Grant Dawson vs Nurullo Aliev

👊 Grant Dawson and Nurullo Aliev are set to square off in a lightweight bout at UFC 333. The American enters the Octagon with a professional record of 24 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, having secured a submission victory in his most recent outing. Aliev, meanwhile, remains undefeated, boasting a perfect 12-0 record and riding a five-fight winning streak. Both fighters are known for their grappling prowess, but Dawson brings considerably more UFC experience to the table. However, the Tajik standout has proven difficult to take down, defending nearly 80% of takedown attempts against him.

We recommend considering a bet on Nurullo Aliev to win. The Tajik fighter has yet to taste defeat in his professional career and has prevailed in each of his last five contests. His impressive takedown defense could neutralize Dawson’s primary weapon—control on the ground. Additionally, Dawson has struggled against top-tier opponents and has suffered several stoppage losses. Given Aliev’s wrestling pedigree and consistent performances, we’re backing the undefeated prospect to claim victory by judges’ decision.
