon match, will be the +145 betting underdog.

UFC Baku: Farman Hasanov vs. Eric Nolan: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO victory for Hasanov over Nolan, mainly due to the relentless pressure and wrestling he brings. These skills will put Nolan in trouble, especially once Hasanov gets a hold of him.
Hasanov outmuscles his opponents in wrestling scrambles, and he always ends up in top position. From there, he rains down ground-and-pound strikes. His weapon of choice is punches and lethal elbow strikes.
Even though Nolan has decent takedown defense, I still think Hasanov will overpower him with his incredible strength. Once Hasanov has his opponents backed up against the cage, he’ll relentlessly pursue a takedown against them.
