Trevin Jones vs Saidyokub Kakhramonov Analysis

Trevin Jones (13-6) vs Saidyokub Kakhramonov (8-2)

Bantamweight (135)

Trevin Jones

Knockout power, a solid chin, a wealth of experience despite his poor record and underrated BJJ all favour the Guam native. Valiev’s first round against Jones may well be replicated a second time around. Kakhramonov loves to burst forwards with flurries of shots, while Jones patiently evades the significant strikes before landing a hard single shot counter. The counter lead hook out of the southpaw stance is often too much of a surprise for lower-level competition.

Saidyokub Kakhramonov

Short notice call-up from a green fighter who is facing an opponent with clear holes in his game. Kakhramonov’s game is based around heavy flurries in the pocket transitioning into single legs. Sure, this style rules at the regional level, yet it almost always comes undone at the UFC level. To sit in front of Trevin Jones would play into his opponent’s low volume high power striking. If Jones can be sat down on the mat early, Kakhramonov may gain confidence over the fight and secure a shock victory over a fighter who struggles to force his best attributes into a fight.

Predicted Result: Jones TKO Round 3

Kakhramonov loves to burst forwards with flurries of shots, while Jones patiently evades the significant strikes before landing a hard single shot counter. If Jones can be sat down on the mat early, Kakhramonov may gain confidence over the fight and secure a shock victory over a fighter who struggles to force his best attributes into a fight. Most likely, Kakhramonov relies on his chin often during ugly exchanges in the pocket, with Jones’ cleaner strikes eventually making the breakthrough.
