Mike Grundy vs Makwan Amirkhani Fight Breakdown and Prediction

Grundy will go about business as usual and look to maul Amirkhani with his wrestling. However, Amirkhani is also a good wrestler with exceptional jiu-jitsu. We expect both of them to put their grappling to the test which will create a fascinating battle.

So, the impactful striking will come when Amirkhani looks to land flush as Grundy shoots in. If the Liverpudlian avoids those shots, he will force the pace with while Amirkhani looks for scrambles and submission attempts.

We expect Grundy to dominate the majority of proceedings and Amirkhani will remain in the fight until the second round where he will begin to tire. Grundy will finish stronger to convince the judges and walk away with a decision.
