By E. Spencer Kyte • Jan. 15, 2025
Championship fights are layered battles, with the competitors stepping into the Octagon operating at the highest level in their respective weight classes. Breaking down how these pivotal contests could possibly play out is a challenging venture, which is why UFC staff writer E. Spencer Kyte has taken to enlisting the help of some of the sharpest minds in the sport to help dissect these critical contests.
Ahead of Saturday’s bantamweight title bout between Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov, Kyte and New England Cartel head coach Tyson Chartier discussed the matchup between champion and challenger based on four elements — the best trait of each fighter, the potential paths to victory, possible X-factors, and a point of curiosity each has about the contest — in hopes of providing the best pre-fight breakdown of the fight possible.
