Which fighters have the edge at UFC 308? A former UFC fighter and a betting analyst weigh in.
in the highly anticipated main event at UFC 308 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Saturday afternoon or Whittaker to win by decision .
Chimaev returns to the Octagon hoping that a win here will secure his first title shot. If we get a fully healthy Chimaev, I'm not sure he will ever lose. He is that talented and that special of a fighter. However, if Whittaker can survive the first two rounds, where Chimaev puts on a menacing pace, can Whittaker tap into that championship round experience and win the later rounds? I think he can. The double method of victory seems to be a theme for this card.
Leal, a former PFL fighter and LFA champ, steps in on short notice for his UFC debut. Beating Fakhretdinov is a tough task in a debut, but if you want to be in the UFC, sometimes this is the only option. Leal has power, but Fakhretdinov will be looking to make a statement. I believe he can get that done in dominant fashion against Leal.
