UFC Fight Night: Hakeem Dawodu vs Michael Trizano Fight Breakdown and Prediction
As we lead up to this bout, Dawodu is coming off a tough loss against Movsar Evloev at UFC 263. Before this fight, Mean was unstoppable as he went on a five fight winning streak. However, he has to regain his lost momentum by picking up a dominant victory against a difficult opposition in the form of Michael Trizanu at UFC Fight Night.
Meanwhile, Trizanu is on the back off an impressive unanimous decision victory against Ludoveit Klein. Therefore he will be riding high on confidence as he takes on Hakeem Dawodu. Speaking about this matchup, fans can expect a striking war as both these featherweights prefer to stand and strike.
Triznu would have a physical edge over Hakeem as there is a significant difference in their height. However, Mean’s striking output is much better than The Lone Wolf and that could prove massive in a three-round bout. In the end, if Hakeem manages to defend Michael’s takedown attempts then he would likely outstrike him and work his way towards a decision victory.
