Allan Nascimento is only 1 fight deep in his UFC career. It was not an especially great introduction as he lost to Tagir Ulanbekov via split decision. But he did not get completely outclassed by Ulanbekov. Hence, it will be interesting to see how he does against a newcomer such as Hadley.

Allan Nascimento could not secure a single takedown on his UFC debut against Tagir Ulanbekov. He found himself taken down by Tagir 4 times during the fight. But, Allan is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert. Hence he lodged 4 submission attempts despite being in a disadvantageous position. It just shows how dangerous Allan is on the ground. He can get a submission out of nowhere if his opponents are not careful.

The fans can expect a really fun fight between the two as both Hadley and Nascimento have a high finishing rate. They are both very well matched, but Hadley may have the advantage due to with young age and longer reach.
