HEILI ALATENG VS KEVIN CROOM LOWDOWN
Coming off of a draw against Gustavo Lopez, Heili Alateng (14-8-2) will be aiming to put his poor recent form behind him this weekend. It’s been over two years since Alateng has last tasted victory inside the UFC octagon. Therefore, Alateng has the chance to show what he’s capable of against a tough opponent.
As for Kevin Croom (21-14), he is also enduring a tough time inside the octagon at the moment. The American is currently riding a two fight losing streak and is coming off of a loss to Brian Kelleher back in January. The experienced veteran will be looking to pick up his first win in the UFC this weekend.
HEILI ALATENG VS KEVIN CROOM PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s bantamweight clash, Croom will have a significant advantage in both the height and reach department.
Heili has been very cautious in his last few fights. This weekend, he needs to be on the front foot from the off. In his defeat to Kelleher, Croom struggled immensely with the efficient grappling skills of Kelleher.
Therefore, we suspect that Heili will look to use his solid striking to set up his offensive wrestling and attempt to outpoint Croom.
