Austin Vanderford is coming into this fight from a loss to Danny Barlow at the UFC Fight Night via a split decision. Before that, he recorded a victory over Ashley Reece to claim the vacant UFL Welterweight Championship. He has tasted titles before the UFLs. This was in 2021 when he faced Anthony Ivy and won the vacant FFC Welterweight Championship. He did so via Knees to Body & Punches.

Austin Vanderford will be looking for a statement win in his debut season under the UFC promotion. Regardless of that pressure, he is a solid fighter with an awesome wealth of experience. The former Bellator title challenger has some wrestling foundation and will be looking to implement it strategically in this fight. On the other hand, Veretennikov is coming into this match from an experience in UFC although it ended up in a defeat for him. He has a pretty solid LFA experience and will be drawing some for this fight. With the five-round experience he has, he knows what winning means in this bout. It is on this ground I believe he will narrowly edge Austin to get the victory.
