Kenny has looked good in his return. Very tough fighter to deal with if he gets you down to the ground and goes for unique positions and attacks at times. On Paper, Aliev looks good, but the big show is a different animal

Kenny has been in the UFC for a few years. I must confess I am not too familiar with Aliev, didn't he fight for Bellator at one point?

Yea, I googled him and realized I've probably seen a bunch of his fights. But outside of the top 10 or 15 in the division, TUF standouts, or famous fighters (Tito, Bonnar, King Mo), I don't have much of a memory for fighters.

Aliev dominated Marshall using his Sambo and got f---ed over with that decision IMO
He's a solid fighter that has a strong Sambo base that just prefers to knock you out. I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Kenny by keeping the fight vertical and knocking his arse out. Robertson in his last fight tho looked good in getting an awkward, big and strong bastard in Alcantara down repeatedly and smashing him.
Good fight!

Robertson is probably the most underrated grappler in MMA. His wrestling is pretty sick too. Would love to see him against Maia if he beats Aliev like he did his last couple of opponents, in dominant fashion.
