Efficient takedown accuracy (50%) despite low volume.<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> High damage absorption despite reach advantage. Poor striking accuracy shows inefficient shot selection. Lower experience (9 total fights). Faces superior striker in Elliott.

The 27 year old nicknamed &ldquo;The Welsh Gangster&rdquo; is a well-rounded fighter with excellent defensive metrics.<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Superior striking accuracy (48%) with efficient shot selection. Exceptional striking defense limits clean shots. Outstanding damage avoidance, absorbs only 2.24 strikes per minute. Better takedown offense and defense. Experience with 15 total fights.

Elliott should steals round 2 with cleaner, more accurate strikes, capitalizing on Micallef&rsquo;s defensive lapses.<\/p><p>As the fight progresses, Micallef&rsquo;s youth and range carry him through competitive exchanges.

Five straight knockout losses with deteriorating defense makes him extremely vulnerable.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649398"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649398"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649426,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649398\/revisions\/649426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
