Nurullo Aliev is riding serious momentum right now. The Tajik Eagle just picked up back to back wins, including a slick performance against Joe Solecki in January where he went 2 for 2 on takedowns and controlled over eight minutes. Then he came back in November and outworked Shem Rock for another decision. Aliev's been grinding through the lightweight division with that steady pressure style, mixing in takedowns when he needs them and keeping guys uncomfortable for fifteen minutes. Mike Davis is in a completely different spot.
- Aliev riding three straight wins with suffocating pressure
- Davis looking to bounce back from Ziam loss
- Volume striker versus dangerous finisher at lightweight
If Davis is going to get it done, expect fireworks in rounds two and three when Aliev's pace might create openings.
Beast Boy dropped a tough one to Fares Ziam back in February, getting outpointed across three rounds. Before that loss though, Davis showed he's dangerous as hell. Remember when he caught Natan Levy with that arm triangle in round two back in March 2024? And going further back, he put together some really solid wins, including that knockout of Thomas Gifford in Tampa where he landed 141 strikes and finished it late in the third. This matchup comes down to whether Davis can find his finishing instincts again or if Aliev's relentless pace grinds him down.
Aliev throws volume, lands around 50 percent of his strikes, and isn't afraid to wrestle when the moment's right. Davis has shown he can light guys up and end fights, but he's also been in wars where he had to dig deep. The big question is which version of Beast Boy shows up in Abu Dhabi.
