He describes this as close and says Vettori could win by pressing and wrestling, using his chin to remain in exchanges. Still, he sees Naurdiev as faster, more powerful, and the more technical striker, with the greater damage leading to a decision.

  • He identifies Vettori's pressure and takedowns as a plausible opposing route.
“I'm going to go with Ishmail Nardiv getting the win by decision.”

* He calls it very close and says he can see Vettori winning if he pressures and shoots takedowns.

Fight result: Ismail Naurdiev · Decision

Bedtime expects Naurdiev to edge a 29–28 decision because he sees Vettori as too inactive and lacking damaging offense. He doubts Vettori’s takedowns will produce sustained control, while acknowledging that Naurdiev tiring could open a submission opportunity for Vettori.

“I think Nerdy is going to win by decision. 2928.”

He describes this as close and says Vettori could win by pressing and wrestling, using his chin to remain in exchanges. Still, he sees Naurdiev as faster, more powerful, and the more technical striker, with the greater damage leading to a decision.

  • He identifies Vettori's pressure and takedowns as a plausible opposing route.
“I'm going to go with Ishmail Nardiv getting the win by decision.”

* He calls it very close and says he can see Vettori winning if he pressures and shoots takedowns.
