Final Mansur Abdul-Malik-Dusko Todorovic Prediction & Pick

In a compelling middleweight clash at UFC Vegas 100, Mansur Abdul-Malik is poised to make a statement in his UFC debut against the more experienced Dusko Todorovic. Abdul-Malik’s undefeated record and devastating finishing ability give him a significant edge in this matchup. Abdul-Malik’s perfect 6-0 record, with all wins coming by stoppage, showcases his lethal skillset. His Division 1 wrestling background coupled with vicious ground-and-pound make him a nightmare for opponents on the mat. Todorovic, despite his experience, has shown vulnerabilities in his ground defense and durability, losing 75% of his defeats via KO/TKO.

The UFC debutant’s wrestling prowess should allow him to dictate where the fight takes place. Once on the ground, Abdul-Malik’s relentless ground strikes are likely to overwhelm Todorovic, who has struggled against powerful grapplers in the past. While Todorovic’s UFC experience can’t be discounted, Abdul-Malik’s elite wrestling and finishing instincts should prove too much. Look for Abdul-Malik to secure an early takedown and unleash a barrage of ground strikes, leading to a TKO victory within the first two rounds. This performance will likely establish Abdul-Malik as a rising threat in the middleweight division.
