As part of one of the UFC fights, Nicolae Negumereanu and Isaac Villanueva will come face to face. Which of the rivals will be able to win in the upcoming match? Our sports portal evaluates the chances of the fighters to win this match.
Nicolae Negumereanu (Romania)
The 27-year-old Romanian fighter began his professional career in 2016. Before joining the UFC, he had a record of 9:0. The debut meeting in the elite organization was lost on points to Safarov, and the second meeting was won by a split decision from Alexa Kamura. Nicolae Negumereanu is considered a versatile athlete who tends to work in the rack. He has excellent boxing skills, and most of the victories were won by knockout. Nick also feels confident in the stalls, but at the same time, it is difficult to call him an elite grappler. Never in his career has he lost ahead of schedule.
Isaac Villanueva (USA)
The 37-year-old U.S. representative has been playing professionally since 2007. At the time of signing the contract with the UFC, he did not have the most solid track record – 17:9. Under the auspices of an elite organization, he managed to hold 4 fights and won only 1 time. In the last match, he lost by knockout to Marcin Prahnyo. Villanueva is a pronounced drummer with good boxing and kickboxing skills. He has a powerful punch, and most of his victories were won by knockout.
Forecast
The Romanian athlete is justifiably the favorite of the confrontation. He has more solid statistics and will probably take the victory ahead of schedule in the exchanges. He is able to fight his opponent not only in the stalls, but also in the rack.
