There are a total of 14 matches in this issue, this article is a preview of the analysis of the main battle card, and the game will start live broadcasting at 10:30 pm Beijing time on October 30.
#1 Main Card Main Race Light Heavyweight Muhammad. Ankarayev vs. Volkan Ozdimir
muhammad. Ankarayev currently has a record of 14 wins and 1 loss, including 8 KO/TKO wins. The tough guy from Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, Russia, studied classical wrestling while studying at Dagestan State University while earning the Battle Sambo Sports Master certification. Winner of the Russian regional WFCA light heavyweight championship (founded by chechen current President Kadyrov Jr.), signed with UFC in 2018, and then won 6 wins and 1 loss (3 bonuses), and won the last game unanimously to defeat Nikita. Krylov.
Wolkham. Ozdmir currently has a record of 17 wins and 5 losses, including 12 KO/TKO wins and 1 surrender. The kickboxer, nicknamed "No Time," was born in French-speaking Switzerland to a Kurdish father. Maintained a record of 5 all-5 wins over professional kickboxing; won the Danish valhalla light heavyweight championship; signed with the UFC in 2017, after which he won 5 wins and 4 losses (2 bonuses), the UFC 220 won the championship challenge, TKO lost to the then champion Komir, the last game was played by Giri. Prohazka KO defeated.
Before the game, the bookmakers were very optimistic about Ankaraev's victory. As a wrestler-turned-champion of combat Sambo Sports, the Russians do not have high initiative in launching a wrestling, tending to rely on accurate heavy blows to solve the battle, the accuracy of the blow is very high, but the performance of clapping his hands at the last second of the debut makes the outside world question his willpower. Oz demir was extremely strong in the early stages of the game, and the fall resistance rate was also at the top of the weasel. To be fair, although Ankarayev is currently in the longest 6-game winning streak in the light and heavyweight category, he is far less experienced than his opponents in fighting with top masters, and if Oz demir can always keep the battlefield in the standing field, there is no small possibility of upsetting. Taken together, individuals are cautiously optimistic about Ankaraev's victory.
#2 Main Card Main Welterweight Li Jingliang vs. Hamzat Chimayev
Li Jingliang's current record is 18 wins and 6 losses, including 9 KO/TKO wins and 4 surrenders. A "vampire" from Tacheng, Xinjiang, China, with a background in Sanda and Chinese wrestling. In 2008, he went to Beijing to train MMA with Zhang Tiequan, the "leader of China's UFC". Winner of the Second MiddleWeight Championship of the Legend of the Martial Arts (LFC) tournament in Hong Kong, China, signed with the UFC in 2014, and then won 10 wins and 4 losses (6 bonuses), and defeated Santiago in the first leg of the last leg. Penznibbio.
Hamzat. Chimaev currently has a record of 9 wins and 0 losses, including 6 KO/TKO wins and 3 surrenders. Born in the Chechnya region of Russia, the supernova nicknamed "Wolf King" began training wrestling at the age of 5 and won a bronze medal at the Russian National Junior Wrestling Championships; at the age of 19, the family immigrated to Sweden and won the Swedish national championship of free wrestling six times. At the age of 23, he trained with Gustavson, a former champion challenger in the UFC light heavyweights, at the age of 23, and after signing with the UFC in 2020, he won three consecutive wins (3 bonuses) and defeated Gerald Millschett in the first leg of the last game.
Before the game, the bookmaker was extremely curious about Maev's victory. The newcomer, who has played just three UFC games, recorded an instant burst of traffic with a wave of the second shortest span in history (10 days in the middle/middle welters) and the fastest triple win interval in UFC's modern history (66 days), but unfortunately the new crown hit slowed down the pace of progress during the upswing period.
Li Jingliang has the top standing finishing ability of the sub-middleweight, and the number of KO/TKO final wins is the third highest in the history of the UFC sub-middleweight; the total number of KD knockdowns (9) is also ranked fourth in the history of the welterweight. Preparations were made for boxing, wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Although most of the boxing fan media before the game, except for the Chinese region, looked down on Li Jingliang, but in terms of the energy pumped by The pre-match weighing, it was a great increase in confidence and countless fans. Dialectically, as the strongest newcomer, Chimaev did not suffer the biggest test of his career, and the three quick wins also covered up whether there were hidden dangers in his later physical fitness. And Liangge's hard power has been confirmed many times, and I absolutely firmly hope that China's power will once again shock the world. This is the second of the recommended must-see matches before the White Dana match
#3 Main Card Main Race Heavyweight Alexander. Volkov vs. Marchin Dibra
Alexander. Volkov currently has a record of 33 wins and 9 losses, including 22 KO/TKO wins and 3 surrenders. The player from Moscow, Russia, was affectionately nicknamed "Second Floor" by boxing fans because he was second only to the "skyscraper" Struf. Having won the record at the world's second largest MMA event, Bellator, and M-1 Global, the biggest event in Russia, he signed with the UFC in 2016 and won 7 wins and 3 losses (3 bonuses), and lost to Cyril in the last game. Gain.
Marchin. Dibra currently has a record of 22 wins and 6 losses, including 9 KO/TKO wins and 6 surrenders. Nicknamed "Tabor", the Polish Ujyuw player received a master's degree in physical education from Lodz University. In 2006, I learned about MMA under the introduction of a friend, and it took a few years to start formal training. Also a heavyweight champion of M-1 Global, he signed with UFC in 2016 and finished with a record of 9 wins and 5 losses (3 bonuses), and defeated Walter in the last game TKO. Harris.
Before the game, the bookmakers were very optimistic about Volkov's victory. Russian tall people who are more than two meters tall have Luyuanliu karate black belt, extreme vacuum hand road brown belt, and Baru brown belt. In recent years, the body size has continued to evolve, and has now reached the full level, with its latest ghost face tattoo, the lethality of the heavy punch is not the same, but it is lamentable that it will lose its front hoof at the critical moment of the championship challenge, and the other 10 days ago, it will be promoted to father again, and the second child will be welcomed.
The Dibra style is partial to the wrestling system, which has the highest anti-wrestling category in the history of the weasel (82.1%), and is currently in the peak of his career five consecutive wins, and his ability to resist blows has improved significantly, often being able to reverse the tide in the following rounds when the start is inferior. However, I personally think that it is difficult for Dibra to pull the tall Andrkov into the ground in this game, and it is optimistic that Volkov will win.
#4 Main Card Main Race Lightweight Islam. Makhachev vs. Dan Hooke
Islam. Makhachev currently has a record of 20 wins and 1 loss, including 3 KO/TKO wins and 9 surrenders. Similar to many Dagestan mountain teenagers, Makhachev practiced free wrestling from an early age, then learned martial arts such as Sambo under the cultivation of "Eagle Daddy", and after signing with the UFC in 2015 with his outstanding performance in the M-1 Challenge, the largest MMA event in russia, he won 9 wins and 1 loss (1 bonus) and is currently in a wave of 8 consecutive wins, with a demotion victory over Tiago in the last game. Moises.
cinnabar. Hooke currently has a record of 21 wins and 10 losses, including 10 KO/TKO wins and 7 surrenders. The "executioner" from New Zealand started his career by winning the supremacy fighting championship (SFC) and the Australian FC, and also participated in the Chinese martial arts legend (naked to Wu Haotian, TKO defeated Wu Chengjie), signing with UFC in 2014. After a 3-3 record (1 bonus) in the featherweights, he returned to the lightweight in 2017, followed by a 7-3 record (4 bonuses), and a unanimous victory over Naslat in the last game. Hack Palast.
Before the game, the bookmakers were extremely optimistic about Makhachev's victory. Perhaps influenced by the name "Kitty's chosen successor", the Dagestan has soared in popularity in recent years, with more delicate standing skills than his brothers, but slightly weaker ground control, although keen to stand up for the first two minutes per round and has the lowest number of hits per minute (0.77 hits per minute) in UFC history. But in my opinion, the key to victory still relies on the old bank to grind blood on the ground after the fall.
And Hooke's height and arm span occupies an absolute advantage, high sweep, left hook punch, up step knee strike are its signature actions, but the torso resistance ability is general, easy to be hit by abdominal punches or mid-sweep liver kicks and injuries, the ground ability developed in the last game, especially for the understanding of lateral suppression technology, make full use of the waist span power to stabilize the control after the ground smashing surprise. However, considering the huge wrestling gap between "Little Fat Tiger" Hack Parast and Makhachev, and Hooke's haste to play in less than a month of preparation. Personally, this game is still optimistic about Makhachev's victory.
#5 Co-Main Event Joint Main Tournament Flyweight Provisional Championship Battle Peter. Yan vs. Corey Sandhagen
Peter. Yan currently has a record of 15 wins and 2 losses, including 7 KO/TKO wins and 1 surrender. The former champion, nicknamed "No Mercy," was born in Dukinka, Russia, and now resides in Yekaterinburg. With 4/4 Chinese ancestry, 8 years of boxing training background. Graduated from Siberian Federal University with a degree in sports. He won the FIRST INFWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEED IN THE RUSSIAN REGIONAL EVENT He signed with UFC in 2018 and has a record of 7 wins and 1 loss (2 bonuses). UFC 251 TKO defeated Aldo to win the vacant chickweight championship, and lost to Sterling in the first defensive match due to a knee violation in the last game.
Corey. Sandhagen currently has a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, including 6 KO/TKO wins and 3 surrenders. Nicknamed "Sandman", the Colorado guy in the United States, was a member of the varsity basketball team in high school, has a background in kickboxing, and has won the WKA World Championship title several times. He graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in psychology and worked part-time at the Children's Trauma Center in addition to his training. Winner of the Sparta Combat League (SPARTA Combat League) featherweight championship. He signed with the UFC in 2018 and has a record of 7 wins and 2 losses (3 bonuses), and the difference in the last game was decided to lose to TJ Dilashaw.
The pre-match bookmaker was very bullish on Peter. Yan wins. Adhering to his nickname style, the strong player does not talk much in the game, and the boxer-turned boxer has the largest total KD knockdowns in the history of the first-largest number of welterweights (9 times), the balance of strength between the front and back frames, the fourth highest strike difference rate in history (2.44) and the second highest success rate of the hold (66.7%) to verify his technical comprehensiveness. However, the biggest problem in Peter Yan's game is that he is often too cautious in the early stages, and will gradually exert his strength after figuring out the opponent's routine, but once he fails to gain a significant advantage in the mid-term catch-up, it is very likely that he will be at a disadvantage in the judgment. In addition, X factor this game more than 150 hometown fathers and elders chartered planes to the scene to create a home atmosphere for them.
Sandhagen has the hardware talent of the most supermodel in the youngweight class, the advantage of height and arm span can make him use the stabbing to gain a point kill advantage when walking around backwards, and the high sweep and flying knee power honed after a long period of training in the famous Elevation Fight Team has been proven many times. But its habitual back-to-back problem field has still not improved, and its key battles have always felt bad. This field is personally cautiously optimistic about Peter. Yan wins.
#6 Main Event Headlines Main Tournament Light Heavyweight Championship Battle Yang. Bračovich vs. Glover Teixeira
Yang. Bračevic currently has a record of 28 wins and 8 losses, including 8 KO/TKO wins and 9 surrenders. The current champion from the Cieszyn region of Poland, who was influenced by action movies at the age of 9 and switched from judo to martial arts training, bajo black belt, has won several European regional Muay Thai and BJJ championships. He now resides in the capital, Warsaw. Winner of the KSW Light Heavyweight Championship, Poland's largest MMA event. He signed with the UFC in 2014 and has since achieved an 11-5 record (tied for 3rd most in 6 bonuses/welt history). UFC 253 on TKO won the vacant light heavyweight championship after defeating Reyes, and the winner was unanimously decided to defend the title for the first time in the last game, and became the first player in the MMA field to beat Adi Saya.
Glover. Teixeira currently has a record of 32 wins and 7 losses, including 18 KO/TKO wins and 9 surrenders. Born in rural Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil, Teixeira moved to Connecticut in 1999 and officially became a U.S. citizen in November 2020.

After signing with the UFC in 2012, with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses (7 bonuses/welt all-time 2nd in the history), the UFC 172 won the championship challenge, unanimously decided to lose to the then champion Jones, and defeated Thiago in the last game naked. Santos.
Before the game, the bookmakers were strongly optimistic about Blačevic's victory. The average age of this championship match is second only to that year's Bispin and Henderson, but the two veterans are currently in a state of great rejuvenation. Blačovich is definitely an inspirational representative, early into the league to see people deceived, once on the verge of termination, but at the end of 2017 seems to open the second pulse of Ren Dou, 10 games to win 9 games. The sweeping power is amazing, and the huge physique makes the tangling or ground field have no fear. This preparation almost connected all the forces of the polish mainland elite at a high level in order to successfully defend the title.
In my personal opinion, in addition to age and leg technique, Teixeira is slightly superior in all aspects, as an outstanding representative of standing and ground double repair, Lao Xie sits on the UFC light heavyweight history of the highest number of terminations (12 times) and surrender victories (6 times), especially last year, the 42-year-old is still back-to-back reverse to end the two good hands "Lionheart" and "Brazilian Thunder Hammer", showing admirable tough qualities. The preparation invited the kickboxing master Pereira to improve his standing level. Whoever wins the first place in TD may be the key to winning, and personal caution is optimistic about Teixeira's upset win.
