Alen Amedovski (8-2) vs Yaozong Hu (3-2)
Middleweight (185)
Alen Amedovski
A name I had forgotten about, Amedovski is the man that was iced by John Phillips in under fifteen seconds. Despite a terrible TDD, Amedovski usually rushes out the blocks and looks to sleep opponents with looping yet powerful hooks. A jittery bouncing style, Amedovski is at least approaches with an entertaining kill or be killed mentality.
Yaozong Hu
After a two-year suspension by USADA, Yaozong returns to almost zero fanfare. Still searching for his first victory in the UFC, Yaozong is a defensively frail fighter who rides on his durability and ground wrestling. Perhaps a move to Middleweight, after debuting at Heavyweight, will bring fortune.
Predicted Result: Yaozong Decision
After a two-year suspension by USADA, Yaozong returns to almost zero fanfare. A durable, grinding wrestler, Yaozong’s move to Middleweight may see him more capably hold his own. Amedovski is a limited fighter, rushing out the blocks with the sole intent to sleep fighters. This is a man iced by John Phillips, though. Even after dropping the PEDs, Yaozong’s grinding wrestling should significantly kill the mood to kickstart the show.
