Shamil Musaev

The 30-year-old Shamil Musaev is the MMA revelation of the year. After a two-year hiatus, the undefeated Russian returned to action in 2023 and has already picked up three early victories. If it weren't for the lengthy layoff, Musaev would be more popular right now, but even now, Shamil is doing just fine. He is going full steam ahead to win the season and a million dollars.

Musaev is a knockout artist with excellent striking technique. He has 11 knockout wins. His amateur career is also impressive: he is the World and European MMA Champion, the European Wushu Champion, and the multiple Russian Wushu Sanda Champion.

In the PFL, Shamil has already beaten Logan Storley and Murad Ramazanov. On paper, the first fight with Ramazanov looked as competitive as possible. Russian derby, two undefeated fighters, but Murad could not give Shamil any severe resistance and was submitted in the second round.

Murad Ramazanov

Murad Ramazanov took an unconventional career path and set out to conquer Asia in the ONE Championship. In two years, the Russian fighter has won three fights and had another one declared a no-contest. Murad is a well-balanced fighter who emphasizes grappling.

Ramazanov was on the verge of a title shot before deciding to move to the PFL. In his first fight of the regular season, Murad choked out former UFC fighter Laureano Staropoli in the first round before losing to Shamil Musaev in his second fight.

However, Ramazanov's quick win in the first fight saw him through to the playoffs, where he will meet Musaev again. Murad will undoubtedly be keen to avenge the first defeat of his professional career.

Expert Betting Tips

Less than two months have passed since the first meeting of the Russian fighters. It is almost impossible to make serious adjustments in such a short time. As a result, the odds for the fight are now based on the first fight's result.

Musaev is a pretty confident favorite, but Ramazanov will come into the fight with a different attitude. It's unlikely that this clash of spectacular fighters will go to the judges.
