Although this is one of my least favorite divisions for main-card openers, Magomedov vs. Olekseijczuk should produce some weird action for as long as it lasts.Olekseijczuk may have strangely bucked his quick finish or bust trend in his last outing, but I'm still not sure how much the Pole has actually changed despite shifting his recent camps over to the Fighting Nerds team.
Despite Magomedov having his fair share of Jekyll-and-Hyde fights with his smash-or-gas sensibilities, I suspect that the Dagestani's superior length and wrestling could be enough in what has all the feels of your classic trap fight.The pick is Magomedov to find a submission on the floor by Round 2.Abus Magomedov vs.
