DOUGLAS SILVA DE ANDRADE VS SERGEY MOROZOV LOWDOWN

At the age of 36, it’s fair to say that Douglas de Andrade (27-4) is a true veteran of Mixed Martial Arts. Currently, the Brazilian is 3-2 in his last five professional outings. With a win against Gaetano Pirrello in his last outing, Andrade will be aiming to keep the momentum going and start to establish some consistency.

Sergey Morozov (17-4) is coming off of a win against Khalid Taha. In his last five professional fights, Morozov has won four of them. The defeat came against Umar Nurmagomedov back in January of 2021. After losing to a tough contender, Morozov will be desperate to come away with an impressive performance this weekend.

DOUGLAS SILVA DE ANDRADE VS SERGEY MOROZOV PREDICTION

Going into this one, Andrade will have both the height and reach advantage over Morozov. Therefore, we suspect that Sergey will utilize his wrestling. That’s the main path to victory for Morozov this weekend. If he can take the fight to the floor early on in the fight, then he can look to outpoint the Brazilian.

Whilst Andrade has struggled against high level wrestlers, if the veteran keeps the fight standing, then he definitely has a chance to land that knockout blow which he is capable of producing.
