We have a UFC Fight Night happening on Saturday night at the Pachanga Arena in San Diego, California in a light heavyweight clash between Devin Clark and Azamat Murzakanov. Both fighters are trying to get into the rankings as both are unranked as the UFC schedule keeps on turning.
Last Fight Records
Devin Clark is coming off a third round TKO victory back on UFC on ESPN 34 against William Knight on April 16. Azamat Murzakanov is also coming off a third round knockout win over Tafon Nchukwi on March 12 t UFC Fight Night 203.
Clark vs. Murzakanov Betting Analysis
These fighters are older than the typical UFC fighter as both are 32 years or older, but they both have a solid chance to win this fight. Let’s take a deeper dive into both men as they prepare to lock up in the octagon on Saturday night.
Devin Clark content
Devin “Brown Bear” Clark has been doing pretty well in his professional MMA career as he has posted a 13-6 record. He is sliding down to the light heavyweight division after fighting as a heavyweight most of his career. The big issue is going to be stamina as he is dropping a good amount of weight as he is listed at 223 pounds, but needs to be at a maximum of 205 pounds. Clark is not a fighter that has a finishing move either as eight of his 13 career wins (62 percent) have come off a decision, including six of his last seven wins. He has his hands full, but has shown the ability to win fights like this before.
Azamat Murzakanov content
“The Professional” Azamat Murzakanov has dominated throughout his pro career as the Russian is sitting undefeated at 11-0 entering this bout. Since joining the UFC through last year’s Contender Series, he is 2-0 with a pair of knockouts and has caused havoc in the light heavyweight division. Eight of his 11 professional victories (73 percent) have come with a knockout attached, including four of his last five fights. The only issue is he is currently 35 years old and could be struggling to move around a bit in the octagon.
Updates
Neither fighter has reported any injuries prior or during their respective training camp heading into this fight, so we should be under the assumption that both Clark and Murzakanov are entering the cage at 100 percent.
Clark vs. Murzakanov Betting Preview
The UFC odds for this fight according to DraftKings Sportsbook has Azamat Murzakanov as a slight -145 favorite to win this fight while Devin Clark is currently sitting at +125 to walk out of the octagon victorious.
Clark vs. Murzakanov Betting Prediction
Devin Clark and Azamat Murzakanov have been doing well throughout their careers and this is going to be a highly competitive fight. Murzakanov has been aggressive and extremely powerful with his strikes as he is averaging 2.18 knockdowns per 15 minutes, which is more than six times more than what Clark is averaging. Clark has struggled in the UFC as he has a 7-6 career record and fighting down a weight class definitely is not going to make it any easier for a guy that does not have incredible power behind his strikes. Murzakanov does not take his time inside of the octagon and he should dominate early and often here. Go with Azamat Murzakanov to remain undefeated and improve to 12-0 as my best UFC picks for this fight.
