Shlemenko is the former champion with a record of 56-9. The 33-year-old has managed to achieve 55% of his victories through knockouts and this translates into 31 KOs. He has also been part of nine defeats, but just one of them is through a knockout.

Strengths

The grapple and the strong punches are a feature of Mousasi’s game. His form has also been outstanding in recent years after managing four consecutive knockout victories.

The amazing longevity of Mousasi is down to a reasonably good KO record and 16 decisions that have gone in his favour.

Weaknesses

The last five fights have not witnessed Shlemenko completely overpowering opponents. This remains a major weak point that goes against the 33-year-old.

Mousasi has been found guilty of going through bad run of form in the past, but he has managed to win the last five fights without exception.

Gegard vs Shlemenko Prediction

Those who bet on UFC fights online will witness Shlemenko coming into the fight with plenty of rust on his hands. Even though he has been training quite hard in the last couple of years, the 33-year-old provides a wealth of experience to the team. Mousasi has an incredible record to boast, and he has just recently come away from UFC.
