Magomedov vs Alves Prediction 18 May 2024
Match Preview
On May 19th, in the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 241, Abusupiyan Magomedov and Warlley Alves will compete for victory, and we offer a unique prediction for the fight between the Russian and the Brazilian. Both competitors are not in the best of spirits as they approach the duel. After all, both fighters have had poor performances in their last bouts and need to urgently rectify the situation in the world's premier league.
33-year-old Abusupiyan Magomedov has an interesting sports life. Born in Dagestan, he now competes under the German flag. Abus has recently been trying his hand in the UFC, but after a successful debut in the organization, he suffered 2 consecutive losses. Magomedov could do nothing against Sean Strickland (TKO) and Caio Borralho (loss by decision).
Interestingly, the Brazilian Warlley Alves is also 33 years old, and he too hopes for balanced skills in the octagon. While Abusupiyan can be noted for kickboxing as his strongest base, Warlley equally finishes opponents by KO and submissions. Alves has a worse win rate than his counterpart: 14-7 compared to the Russian's 25-6-1. However, as a former TUF contestant, he has amassed a decent UFC record of 8-7, although he is currently on a three-fight losing streak.
In terms of knockout power, Magomedov is slightly better than Alves, but the Brazilian is quite proficient on the ground. Therefore, we can expect a fairly even fight here. And, most likely, motivated by their recent setbacks, the opponents will not take risks in the first few minutes, and the bout will last a couple of rounds.
