While the Bahraini veteran is a seasoned campaigner with a high ranking to protect, he is facing a newcomer who has taken the promotion by storm since his debut. Still, Gaziev will be looking to build on his momentum after his most recent match ended in a dominant first-round knockout of Waldo Cortes-Acosta last November.
That victory reaffirmed his status as a dangerous top-fifteen contender following a mixed start to his UFC career. Yet, at the other end of the ring is The Balkan Bear arriving in the big leagues with terrifying efficiency. The Croatian-Australian powerhouse, with a 6-1-0 record, is currently on a streak of two consecutive first-round knockouts.
