Prediction for the fight Petr Yan vs Marcus McGee
Former bantamweight champion Petr Yan has been paired with Marcus McGee, a fighter 10 spots lower in the rankings. A dubious choice on the part of matchmakers, but in any case, the guys will fight at UFC on ABC 9 in Abu Dhabi, on July 26. Will "The Merciless" be able to handle the dark horse?
In his last five fights, Yan has failed to deliver on his bet on victory three times, losing in a row to the "Funk Master", Sean O'Malley, and then Dvalishvili. Song Yadong and Deiveson Figueiredo became "victims" of the "Ruthless"'s return to the winning path.
The bets on McGee winning have been coming in for 6 times in a row, in his last fight he defeated Jonathan Martinez, fighting back all 3 rounds for the first time in his career. Now, Marcus is expecting a huge leap forward in terms of the level of opposition.
It is quite possible that in the first round, "The Merciless" will have to move a lot, avoiding direct fights with McGee, since this is unlikely to lead to anything good. Then, traditionally, Petr will start to pick up the pace, deliver more blows and take the remaining rounds in episodes. And do not think that such an underdog as Marcus will become easy prey for him - the fight is coming, difficult, tactical and Yan's fate in the bantamweight division depends on it.
Prediction: Total Over (2.5) by rounds/Petr Yan wins
Petr Yan vs Marcus McGee
Petr Yan
Having added a couple of victories to his assets, Petr will not move from the 3rd line of the rating. He has a championship in the UFC behind him, as well as ACB, by base the Russian boxer, in which he shows himself best.In his last five fights, Yan has failed to deliver on his bet on victory three times, losing in a row to the "Funk Master", Sean O'Malley, and then Dvalishvili. Song Yadong and Deiveson Figueiredo became "victims" of the "Ruthless"'s return to the winning path.
Strengths
Yan's main trump cards were and remain speed, gradual build-up of tempo, good cardio and boxing technique. Although, he also mastered kicks perfectly, in addition to this actively pumping up his skills on the ground.Weaknesses
At this stage of his career, Peter made many adjustments, since before that, he had difficulties finding a comfortable fighting distance, had problems with wrestling, but all this was revealed in him by the best of the best, which cannot be said about our athlete’s future opponent.The current form and readiness of the fighter
Yan is 32 years old and is in excellent shape, rested and recharged. Yes, fights with such opponents are always a challenge, as there are always surprises, but Petr's current condition indicates that he may soon find himself in a title fight.
Marcus McGee
"Maniac" is ranked 13th. In 4 fights in the UFC, he has already won 3 bonuses, all thanks to his striking power - boxing is one of the key basic disciplines in his arsenal.The bets on McGee winning have been coming in for 6 times in a row, in his last fight he defeated Jonathan Martinez, fighting back all 3 rounds for the first time in his career. Now, Marcus is expecting a huge leap forward in terms of the level of opposition.
Strengths
McGee never waits for the right moment - he goes to tear off the opponent's head with his sledgehammers. Lots of pressure, supplementing the defense with body work, as well as an abundance of accented strikes, allowed him to take 9 of his 10 wins early. In addition, with fighters of his level, he defended himself quite well from transfers.Weaknesses
For top-class counter-strikers, Marcus' style is even convenient, he tries to catch up with his opponents too fiercely. And on the floor, he has not yet been tested by good wrestlers. Simply put, the lack of experience will be revealed by those who have more than enough of it.The current form and readiness of the fighter
The fighter is 35 years old, he started quite late, but this did not prevent him from going on a confident winning streak. "Maniac" gained good strength, finally got experience in going the 15-minute distance, and now he will fight the ex-champion. So, we should expect from him an even greater desire to win ahead of schedule.Comparative analysis
Marcus will be bigger, slightly longer in arm span and certainly more aggressive in fighting style. He has enough power in his hands to knock anyone down, but the quality of Petr's defense and maneuverability will play a significant role here.It is quite possible that in the first round, "The Merciless" will have to move a lot, avoiding direct fights with McGee, since this is unlikely to lead to anything good. Then, traditionally, Petr will start to pick up the pace, deliver more blows and take the remaining rounds in episodes. And do not think that such an underdog as Marcus will become easy prey for him - the fight is coming, difficult, tactical and Yan's fate in the bantamweight division depends on it.
Petr Yan vs Marcus McGee Prediction
The odds scream about a mismatch for McGee, but common sense suggests that everything will be much more difficult. Petr will certainly not be able to finish him quickly, so we are expecting "sweaty" 3 rounds, the beginning of which Marcus is able to crush under himself. That is why, considering the not the best odds for Yan, it is wiser to bet on the duration of the meeting, in search of higher odds.
