PFL Charlotte Predictions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Davletdzhan Yagshimuradov (-175) vs Simeon Powell (+140)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the more difficult fights on the card to handicap because of the unusual\u00a0circumstances. The matchup was originally scheduled for last week before being canceled after\u00a0one fighter was deemed medically unable to compete. With the fight now taking place, there are\u00a0 still unanswered questions about what changed in such a short period of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powell brings a clear height and reach advantage, giving him opportunities to score from the\u00a0 outside if he can maintain distance. Yagshimuradov, however, is the more aggressive fighter and\u00a0 should be the one pushing the pace with the higher volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talent gap isn’t large enough to\u00a0overlook the uncertainty surrounding the postponement, making this a fight with more unknowns\u00a0 than most on the card.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Jeffery (-175) vs Josh Silveira (+145)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This matchup has all the makings of a slow, grind-it-out fight. Jeffery’s style is built around\u00a0 pressure, clinch work, and controlling opponents against the fence rather than engaging in\u00a0extended striking exchanges. Expect him to lean on that approach again, forcing Silveira to\u00a0 defend while mixing in short punches and knees to wear him down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silveira is dangerous in space, but Jeffery’s game plan should minimize those opportunities.\u00a0While it may not be the most entertaining fight on the card, Jeffery’s physicality and ability to\u00a0 dictate where the fight takes place should allow him to control the majority of the action.\u00a0Expect this fight to go the distance, with Aaron Jeffery earning a decision victory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PFL Charlotte Main Event: Bryan Battle vs Dalton Costa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bryan Battle’s PFL debut was one to forget, but this is a much more favorable stylistic matchup.\u00a0Rosta’s clearest path to victory is his wrestling, but Battle has made noticeable improvements in his takedown defense and has become much harder to control than he was earlier in his career. If\u00a0he can keep this fight standing, the striking advantage belongs firmly to Battle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosta tends to fight aggressively and leaves openings when he closes distance, while Battle is the cleaner, more technical striker with better finishing ability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pre-fight buildup has also\u00a0suggested neither fighter plans on taking a cautious approach. With both men talking about\u00a0 making a statement, expect an action-packed start. Battle’s speed, power, and striking should\u00a0 ultimately be the difference, and Bryan Battle by knockout <\/strong>is the prediction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
