Song Kenan vs Muslim Salikhov - AI generated fight pick

Muslim Salikhov, known as the 'King of Kung Fu', brings a wealth of experience with a record of 20 wins and 5 losses, including 13 knockouts and 2 submissions. His significant strike accuracy and defense are relatively high at 49% and 63% respectively, indicating his prowess in striking exchanges. Song Kenan, with a record of 21 wins and 8 losses, also has a strong knockout and submission game, but his striking defense is notably lower at 52%.

In terms of recent performance and momentum, Salikhov's most recent victory against Santiago Ponzinibbio (via split decision) signifies his ability to handle high-caliber opponents. Despite being 40 years old, Salikhov’s diverse fighting style and history of first-round finishes (13) make him a formidable opponent.

Additionally, Salikhov's ability to defend against takedowns (71% defense) can be crucial against a striker like Kenan, who while proficient, has shown vulnerabilities, having been defeated by individuals with strong striking defenses and tactics.

Although Song has an advantage in reach and first-round finishes, Salikhov's recent win and experience tilt the fight slightly in his favor, especially given Kenan's recent mixed results in the octagon. Thus, I predict Salikhov to win, but due to Kenan's knockout potential, the confidence level is moderate at 70%.
