JACK SHORE VS TIMUR VALIEV LOWDOWN
Undefeated at 15-0, Welshman Jack Shore will face the toughest test of his professional career against Timur Valiev. Coming off of a decision win against Liudvik Sholinian, Shore will be looking to go 5-0 in the UFC this weekend. A big win over Valiev could see Shore be rewarded with a ranked opponent in his next fight.
Looking to upset the odds on British soil, Timur Valiev (18-2) has the chance to maintain his excellent run of form. Having not lost a fight since 2016, Valiev is coming off of a decision victory against Raoni Barcelos. Like Shore, a win for Valiev could see the Russian burst into the top fifteen as he looks to climb up the rankings.
JACK SHORE VS TIMUR VALIEV PREDICTION
Going into this weekend’s clash, Jack Shore will have the advantage in height and an edge in the reach department. It’s no secret that Valiev will be shore’s toughest test yet. The Welshman needs to remain composed and play to his strengths to get the job done. Shore is a technically sound kickboxer. Despite not having the one-punch knockout power, Shore will have to chop Valiev away. However, Timur’s speed in his striking could pose some problems for Jack. We suspect that Shore will look to use his excellent top game to get the job done. Valiev’s ability on the mat is also second to none.
