GIGA CHIKADZE VS JAMEY SIMMONS LOWDOWN
Giga Chikadze (15-8) steps out for the fourth time this year and looks to continue his roll and make it five UFC wins out of five. The Georgian is on a six-fight win streak after earning split decisions over Brandon Davis and Jamall Emmers and then pulled off more convincing decisions over Irwin Rivera and Omar Morales.
He welcomes Jamey Simmons (7-2) to the octagon who is on a three-fight streak himself. He made his sole appearance for the Legacy Fighting Alliance back in June last year but ate Jake Childers knee to suffer his second loss. He responded by knocking out Nick Spina and Morgan Sickinger before submitting Shawn West.
GIGA CHIKADZE VS JAMEY SIMMONS PREDICTION
Simmons has fought for a variety of promotions but the UFC and Chikadze is a huge step-up. The Georgian is the obvious favourite with a clear technical advantage on the feet that will only be exacerbated by his significant height and reach advantage.
Combine this with his experience, Chikadze is expected to pepper Simmons on the feet, landing at will and may land enough damage to secure a late finish and his first UFC knockout.
Prediction: Chikadze via KO/TKO
