Prediction for the UFC Vegas 67 Nassourdine Imavov vs Sean Strickland match, which will take place on January 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Nassourdine Imavov

Imavov moved to France as a young man, but he does not forget about his historical homeland and regularly thanks Russians for their support in speaking Russian. In Europe, he fought in local leagues until he was invited to the UFC, where he feels quite comfortable. They immediately began to give him strong opponents here, he won four times in five fights, and now he is on a series of three consecutive victories (two early).

Sean Strickland

Suppose Sean can't be called a big star, but still somehow close to it. He has been playing in the strongest league in the world since 2014, has been high in the ratings for a long time, and saw a real elite in front of him in a cage. But he began to stumble and lost twice after six wins in a row. On the other hand, he lost to future champion Alex Pereira (by knockout) and big star Jared Cannonier in a close and boring confrontation.

Expert Betting Tips

If Strickland had a full camp, he would definitely be the favorite, but it's a completely different matter in this case. His fight with Cannonier took place less than a month ago, Sean was having fun, recovering, and resting, and he took the fight with Imavov in just five days. Obviously, he is not physically ready at all, and if he cannot knock out an opponent at the beginning of the fight, he will not take out the entire distance. But the fight will be five rounds.

Therefore, everything will depend on Imavov, on his tactics. He understands all these layouts perfectly and will not get into trouble from the first seconds. He will try to drag the fight away. But Sean will be in a hurry and make mistakes.
