Gaziev's cardio is a bit suspect but hes going to be a problem for many heavyweights.

Impressive cardio from Gaziev though he got some extra rests from his bloody handiwork. Hope he wasn't on the sauce so we get to see him soon again.

Buday didn't show anything that fight. I thought Gaziev was better and would win but for a 4-0 HW Buday looked pretty poor

I donā€™t understand why buday was the favourite, like I get it on paper he was 4-0 in the ufc but he fought the bottom of the barrel opponents and shouldā€™ve lost to Brzeski

Gaziev not only has KO Power but also has a fairly varied selection of strikes and has good timing when selecting his attacks.
