Shamil Gaziev

Shamil Gaziev is a Dagestani fighter and an Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov trainee who has been living and training in Bahrain for a long time. All but one of his victories have been early wins (the only one to survive to the end of the fight was Kirill Kornilov at the Ares FC tournament).

Last year, Shamil fought three times and all three times in different organizations - he knocked out Darko Stosic at Brave CF, knocked out Greg Velasco at Contender Series, and in his UFC debut, he scored a first-round knockout of Martin Buday in the first minute of the second round.

He's a versatile fighter, and his main advantage against Rozenstruik is wrestling, where he's stronger.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik

Jairzinho Rozenstruik also knocks out opponents left and right but also loses a lot. However, there is an understandable explanation, as his opposition is nothing compared to Gaziev's past opposition. Just look at who has beaten Rozenstruik in the last three years - Francis Ngannou, Ciryl Gane, Curtis Blaydes, Alexander Volkov, and Jailton Almeida. They are the elite of the heavyweight division.

A lot of good people have fallen under his fists, and interestingly enough, one touch is all it takes for him to knock out his opponent - almost all of his wins have come in the first round or even the first minute.

Rozenstruik's weakness has always been his wrestling, which hasn't gotten him anywhere - he's either been knocked out or has been knocked out himself. But in the last few years, the keys to him were found, the wrestling problem became critical, and the Surinamese admitted that we should train it too.

Expert Betting Tips

The question is whether Shamil Gaziev will be able to get the knockdown, and if he does, it will be all over for Rozenstruik.
