One of Australia’s finest submission experts Callan Potter won’t have far to travel for his scheduled bout this coming weekend. The home support should be rampant for the BJJ Black Belt but, the task at hand won’t be an easy one. Dangerous striker Kenan Song will be headhunting the experienced grappler from the get-go.

It’s not often the UFC will offer contract’s to fighters in their mid-30’s but, Callan and his impressive win rate became an acceptation. The 35-year-old hasn’t had the brightest beginning to his journey in the UFC but he’s shown the will to win via his strong grappling offense.

Song Kenan

• Age: 29
• Nationality: China
• Record: 15-5-0
• Height: 6ft”
• Reach: 71.5”
• Gym: Tiger Muay Thai
• Notable Gym Members: Valentina Shevchenko, Petr Yan & Rustam Khabilov
• Current Streak: 1 win
• Wins by KO/TKO: 7
• Wins by Submission: 6
• Decision wins: 2

Significant Strikes (UFC)

• Landed Per Min: 4.13
• Accuracy: 45%
• Defence: 56%

Grappling (UFC)

• Takedown Average: 0
• Takedown Accuracy: 0%
• Takedown Defended: 50%

A long rangy striker in Song has fared quite well since his UFC debut, holding a 3-1 record, with his only loss coming to Alex Morono.

Song will clearly be the more proficient and experienced striker in this contest, he’ll be looking for a quick finish in his first fight overseas. The % finish rate for Song is high because of the speed he can deliver his striking offense.

At the end of the day

The current line seems slightly disrespectful in my honest opinion. Stylistically these fighters are opposite ends, Potter will understand that he needs to initiate his grappling game early and often in order to avoid the heavy hands of Song.

I believe the first round could be a competitive one but the longer this fast goes on, the more I favor Potter and his ability to lock in a submission. The game plan is quite clear and although Song can fight from his back, he hasn’t shown the greatest scrambling ability when up against half-decent grapplers.

Simply put, it’s a striker versus grappler matchup and I’ll favor the grappler, especially at these odds.

Jimmy Crute vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk

Saturday, February 22, 2020 – 09:05 PM EST

Opening line: Michal Oleksiejczuk -140 at 5Dimes

Jimmy Crute

• Age: 28
• Nationality: Australia
• Record: 10-1-0
• Height: 6ft 2”
• Reach: 74”
• Current Streak: 1 loss
• Gym: Resilience Training Centre
• Notable Gym Members: Dan Kelly, Jake Matthews & Callan Potter
• Wins by KO/TKO: 4
• Wins by Submission: 3
• Decision wins: 3

Significant Strikes (UFC)

• Landed Per Min: 4.56
• Accuracy: 57%
• Defence: 53%

Grappling (UFC)

• Takedown Average: 0.58
• Takedown Accuracy: 100%
• Takedown Defended: 60%

Jimmy Crute, one of the UFC’s brightest prospects makes his return to the octagon this weekend after suffering his first professional loss. His opponent is another prospect coming off his first loss in the UFC. Co-Main event status certainly deserves for this bout, Crute has looked incredible, even in his previous and first-ever loss. Crute has power, agility and a BJJ Black belt to go with it. Fast in development, Crute’s striking is evolving fight to fight in order to match up with his high-level jiu-jitsu offense.

Michal Oleksiejczuk

• Age: 25
• Nationality: Poland
• Record: 14-3-0
• Height: 6ft”
• Reach: 74”
• Gym: GKS Gornik Leczna MMA
• Notable Gym Members: N/A
• Current Streak: 1 loss
• Wins by KO/TKO: 9
• Wins by Submission: 1
• Decision wins: 4

Significant Strikes (UFC)

• Landed Per Min: 5.39
• Accuracy: 56%
• Defence: 68%

Grappling (UFC)

• Takedown Average: 1.20
• Takedown Accuracy: 66%
• Takedown Defended: 75%

Much like his opponent, Michal has shown amazing prospect talent with a barrage of offence in his UFC scheduled bouts to date.

Michal has an aggressive start to his fights that most opponents can’t handle, most recently we saw Ovince Saint Preux become one of the first to avoid the early onslaught that Michal provides. His approach doesn’t tend to change matchup to matchup, so we should expect the same aggressive beginnings from Michal this weekend.

At the end of the day

Another suggested line that I don’t agree with; an even matchup favouring one over the other. Michal holds one attribute higher than Crute, aggression. I give Michal one round to get his fight over with or he’ll enter the deep waters and drown.

So, with one path to victory for Michal but multiple paths for Crute, It’s easy making a decision whilst looking deeper into this matchup. If Michal surprises us with a calm approach to his first-round offence he’s going to lose a technical striking battle and we have to favour Crute when comparing each fighters grappling skill-set.

Crute can avoid the dangerous first round in a similar fashion to OSP, his cardio and higher-level fight IQ should do the rest.

UFC 168 Prediction: Jimmy Crute to win at +120 with BetOnline

Tonight is a huge night of fights as UFC 259 features three championship bouts that should all be a lot of fun.

Peter Yan will put his bantamweight belt on the line when he takes on Aljamain Sterling.

The GOAT, Amanda Nunes, puts her featherweight belt on the line when she faces Megan Anderson in the co-main event.

The main event has middleweight champ Israel Adesanya moving up a weight class to light heavyweight to face the champ, Jan Blachowicz. A win for Adesanya would make him the first undefeated, two weight class champ in UFC history.
