Zhalgas Zhumagulov vs Joshua Van Prediction: Experience and motivation of the Kazakh will play a decisive role

Prediction for the UFC on ABC 5 Zhalgas Zhumagulov vs Joshua Van match which will take place on June 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

According to all the league laws, Zhumagulov should have been fired long ago (five defeats in six fights). However, in these five defeats, Zhalgas did not lose in the last two, and, in his own opinion, he did not fail once. For some reason, the judges are mistaken in his fights.

Zhumagulov had his last fight on November 19, 2022, against Charles Johnson, one of the most demonstrative. The first time Zhalgas beat the competitor, everyone agreed with this. In the second, the American broke the rules several times, hitting below the belt, and the Kazakh knocked him down. Is Johnson taking the third round enough for the final victory?

The judicial decision favoring Johnson was shameful that Zhalgas announced his retirement. But now he is going to have his most decisive battle.

A young, 21-year–old Joshua Van is just making his debut in the UFC, and before that, he fought in the American promotion Fury FC - seven wins (all early) and only one defeat.

Joshua Van prefers to fight in the guard, which is good news for Zhalgas and MMA fans. The fight promises to be exciting. The experience and motivation of the Kazakh will play a decisive role. A young (very young) American is quite capable of burning out – on such public interest, and even against such a strong competitor, he has not fought yet, so mistakes are inevitable for him.
