Shamil Gaziev and Don'Tale Mayes are set to clash at UFC on ABC 7; no titles are on the line.
Shamil Gaziev, with a powerful record of 12 wins, majority by knockout, faced a setback in his last fight, succumbing to Jairzinho Rozenstruik by TKO. Given Rozenstruik's strong knockout history which mirrors Mayes’s aggressive style, Gaziev needs to tighten his defenses against heavy strikers.
Don’Tale Mayes comes off a unanimous decision win highlighting his durability and strategy. His performance against fighters like Caio Machado, who have fewer knockouts, demonstrates his ability to handle opponents with less finishing power than Gaziev.
