⭐ Editorial Prediction
Nikita Mikhailov is a heavy favorite according to the bookmakers. But is it really that straightforward in this matchup? Certainly not. This is exactly the kind of pairing where an upset could be on the cards. We are well aware that Mikhailov struggles with takedown defense and has a limited grappling arsenal. We believe that against such a seasoned opponent, who will look to dominate on the ground, Emelianenko's protégé might face significant challenges.
