Forecast for battle
The style and physique of both fighters talking about what we can see tracheascopy boring fight, at the end of which the participants fully over the gas tank. Ivanov has a good “udarka” with a good jab, has a knockout punch (though this is still not showed in the UFC), and he’s definitely excellent Grappler. Ivanov, however, small heavyweight with height 180 cm and is often influenced in his fights.
Sakai in front of a large heavyweight with 191 cm in height, which is necessary to drive weight in order to get to the limit. For its parameters it is surprisingly quick and his shot has tremendous power. 11 of the 14 victories he won by knockout, but Ivanov has extremely strong chin and finish blows it will be extremely difficult. In order to win, Sakai should keep the enemy at a distance, however, his strikes cannot be called precise, and technical. Suppose that Ivanova will get to go to a favorable distance, to eventually win the judges ‘ decision.
