Guram vs Mullarkey
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 490 Points | Tied for 1138th
I think he just does not match up well with Guram though. Guram is a big dude for the weight class and cuts a decent amount of weight, his striking style can tend to be more explosive and involving a lot of footwork than perhaps it should be in terms of cardio management. His takedown defense should hold up though and especially so against Mullarkey who has solid offensive grappling but is not a i love turtles takedown artist or anything of the sort.
There might be a world where Jamie can turn this is into a grind of a fight and gradually wear Guram down. However I think Guram is just too good on the feet and too fast and hard hitting to give Jamie much of a chance to get into the fight. Especially the way Guram mixes up his straight punches with punches that curl around the defense I think he catches Jamie a few times early and gets a finish or coasts to a dominant UD.
Guram via 2nd round TKO most likely.

Of course it is a different fight and styles, variables make fights but this should be a good fight for Kai.
This is taking the former injury in account if he is still injured who knows.

I believe Albazi is a better striker than Askarov though. He also puts on pressure which is good to do vs KKF. I think if KKF wins outside of landing a big shot it's through cardio. Then again neither guy has gone past the third round in the UFC so it's more a matter of KKF looking more relaxed and having more experience of high level fights that would lead me to believe his cardio might be better, we haven't actually seen either guy in a round 4.

KKF has really good TDD but it's not like he's beaten this gauntlet of good grapplers. He got held down for an entire round by Askarov, then hurt him badly and narrowly ended up winning a close fight. The only other decent grappler he's fought and had some success against is Moreno, and that was only in the 2nd fight where the result was even worse than the first time they fought.
Pretty much only see this fight going 2 ways.
1) 2nd or 3rd round KO for KKF
2) Late sub or DEC for Albazi
Or, in the form of a question: Does KKF hurt Albazi badly enough to get him out of there before he starts to fade and make himself more susceptible to Albazi's grappling?

I don't rate Kai striking to highly, But I rate his takedown defence very highly, And usually has good jiu-jitsu when not rocked by Rovyal

Zhalgas is the only decent competition Albazi has faced in the UFC and Zhalgas was landing some clean shots. But Zhalgas probably has less power than most women in the 115 lb division so Albazi could keep pressuring him.

And like you said, it wasn't like Albazi landed a lucky shot. He beat him up bad for 2.5 rounds and that uppercut he finally got him with in the 3rd was nasty.

Douglas Crosby is the only judge who scored this fight correctly.1st and 3rd should have been for Guram. That was not an illegal knee with ~20 seconds left. Guram might have been able to get a finish in such an advantageous position and if nothing else it ruined the optics of the moment for him for at least 2 judges.
