UFC Vegas 119: Leon Shahbazyan vs. Levan Chokheli: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO victory for Chokheli over Shahbazyan because he’s the more powerful and aggressive striker. Chokheli is so committed to his striking, and he always looks for a highlight-reel knockout finish against his opponents.
Despite the stylistic matchup favoring Shahbazyan, Chokheli is also a solid grappler who can reverse takedown positions and end up on mount. Shahbazyan doesn’t really force or impose his submission skills against opponents; he just waits and looks for an opportunity.
While Chokheli throws everything with his punches and kicks. Additionally, Shahbazyan doesn’t have the best defense on his feet, because he’s very tall with his stance and is very hittable. This will be perfect for the explosive attacks of Chokeli, and a knockout finish is bound to happen.
