Orders before the fight
Zhalgas Zhumagulov’s career in the UFC did not work out from the very beginning. The Kazakhstani came to the best league on the planet in the ranking of Fight Nights Global champions with a history of several high-profile victories. Firstly, this is a victory over Ali Bagautinov, a contender for the title of UFC 2014. Together with him, it is worth highlighting the victory over Tagir Ulanbekov, who at that time was the most promising fighter in Russia (up to 57 kg).
But when he moved to the UFC, Zhumagulov’s insurance seemed to have dried up and he began to collect defeats. It turns out that the peak of physical and mental abilities falls precisely on their performance in Russia. In Zalgas’ debut, the unobtrusive Raulian Paiva went around the octagon. Then, the main wrestler Amir Albazi confidently dealt with it.
After these defeats, Zhalgas finally moved to America, disappointed at home training. And the idea of moving to a new salon seemed to work – Zhumagulov smashed Jerome Rivera in two minutes. But it was more of a self-deception, because in the next fight with the dangerous all-rounder Manel Cape, for the first time in his career, the Kazakhstani finished in the first round.
In part, the result can be justified by a leg injury received by Zhumagulov at the beginning of the fight. But given all that has happened, the result is clear – Zalgas is very unlucky in the UFC.
Unlike Zhumagulov, 33, Jeff Molina still has a long way to go. The man is only 24 years old and is already behind two brilliant victories in the UFC. Yes, the opponents were many times inferior to Zhumagulov in terms of experience, because for them the fight with Molina was their debut in the UFC. However, only the lazy did not notice how cool he looked against the background of the Americans. In the first fight, Molina fell to the ground twice and threw 189 accented punches. In the second, he limited himself to a knockout, but managed to finish his opponent on the ground, achieving the seventh early victory in his career.
Molina is a young fighter who throws loads of punches from different angles and isn’t afraid to trade, and most importantly has speed and accuracy.
