Today starts my series where I share with you my biggest underdog pick of the week! This week we are starting off in the Light Heavyweight division with Billy Elekana taking on Lucas Fernando. I’m taking the 31 year old Elekana. He’s 3-1 in the ufc and his one loss being against #12 ranked Bogdan Guskov which was short notice. I believe Elekana gets this done by decision due to his all around style. I believe it’ll be more of a snooze fest but I think Billy can get sub attempts and more control time and ride out a 29-28 UD/SD over Fernando

Another Missing Prime Post: Damir Ismagulov Damir Ismagulov was a lightweight in the UFC from 2018-2023, and what a fighter he could’ve been but still was. Great names on the resume that’s he fought such as Joel Alvarez, Arman Tsurukyan, Guram Kutateladze, he fought insane competition. Not necessarily a fighter a powerhouse, but the precision, efficiency, and accuracy and striking understanding was very very good. A really good jab that set up his left hook always. He mixed boxing and kicking together beautifully. Also was his footwork and defensive work; always moving after combinations and his head movement and defense after a combination was very nice to watch plus his understanding of when to engage and when to disengage. The calculated striking was a treat. Sadly, two losses to Arman Tsurkuan and grant dawson then an injury that he promptly shortly retired from ended his UFC run, once again i ask, what could’ve been?
