I don't know man,missing weight is never a good sign.He might not have trained hard enough.And Killa isn't someone to underestimate the guy is extremely powerful for 155.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   correct Decision  

I really like Abel, but Khabib has a really solid record, I can't count out that experience. Plus, he just showed to be dangerous against great grapplers - I'm pretty much thinking that the best chance for Trujillo is mixing explosive striking and takedowns to get a KO.

That crazy Russian **** could wrestle a bear, down a litre of Vodka and then do the walk out on his hands 10 minutes before fighting Trujillo and I'd still pick him.

Seems like Khabib might be overlooking him, makes this fight a lot closer than I thought. Those who are still super confident in Khabib really need to think about this for a second, and on top of that not making weight. I'm probably still picking him but I may change it closer to fight time because of these factors and the fact that Abel is a strong guy and Khabib's offensive wrestling isn't to die for.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Abel is a strong guy. He isn't stronger than Tibau.

His wrestling is top notch. It's his striking that needs to be improved if he wants to set up those TD's more effectively. His offensive wrestling had him consistently taking down Shalorus who Jamie Varner struggled to take down and Miller from what I recall wanted nothing to do with.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I could co-sign that Tibau could be stronger than Abel, but then again Tibau by his looks should be able to take down anyone and he can't. I'm not sold on Khabib's offensive wrestling as he usually uses his grappling for TDD. Especially not sold yet against top wrestlers as he couldn't get Tibau down when they clinched up and got into grapple-mode but his Sambo skills are impressive which he usually uses in reverse.

I still like Khabib to win with a TKO from his striking advantage but to me it's not as easy as it sounds.

Im gonna take a risk here and pick the upset, Nurmagomedov doesn't seem to be taking Abel seriously.It might backfire on him.

@mikey And Kongo looks like he should be the undisputed king of the universe... What's your point? 

Tibau surprisingly has the second best TDD % in the UFC so Khabib's inability to take him down is more of a reflection on how good Gleison is at keeping the fight standing.

@jaffacakehero....No Kongo doesn't look like the best, if you look at him you can tell he doesn't have good takedown defense. You claimed Tibau was stronger, which I could co-sign but there's no way to tell since Tibau hasn't been able to take everyone down he fights or keep them down, sure takedown defense shows strength but I wouldn't say Tibau is the strongest guy at 155 even though he looks like it and cuts the most down to 155 from 195.

What are you talking about? Are you honestly saying that in your mind strength equates to offensive wrestling skill? Bigfoot and Mir couldn't take Cormier down no matter how hard they tried but they are both obviously stronger than him. 

Also, you can tell Kongo has poor takedown defense just by looking at his physique? That's a ridiculously nonsensical statement.

I'm afraid Khabib could be injured or something... he seems like a hard worker to me. Now I fear for my prediction.

Definitely not 100% sure with this fight. If Nurmagomedov missed weight by that much, either he didn't take this fight seriously or he's injured. Neither are good and this could end badly for his undefeated streak.

Khabib on paper is pretty much the superior fighter but I just have a feeling Trujillo's gonna look impressive.

Nurmagomedov missing weight sounds bad but it's hard for me to see him not nuking Trujillo anyway.
