32-year old Alex Oliveira is 2-3 in his last five fights, all in the UFC. His last five bouts have all gone to the judges, so he doesn't knock anyone out. His game is grappling, averaging 2.88 takedowns per 15 minutes. This is a tough matchup against a younger Shavkat Rakhmonov, who is making his UFC debut with a 12-0 mark. Rakhmonov has been impressive, taking on (and beating) top fighters in M-1 Global competition. He is loaded with power with seven of his last 12 bouts ending in the first round. Rakhmonov is athletic, fast, and difficult to take down. For this fight, he has a two-inch height advantage, a reach edge, is far more athletic, and is six years younger. Take Shavkat Rakhmonov to win the bout.
