KENAN SONG VS MAX GRIFFIN LOWDOWN

After getting his UFC career off to a flyer by knocking out Bobby Nash and Hector Aldana, Kenan Song (16-5) suffered his first UFC loss in that exciting scrap with Alex Morono. It was a unanimous decision in November 2018 and Song has only fought twice since. He returned nearly a year later and won a unanimous decision over Derrick Krantz and last fought over a year ago, but it was his best performance to date, running through Callan Potter for the eighth knockout of his career.

Max Griffin (16-8) is 4-6 in the UFC but has had some tough matchups including Colby Covington, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, Curtis Millender Thiago Alves, Alex Morono and Alex Oliveira who he all took to decisions. He also earnt a decision over Mike Perry in 2018 but wins have been hard to come by in the stacked welterweight division. However, he is coming a great win back in November where he almost elbowed Ramiz Brahimaj’s ear off, literally.

KENAN SONG VS MAX GRIFFIN PREDICTION

Song has looked more impressive so far in his UFC career and his knockout power has made a lot of people take notice. However, despite the losses, Griffin has fought much better competition.

Griffin needs to avoid Song’s hands and getting tied up in his clinch where he is very dangerous. If Song, can land clean, Griffin is in trouble but we are backing Griffin’s experience and ultimately his wrestling and reach advantage to take the fight away from Song and earn a decision.
