William Knight vs. Maxim Grishin: Can Knight Win Against the Odds?

Two veterans, William Knight, and Maxim Grishin, are to dash against each other at UFC 271 on 12 February 2022, Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Knight has been playing under UCF for years and has 2 games winning streak. On the other hand, Maxim had played only 3 matches, out of which he won only 1. He also lost a game in February to Dusting Jacoby. Since both the players have recently not been at the top of their game, they’ll set on to get back at their opponent. None of the players will lose a chance to gain the winning scores and show defeat to the other.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that William Knight has been among the most consistent fighters in the MMA circuit. Going in the match against Maxim Grishin, William Knight would be looking to capitalize on the right instant and register his 3rd consecutive victory. However, this would be a tough yet challenging task. The 5 foot 10-inch fighter would be on his toes while facing Maxim Grishin, who has been in phenomenal touch. Knight’s recent wins came against Daniel Mola, Alonzo Menifield, and Fabio Cherant. Knight has been showcasing a gritty and solid attitude towards his opponents in the ring. The upcoming UFC 271 event fight would be a thrilling encounter to watch and predict for the winner.

Maxim also competes under the Light Heavyweight division. He is a professional Russian MMA. He has been Heavyweight Champion in the M-1 Global. Moreover, Maxim has been awarded the badge of Master of Sport in hand-to-hand combat. The player has been in the game since 2008. Out of 42 games he has played in the UFC, he has been able to win 31 with 2 draws, among which 16 were by knockout, 6 by submission, 9 by decision. This outstanding measure of wins that the player has experienced makes him a confident opposition to Ed. However, the results of the last 3 games show that Grishin hasn’t been fortunate recently. He has only been able to gain a single victory against Gadzhimurad Antigulov, which will push him to prove himself in the upcoming match. 

Both players have been in great touch with the ring and would be hoping to continue their supremacy on the UFC 271 night. Maxim might not have performed quite well recently, but his previous winnings showcase his potential. Going in the fight, William Knight is likely to win and give a tough time to Maxim Grishin, who has a decent winning streak under his belt.
