UFC Seattle: Ignacio Bahamondes vs. Tofiq Musayev: Prediction
With the height and reach advantages, I predict a unanimous decision win for Bahamondes over Musayev. Bahamondes might have learned his lesson from his loss to Rafael Fiziev that he needs to fully utilize his length against his opponents.
With his youth and inexperience, Bahamondes is always eager to get the finish against his opponents, either by TKO/KO or submission. But, he quickly discovered that he also needs to use his physical attributes to win fights.
I believe Bahamondes will use more of his range against Musayev to inflict damage, especially with his kicks. Additionally, he’ll be more committed to his takedowns and double down to nullify the solid kickboxing of Musayev and to potentially minimize damage.
