UFC Vegas 114: Chris Curtis vs. Myktybek Orolbai: Prediction
With his one-punch knockout power, I predict a TKO/KO finish for Orolbai over Curtis. His constant pressure of pressing his opponents forward against the cage is one of the best ways Orolbai sets up his powerful right-hand punch.
He’s very certain that once he lands that punch, his opponents will get hurt, which is why he’s always hunting them down. The only way to counter this is to throw a lot of jabs against Orolbai, but Curtis doesn’t throw many of them and only waits for counters.
