Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has made his prediction for the UFC 330 main event.
The UFC is in Philadelphia on Saturday, and Islam Makhachev defends his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry. Heading into the bout, Makhachev is a -360 favorite while the Irishman is a +290 underdog on FanDuel.
Although Makhachev is a sizable favorite, Garry has been oozing with confidence heading into the bout. But Bisping does expect to hear ‘And Still’ as he believes Makhachev will be able to get a submission win.
“It’s going to be an exciting clash. Will Ian Garry be able to jab and jog his way to victory? Because that’ll be the game plan, let’s be honest. Or will Islam Makhachev take him down, rag doll him all over the place, choke him out unconscious and put him to sleep? We shall see,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. Takedown defense 100-percent is what this fight’s all going to be about, and whether or not Islam Makhachev can cut off the cage, get him up against the fence, corral him against the fence, grab a leg, take him down. …
“Islam Makhachev, this is his bread and butter. This is what he does. And when you go to the wall, he’s going to take your back and he’s going to put the hooks in and he’s going to choke you out. And that is my prediction for this fight.”
If Makhachev does submit Garry in the main event of UFC 330, it would be a statement win for him. And he would break Anderson Silva’s record of most consecutive wins, which would further cement him as an all-time great.
Makhachev enters UFC 330 with a record of 28-1 and is coming off a decision win over Jack Della Maddalena.
