Andrey Koreshkov vs Magomed Umalatov Prediction: Who will be stronger?

On the night of April 20, the third PFL regular season tournament will take place in Chicago, where Andrey Koreshkov will face Magomed Umalatov.

Andrey Koreshkov

Andrey Koreshkov is the most successful student of Alexander Shlemenko's school, a former Bellator champion who was among many who ended up in the PFL after the merger of the two leagues, and will now fight here for a million.

Now he is on a great run and has five wins in a row (three in Bellator, and one each in AMC Fight Nigts and Shlemenko FC).

Andrey is a very experienced fighter, but he is still far from the best. He prefers to fight in the standup, and has seen almost the entire Bellator elite of the welterweight division opposite him in the cage. In his last fight he beat Lorenzo Larkin by split decision.

Magomed Umalatov

Magomed Umalatov has not experienced any defeats in his career so far. He has fought in the PFL for the last five fights and has won three times by knockout, twice by direct knockout and in the first round.

Magomed stormed the PFL two years in a row, and both times unsuccessfully, although he never lost - in 2022 he was unable to obtain a visa, and in 2023 he dropped out for health reasons. He is determined to take the main prize at the third attempt as seriously as possible, and, according to his own words, he not only trains in the gym, but practically lives there. At the same time, this gym is the American Top Team, with all that entails.
