Alonzo Menifield took the worst loss of his career in his last fight where he was brutally knocked out in just 12 seconds against Carlos Ulberg. Now, less than three months later Menifield is looking to get back on track against another dangerous striker.

• Murzakanov might not be as intimidating as someone as Ulberg based on his 5'10" frame but packs a powerful punch where he has knocked out 9 of his 13 opponents with 2 knockouts in 3 fights in his UFC career.

It's never a good thing when a fighter comes back from being concussed so soon which is the case here with Menifield. He would have benefited from some time off but now he gets thrown right back into the fire against another dangerous knockout artist.

Murzakanov is a fighter that is going to throw with bad intentions with every exchange and he is not going to take a step back at all. If Murakanov can keep his foot on the gas and doesn't get caught by Menifield early expect Murzakanov to land something flush and put him out to get his 14th win in a row.

Umar Nurmagomedov vs Cory Sandhagen Betting Odds and Prediction

Best Prop Odds: Umar Nurmagomedov by Submission (+300) FanDuel Sportsbook

Umar Nurmagomedov steps into his first main event of his UFC career taking on his stiffest competition to date Cory Sandhagen in hopes of getting a UFC bantamweight title shot with a win this weekend. This will certainly be a tough ask for Nurmagomedov but one that he can overcome if he fights a smart fight.

• Umar Nurmagomedov may not be on the level of his cousin Khabib in terms of grappling but his grappling has been his bread and butter in his career with 7 of his wins coming by submission.

If there was one area of weakness that Sandhagen possesses it's his takedown defense and his grappling game. While he certainly has gotten better over the years he still will not contend with someone like Umar Nurmagomedov on the ground.

Nurmagomedov will need to do what he can to get past the range of Sandhagen on the feet and cut off the Octagon to take him down. From there it will be in his world and that's when Nurmagomedov will eventually get the back on Sandhagen and sink in the choke to remain unbeaten and get his shot at the bantamweight title.

Sedriques Dumas vs Denis Tiuliulin Betting Odds and Prediction

Best Prop Odds: Sedriques Dumas by Submission (+300) FanDuel Sportsbook

Sedriques Dumas has had some mixed success during his time in the UFC with a 2-2 record and is coming off a tough loss to Nursulton Ruziboev in his last fight. Now, he gets to take on someone more on his level Denis Tiuliulin who's also struggling at this time losing three straight fights all by finish.

During his time in the UFC, Dumas has at least shown some promise where he was able to at least rattle off consecutive wins in his career thus far winning against decent competition like Cody Brundage and Abu Azaitar.

• While Dumas may not be an elite grappler he holds the edge in grappling with 2 of his 9 victories coming by submission.

It's no secret that the way to beat Tiuliulin is to take him down and submit him as 4 of his 9 losses have come by submission and this weekend will be no different. Expect Dumas to fight smart in this fight, land his takedowns, and use some ground and pound until the opportunity presents itself for him to snatch up the submission and get the win this weekend.
