Shamil Musaev vs Logan Storley Prediction: The judges will decide the outcome of the fight

On the night of April 20, the third PFL regular season tournament will take place in Chicago. In one of the main fights, another Russian fighter Shamil Musaev will face American Logan Storley.

Shamil Musaev came to professional mixed martial arts from Wushu-Sanda, in which he achieved a lot of successes in amateurs (he is a world champion). This base determines his fighting style - Shamil is a fast knockout fighter, who can make unconventional decisions, and if necessary, he feels confident in parterre.

Shamil has no defeats in his professional career so far, and for the last few years he has been moving in the Polish KSW league. Planned to become a champion, he won three victories (two by knockout), and one fight ended in a draw. In truth, he won that one as well, dominating and outboxing, but he was taken off a point for grabbing the net.

Due to international events, Musaev left KSW and had time to fight at RCC, where he finished former UFC fighter Alexei Kunchenko mercilessly in the first round.

Logan Storley is the same guy who took Bellator by storm and lost twice to Yaroslav Amosov (no other losses in his career). By the way, he lost to the Ukrainian the second time without a chance, losing on all accounts, but he managed to cope with Michael Page, and in his last fight he knocked out Brennan Ward (and he was beaten hard until the finish).

We believe that Logan Storley will look for a fight from the very first seconds, and Shamil will prevent it in every possible way. But the American seems to be physically stronger and will get his way in any way, pressing his opponent to the net or catching his leg and dropping him. No exchanges - Storley lost on the feet to both Amosov and Ward, but his wrestling tactics worked in his fight with Page.

All this fuss will last forever - Musaev will be getting out from under the American, and the latter will try to control him. The result will literally depend on how much time the guys spend in the clinch and how much on the ground.
