Both fighters are looking to secure their positions in the heavyweight pound division. These contenders will clash at UFC Qatar on November 22nd.<\/p><p>Cortes-Acosta stands 6&rsquo;4&Prime; with a 78 inch reach and a 15-2 record. He showcases aggressive striking at 5.53 per minute with 48% accuracy while absorbing 3.52. His striking defense sits at 55% and his grappling presents minimal threat with 0.36 takedowns per fight at 50% accuracy and 0.1 submission attempts.

Cortes-Acosta holds clear advantages in striking output at 5.53 per minute, more than doubling Gaziev&rsquo;s conservative 2.57. His recent first-round TKO victory over Ante Delija as the underdog, coming just three weeks prior, demonstrates improved striking accuracy and confidence with minimal damage sustained.<\/p><p>However, Gaziev&rsquo;s full training camp and ability to exploit defensive lapses cannot be ignored. His 3-1 UFC record with recent back-to-back first-round knockouts demonstrates finishing consistency. The only loss came against elite striker Jairzinho Rozenstruik, proving Gaziev competes effectively at high levels.<\/p><p>If we bet on this fight, we are going with <strong>Shamil Gaziev to win via KO\/TKO.<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs Shamil Gaziev MMA Betting Odds<\/h2><p><strong>Waldo Cortes-Acosta enters as a slight favorite at<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-prono-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'> -134<\/a><\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-prono-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a>.
