Seokhyeon Ko vs. Oban Elliott Preview<\/h2>

At UFC Baku, South Korea’s Seokhyeon ko (11-2, never fought in the UFC so far) makes his promotional debut against Wales’ Oban Elliot (12-2 and currently 3-0 in the UFC) in a welterweight prelim bout at Baku Crystal Hall. Ko, “The Korean Tyson,” earned his UFC contract with a unanimous decision victory over Igor Cavalcanti on Dana White’s Contender Series, displaying crisp striking with 3.60 significant strikes per minute, on 51 percent accuracy, and a solid wrestling with (2.00 takedowns per 15 minutes). <\/p>

Elliot, “The Welsh Gangster,” rides an eight-fight win streak, including a third-round TKO Bassil Hafez, with 4.26 significant strikes per minute at 49% accuracy and 50% takedown accuracy. Ko’s aggressive power-heavy style is going up against Elliot’s technical versatility and grappling edge. Expect Elliot to counter Ko’s overhand shots with precise strikes and takedowns, while Ko’s knockout threat keeps him dangerous. This high-energy bout is certainly an exciting bout for a prelim matchup.<\/p>

Seokhyeon Ko vs. Oban Elliott MMA Betting Odds<\/h2>

This bout is looked at as a huge mismatch as, according to BetMGM<\/a>, Oban Elliott is an overwhelming -500 favorite<\/strong> to win the bout. This means that the oddsmakers are heavily leaning towards Elliott to win the fight. While, Seokhyeon Ko, who is set to make his debut, is a +375 underdog<\/strong>, with the oddsmakers not giving him much of a chance to win the bout.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>

According to BetMGM<\/a>, the fight is likely to go to distance with the odds currently at -135 to see the judges decision to +100 for the fight to end before the final bell.<\/strong><\/p>

Seokhyeon Ko vs. Oban Elliot Predictions and Picks<\/h2>

Oban Elliot’s technical edge should outshine Seokhyeon Ko’s raw power at UFC Baku. Ko’s heavy overhand shots will test Elliot early, but the Welshman’s ability to stay composed, while land precise counters, and maintain distance should wear down Ko. Elliot’s grappling versatility could also neutralize Ko’s brawling style, controlling the pace for majority of the rounds. While KO’s durability could keep him in the fight, Elliot’s cleaner striking and Octagon IQ should secure the judges’ nod. <\/p>

Expect a competitive scrap, with Elliot pulling ahead. We expect Oban Elliot to win via unanimous decision<\/a><\/strong> and spoil Ko’s UFC debut.<\/p>
