Damir Ismagulov vs Guram Kutateladze
Date: 19/06/22
Time: 02:30 utc

Damir Ismagulov
Age: 31 years
Country: Russia
Damir Ismagulov is from Kazakhstan but represents Russia. He has 23 victories and 1 loss in his track record. Once a champion of the M-1 Challenge, but now he sets higher goals and objectives. In the UFC, Damir already has four victories in a row, and if not for the injury and a long downtime, he could improve his performance. The last time he entered the arena was in May 2021 and defeated Rafael Alves on points.

Guram Kutateladze
Age: 30 years
Country: Georgia
Guram Kutateladze is a Georgian fighter who trains in Sweden. Guram has a professional record of 12 wins and two losses. In the UFC, he fought back only once and was able to defeat the top rank Mateusz Gamrot. However, the victory was given to Guram very hard, only by a separate decision of the judges. Thus, he managed to extend his winning streak to 9 fights. But it is worth remembering that his last performance took place in 2020.

Prediction:
Ismagulov's style is more prudent, he is the same fighter who practically does not take risks in his fights. Plus, he tries to develop in almost all disciplines, including improving his grappling skills. 
With Gamrot, Guram showed himself well, but after this fight he did not compete for too long. It is completely unknown in what form he approaches such an important battle. I think that Damir's style is more calculated, he leads the fight more competently and better combines all the elements of the fight. Most likely, Damir Ismagulov will play better.
My prediction: Damir Ismagulov will win @1.5 odds ( Pinnacle )
