Prediction: correct Khabilov   correct Decision  

I love the chemistry of this fight, Khabilov has that wicked clinch game and the effective sambo suplexes which makes his style unique and will give him the win.

Wow, no comments for this one? Well, I think rustam has potential but masvidal has experience, which imo, wins this. Other than that this may be just a grapple fest.

Rustam has fantastic Sambo-style grappling, but is he a better grappler than Chiesa?

This should be a good fight, its got FOTN potential. I think Masvidal grinds this one out.

Prediction: wrong Masvidal   wrong Decision  

Khabilov has no real noteworthy wins as of yet but if you want to know about him hes part of this exploding wave of Dagestani fighters in MMA ( Khabib, Khabilov, Frodo, Shahbula ect) He spends a lot of time training at Greg Jacksons, hes 26/27 and 16-1 with 2 KO wins via suplex one by belly to belly suplex the other was literally a triple suplex KO in his UFC debut straight Kurt Angle ****. Most of his wins came at 170lbs and Edson Barboza refused to fight Khabilov when the bout was scheduled, some would say ducked him. If Im not mistaken he came up in M-1 fighting other Slavic prospects with solid records.

Just remembered Tapology lists records and ages, Im an idiot.

Prediction: correct Khabilov   correct Decision  

This is the most difficult fight to call on the UFN 31 card. I'm thorn on this one. Both men have momentum coming from impressive wins. Stylistically I think Khabilov has the tools to neutralize Masvidal and that's probably why he opened at -250. The public has since rallied on Masvidal and seems closer to a pick'em fight now.

Prediction: correct Khabilov   correct Decision  

I actually think Masvidal should be the favorite due to his solid TDD, boxing, and overall solid grappling, but I'm a big enough fan of Khabilov that I will generally pick him regardless of who he is fighting.

Prediction: correct Khabilov   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Masvidal got dropped by MC in his last fight, which makes me think he is going to get caught with one of Khabilovs crazy looping punches. I can see this becoming a clinch fight with Khabilov winning 30-27. But Masvidal is one of my favorite fighters and i hope he can pull this one off.

I my opinion Jorge is a little bit better than Rustam is Striking, but Habilov have a great wres tling skils, and I thin it will be his key to win this fight.Anyway both fighter is so tough and the winner will one step closer to the top of lightweight devision.

Colby Covington, he's Masvidals room mate and training partner.
