Khamidov is the real deal. The quintessential version of 'how to Russian Sambo maul',  but his stand up is just as formidable & is a real threat in that department. He's a future title contender

Petchi has flashy kickboxing (think Diakiese) but for some reason barely has any KOs. I've seen him taken down & held by grapplers in multiple fights so we know there is an unbalanced advantage on the ground for Khamidov

Mousasi vs. Edwards
Fabian Edwards, TKO, R3
IGNORE PROPS. There is alot to like in Fabian. One thing wanna stress is that he only loss by dec (like to pick dogs who never been finished). Not only that but he never really took damage in his career (as of recent and in his losses to Steenis/Vanderford) which is promising. Mousasi legend of sport and tons of XP, however I think youth will play a factor. Fabian’s game is identical to his bro and definitely has a path to victory if the fight stays standing. Mousasi cardio and output is a bit questionable based on recency bias and believe he will have to pull a Gamrot/Sabatello/Merab type gameplan. Fabian’s diverse skillset, durability, and youth overall looks promising. Going with the dog at 2.8.

Good insight I was thinking I will pick Edwards, Mousasi looked a but unmotivated in his last one he has been around the block... Edwards is on the rise and from that team Renegade where they have alot of good energy at the moment minus Arnold's last loss, theres no reason why he should lose this, unless Mousasi is too skilled and can really show up motivated, Mousasi has (maybe alot) more training under his belt, but bet on black as they say
