Makdessi vs Haqparast Prediction

UFC Paris Makdessi-Haqparast prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Nasrat Haqparast (82%)
Method of Victory: Decision (77%)

Haqparast enters this fight as an accomplished striker in the octagon, but he has only won two of his last five fights. This one lines up as a tough task as well. Makdessi has won four of his last five bouts and has shown no signs of slowing down at the age of 37. Haqparast still has the advantage, though.

It's all about Haqparast's hands on Saturday. If he can accumulate quick, early jabs, Makdessi will get flustered be forced to change his approach. That's never a good situation to be in. Haqparast has posted nine knockouts in 13 wins, so there's a lot to like about this fight ending in the same exact way.

Give me Haqparast to win by KO/TKO (+350) here.
