Jailton Almeida and Alexander Romanov take one another at the upcoming UFC 302. These two guys desperately need a win here because of the future in the division. Right now, they are on the verge of the elite echelon among the heavyweights, and success in this one is an absolute must.
Before Betting on UFC 302 Jailton Almeida vs. Alexander Romanov
Almeida had a very dominant first round against Curtis Blaydes in his previous appearances, outwrestling one of the best heavyweight guys in this area. However, as soon as the second sequence started, he received a KO, thus nullifying all he had previously done.
He has 20 victories and three defeats, submitting his rivals on 12 occasions. Only two of all his battles have seen the distance, and the Brazilian usually takes care of the business much earlier. He has wins against Shamil Aburakhimov, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Derrick Lewis prior to the loss to Blaydes.
Romanov is a huge talent, but his approach and attitude aren’t promising—or at least they weren’t promising. King Kong, as the fans call him, has terrible cardio, which is why he has stagnated recently. After 16 consecutive victories, he was defeated by Marcin Tybura via majority decision and KOd by Alexander Volkov.
He would bounce back with a decision triumph against Blagoy Ivanov, but it still seems that he isn’t reaching his full potential. Just look at his body and everything will be clear. That’s why he failed to beat the first two big-time rivals in the UFC.

Overall looking, Almeida is a better fighter than his rival, and he can outperform him in every single aspect of the battle. His punches are harder and faster, he is very skilled on the ground, and we won’t even talk about his cardio compared to Romanov’s.
