Chidi Njokuani-Michal Oleksiejczuk Pick and Prediction
Chidi Njokuani-Michal Oleksiejczuk Odds
Chidi Njokuani: -105 | Michal Oleksiejczuk: -115
Njokuani comes from a Muay Thai kickboxing background, evidenced by his 14 knockout victories. In his mixed martial arts career, Njokuani has a 22-9 record and has been knocked out four times and submitted three. On the feet, Njokuani lands 3.82 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 2.62. He has never landed a takedown, but he defends them at 70%, which generally has him up against the weaker fighters in the division. It should be noted that Njokuani has a sneaky difficult level of competition, which includes multiple UFC fighters on the regional scene. He will also have a sizable six-inch reach advantage.
Like Njokuani, Oleksiejczuk comes from a striking background. At 18-6 in his career, Oleksiejczuk has 13 knockout wins and has been knocked out once and submitted four times. In the Octagon, he lands 4.82 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 4.02, and he averages 0.6 takedowns per minute while defending them at 44%. Though Oleksiejczuk has more experience at the UFC level, most of his wins came against the bottom of the division.
Neither fighter projects to take this fight to the ground. Njokuani has the more extensive striking background and a tougher level of competition, so seeing him as an underdog is a surprise. This makes him one of the sharper bets on this card.
