Tagir Ulanbekov vs Joshua Van Prediction: The Russian is going to choke this opponent

Prediction for the UFC on ESPN 58 Tagir Ulanbekov vs Joshua Van fight which will take place on June 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Tagir Ulanbekov

Tagir Ulanbekov is ranked twelfth in the UFC's lightweight division, but he's capable of more. He's been competing in the world's strongest division since 2020, has suffered just one loss here (surprisingly to Tim Elliott), and is on a two-fight submission winning streak. Ulanbekov's strength is in the parterre, and his twelfth place in the rankings is simply a temporary misunderstanding. Tagir is capable of beating anyone above him on this list, and he probably won't have any severe problems in a fight with Van.

Joshua Van

Joshua Van has fought three times in the UFC and has three wins, one of which was a split decision over Zhalgas Zhumagulov that ended Zhalgas' career in the world's strongest division.

Van is a young, promising fighter who has only lost once in his professional career. However, he now faces the biggest test of his life, as he has never faced opposition as strong as Tagir Ulanbekov.

Expert Betting Tips

Joshua Van will try to keep the fight in the guard, but he won't succeed. The first takedown could be fatal for him. Ulanbekov is simply a headstrong wrestler, and if he can't choke his opponent, we'll be shocked.
