Omari Akhmedov vs Rob Wilkinson Prediction: the Russian to Take His Million

On the night of November 26 in New York, the final tournament of PFL promotion will be held. In one of the bouts, Russian fighter Omari Akhmedov will fight for the bantamweight title and a million dollars against Australian Rob Wilkinson.

Omari Akhmedov competed in the UFC for eight years. He was even in the top ten of the flyweight division but left the strongest league last year. And not for nothing: in PFL, he had three victories in a row, reached the final, intending to take the main prize.

Rob Wilkinson fought in many different leagues before his PFL career (including a couple of fights in the UFC), but this is where he showed his mettle. Three wins by knockout and the right to fight for a million speak for themselves.

My opponent is very good. He's a good puncher who's bigger than me. He's strong, he's got good boxing. But he didn't fight all three rounds. I want to make him fight longer, two or three rounds.

Omari Akhmedov

Wilkinson is in an absolute rage, he knocks out everybody, but he has never met opposition of such level as Omari Akhmedov. The Russian has seen even more formidable rivals and never failed, always discovering an antidote to his opponent's strengths. If he did lose, it was either the judges' fault or his opponent was of a higher class.

Omari knows Wilkinson's strengths well, so he should survive the barrage of attacks in the first two rounds. Omari knows how to drag fights. He can probably do it this time too. Since the bout is a five-round contest, his chances of winning will increase with every minute of the second half of the battle.
