Preview

After numerous fight changes, Trevin Jones finally got one to stick in the form Saidyokub Kakhramonov. Since entering the UFC ten months ago, Jones has delivered some sensational knockouts. Unfortunately one of them doesn’t count, as a positive cannabis test came back following the fight. Even more unfortunate, less than a year later, the Nevada Athletic Association changed its stance, as they will no longer punish fighters for cannabis use. Meanwhile, Kakhramonov steps in on short notice to make his UFC debut. He has won two straight fights, with both coming via stoppage and one in 39 seconds over a previously undefeated Askar Askar.

Prediction

Anytime someone steps in on short notice, you have to imagine how hard it must be to cut weight in such little time. While I assume they are in the gym training, I also assume they aren’t preparing for a three round fight. With a tough weight cut and that in mind, it’s hard to believe that other than a first round spurt, that the cardio will hold after that. I guess what I’m implying is that while I believe Saidyokub Kakhramonov is a great addition, the odds are stacked up against him. Other than an early knockout, which is totally possible given his power, every minute after round one is of survival in my opinion.

This leads me to my prediction, which is obviously Trevin Jones. The man is durable, having never been stopped due to strikes. He is clearly powerful, showing one punch knockout power in his first two UFC fights. He also is a BJJ blackbelt and seven time no-gi Champion. In other words, you don’t want to be on the ground with him. So with all that said, I have Trevin Jones winning via TKO.
