UPD: Apparently Emeev got sick and is out of the card. That sucks, but what can you do. I guess I'm just not gonna consider him as a young/hungry prospect anymore. Petr Yan on the other hand is a prospect, he's gonna have his 4th fight in eight months in 20 days, and he's already fighting a number 8/9 in the rankings. He TKO'ed Ishihara in his debut with a foot injury, that alone tells a lot about the kind of mentality a certain fighter has. Zabit dominated Bochniak with a broken hand (before the fight started). Volkov fought and KO'ed Werdum whilst being sick. The list goes on and on.

Czech fighters
In Czech Republic was many speculations, that two biggest Czech fighters there will be, but at this moment, I cant found any Fight card with Czech fighter - except woman Pudilova...Dont you know, what happens? This is usual for UFC, that they dont care about "home" Fighters? Thanks!

Man, this is hard one to envision. Naurdiev is very good, and the tractor is a tractor. Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. Can Ismail control Trator? I'm not sure. He's definitely not going to KO or sub him, so he'll have to win a decision. That's a tall order for anyone, because Prazeres is built like a ******* brick bean oven, has a low center of gravity and legs like ancient redwoods. To add to that, if he lands on his opponent clean they're probably going to crumple like a tissue in a thunderstorm. Yes, he's getting on, but he's one of those dudes that just kind of seems to age well, like henderson or romero.
Thing about Ismail is that he's got very good distance management, decent reads, but relatively poor footwork. He's Flat-footed, and not very good at moving backwards, especially. Which is fine against most people, but a very dangerous thing to not be good at against an explosive fighter like Prazeres.
I like Ismail but I don't think he's got the right style to deal with Prazeres who may just be some kind of Neanderthal or cryptid primate captured from deep in the Amazon, who has been shaved, taught cursory language, and fights for payment in exotic fruit, and the need to satiate a pulsing bloodlust by smashing anything with hair to death. After each fight, his manager ( who is actually a rogue zoologist) probably puts him back on a leash which is a chain as thick as a wharfie's arm, feeds him three baskets of acai, nineteen whole papayas, a bushel of jaboticaba, then locks him in an iron-barred cage housed in a dungeon somewhere until it's time for the next bout. I'm not sure if he wins by sub or TKO, I'm gonna go with the latter.
Prazeres TKO R2.
