UFC 324 is set to feature a high stakes middleweight collision between Ateba Gautier and Andrey Pulyaev, two of the most physically imposing prospects in the division today. The Silent Assassin enters the cage with a terrifying reputation after dispatching three consecutive opponents in the very first round since joining the promotion. Check the Ateba Gautier vs Andrey Pulyaev match prediction!
Most fans now see him as a potential title threat due to his freakish reach and one shot knockout power that seems to mirror heavyweight legends. His most recent performance was a clinical destruction of Treston Vines at UFC 320 in October where he ended the night with brutal elbows at just one minute and forty one seconds of the opening frame.
Gautier seems fully motivated to keep this streak alive and crack the top fifteen rankings by the end of the night. His opponent Andrey Pulyaev is no slouch himself and comes in after a big victory over Nick Klein in August where he utilized a nasty body kick to secure a second round stoppage.
While he lacked some offensive output in his debut loss to Christian Leroy Duncan earlier last year he showed much better composure and diversity in his striking during his latest outing.

His ability to find the chin early is statistically undeniable and he possesses the physical tools to keep the Russian at bay. While Pulyaev is durable and has decent variety, he has shown significant defensive holes in the opening minutes of his recent bouts.
If he allows Gautier to establish range early it will likely be another short night in Las Vegas. The power disparity should be the deciding factor here. Hence, our Ateba Gautier vs Andrey Pulyaev match prediction is Ateba Gautier to win in Round 1.
