It's a BIG night in Las Vegas for our commentator...
This is a classic "prospect vs. veteran" matchup. Hardwick, a former Cage Warriors champion, is looking to bounce back after a tough loss in his UFC debut last September. Rahiki is an undefeated finisher making his highly anticipated promotional debut.
Harry earned his nickname "Houdini" for his ability to escape dangerous positions and pull off slick submissions. He'll need that craftiness tonight against Marwan, who has finished every single one of his professional opponents
Because Rahiki is an undefeated prospect with high-impact finishing power, he is currently the betting favorite. However, "Houdini" Hardwick is a savvy veteran with a high fight IQ, making this a classic "unstoppable force vs. immovable object" scenario.
The Prediction
The most common expert pick is Marwan via TKO in Round 1 or 2. However, if Hardwick can drag it out, his cardio and veteran craftiness will tilt the fight into his favour. A repeat of the Keweny Lopes victory for us.
Come on Harry! Up the Boro!

UFC 323
A Christmas cracker for tomorrow morning.
A card studded with previous champions and title challengers.
Dvalishvilli vs Yan = Merab (can’t see the upset)
Pantoja vs Van = Cinderella story for Joshua
Taira vs Moreno = Brandon (probably)
Cejudo vs Talbot = Payton to finally retire Henry
Blachowicz vs Gustov = Jan to turn the clock back (wishing?)
McKinney vs Duncan = Chris, too much of a problem for Terrence.

Zhang seeks to catch the bullet. Same as the main event this should favour the bigger athlete. Weili is well rounded and the BFC office is split. I think Valentina gets it done.

UFC 322
Jack gets nightmare first defence. Is the Dagestan wrestling still the dominant force?
We’re going to find out tonight New York MSG.
Islam, moves up, for double champ gory. Della is the better striker, but we think Makha gets the nod.
