Chidi Njokuani - Carlos Leal: betting tip (kef 2.05) and bets on the fight

Current form

Chidi Njokuani stumbled quickly last time — Jake Matthews caught him with a choke in the first round. Before that, the picture was much more pleasant: victories over Eliza Zaleski, Jared Gordon and Rhys McKee showed that Chidi is able to keep the pace and take apart opponents in the rack. However, even earlier he went on a series of three defeats — Michal Olekseychuk, Albert Duraev and Grigory Rodriguez left their marks.

His current record in the UFC is 5-4. His main weapon is accuracy. 62 percent of hits is an elite indicator, one of the best in the promotion. When he works from a distance and doesn't let himself be dragged into a sticky fight, his punches look clean and focused. His tall stature, long arms, and ability to sense timing all make him extremely uncomfortable in a standing position.

Current form

Carlos Leal is a fire fighter. His UFC start turned out to be turbulent. First, a controversial defeat to Rinat Fahretdinov in Dubai, then a striking technical knockout of Alex Morono in the first round. And then there was a cold shower in the form of a quick knockout from Muslim Salikhov, when one precise counter—hook crossed out the status of the favorite.

Leal works at a crazy pace — 9.57 accurate strokes per minute for three fights. This is even higher than the current statistical leaders, although more matches are needed for the official tables. The problem is something else: he himself skips 7.61 beats per minute. Such openness can be costly against a precision sniper. He fights bravely, goes to the exchange, is not afraid of risk. But against Njokuani, every extra step forward without protection is an invitation to counterattack.
