Nazim Sadykhov vs Terrance McKinney Prediction: Black Wolf to Destroy the Opponent

On July 16, Azerbaijani fighter Nazim Sadikhov will have his second fight in the UFC. His new opponent will be American Terrence McKinney. The bout will be held in the lightweight category.

Nazim Sadykhov is an American fighter of Azerbaijani origin whose childhood was spent in Moscow. He honors his traditions, coming to his historical homeland, so he has a lot of fans in Azerbaijan.

Nazim came to mixed martial arts from karate and unarmed combat. He prefers to fight in standing; almost all his victories were knockouts. He lost his first pro bout by submission. But then Nazim went on an eight-fight winning streak, knocked out his opponent at Contender Series, and made a triumphant debut in the UFC.

Terrance McKinney is an unremarkable fighter. He alternates wins and defeats in the UFC, and if he wins, he does most often by submission. Interestingly, for his entire pro career, McKinney was only once in the third round (in the distant 2018). Usually, he ends his confrontations in the first, and it does not matter whether it is a victory or a loss. Also, four times he was knocked out.

Terrance failed his last bout by knockout, and Ismael Bonfim (18-4 at the time) finished him with a flying knee.

Sadykhov has won his last five fights by knockout, and McKinney has ended eighteen of his bouts before the final buzzer. So the betting choice here is kind of obvious. If we're talking about the winner, the favorite is almost clear here, too. If Sadykhov has yet to say his last word and from fight to fight only increases, the level of McKinney is already known, which is not so high.
