Johnny Munoz vs Liudvik Shaolinian Fight Odds
Johnny Munoz -210 vs Liudvik Shaolinian
Fight is at 135 lbs and is +155 to end inside the distance.
Liudvik Shaolinian makes his second walk to the octagon after being utterly dominated in his debut. Shaolinian is a wrestler whose game is perpetuated on controlling lesser wrestlers and grapplers. He offers very little as a striker and likes to work against the fence and secure takedowns. In his debut, he ran into a better wrestler in Jack Shore. That was an ugly outcome. Now he gets a totally different test in a superior BJJ fighter that also has a bit of a wrestling game. Shaolinian will be putting himself in danger with takedowns, not vice versa. He may have to rely on his adequate but far-from-dangerous striking in this matchup.

Johnny Munoz has a high end BJJ game. His wrestling and striking have both seen improvement, but there is no question that Munoz game is still perpetuated on his BJJ. That however is not the only advantage in this matchup. Munoz will be the more dangerous striker and would be the better bet to win a stand up heavy fight. The more meaningful shots will be landed by Munoz.
On the wrestling side of things, I would not deem to Munoz to be the better wrestler by any means. With that said, he is not incapable as a wrestler. If he is able to land even one takedown, he will put himself in such an advantageous position. Shaolinian is a fighter than is not well versed off his back, and would be almost helpless against Munoz. On the other hand, this is a fight where Munoz will be happy to be taken down himself. Working off his back for submissions and sweeps will be exactly what he wants to do, and the advantage in that area will be quite large.
How The Fight Plays Out and How To Attack It
When thinking of Johnny Munoz, it is correct to still think of him as a specialist, even with the progression of blending his skills. With that said, every area of this fight is an advantage for him. In a worst case scenario that are no areas of disadvantage. No matter where this fight goes, Munoz has it covered. The difficulty comes in on opting between the flat line at -210 and the ITD line at +225. That is a significant difference. A finish on the mat would not be at all surprising and Shaolinian will likely either plan to or instinctively take the fight to the mat. We are going to be aggressive on this bet and opto for Munoz ITD at +225.
Betting Pick: Munoz ITD +225
