Umalatov might be the favorite to win this division this season if he can stay healthy enough to fight in the playoffs. He is taking on a kill-or-be-killed type of fighter in Ward who will need a first-round finish to have a chance at the playoffs. Look for Umalatov to avoid the early onslaught of Ward and take the fight to the ground, where he will likely get the finish shortly after.
