Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs. Farman Hasanov UFC Fight Night 292 preview

Lebosnoyani (11-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) enters his third UFC appearance. He won his first two fights in the promotion by decision: a split decision over Phil Rowe and a unanimous decision over Seok Hyeon Ko.

Hasanov (5-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) enters his sophomore UFC bout. His debut went the distance in a unanimous decision over Eric Nolan.

Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs. Farman Hasanov UFC Fight Night 292 expert pick, prediction

Kicking off the main card is a potential welterweight war between Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani and Farman Hasanov.

Hasanov, who is a master of sport in freestyle wrestling, set the record for takedown attempts in his UFC debut opposite Eric Nolan earlier this year. However, as impressive as that might sound, Hasanov showed that his game is still very raw when it comes to controlling the pace and positions of a fight.

Whereas Hasanov's opponent, Lebosnoyani, is a deceptively experienced and well-rounded fighter who has made some semi-surprising upgrades since moving up to welterweight.

I expect a strong start from Hasanov, but ultimately suspect that Lebosnoyani's left-sided kicks and submission prowess will be too much as things heat up.
