How The Fight Plays Out
Alatangheili is at his best when he can mix his game up. He is a rounded fighter that can find success in both the stand up and grappling, particularly against a certain (lower) level of opponent. He is a sound boxer and he is quite tough and durable. Alatangheili is also a solid wrestler and has sound clinch work, that will work to his advantage in this matchup. He will have a wrestling advantage and the earlier he can put it to use, the better.
Kevin Croom started his UFC tenure with a since overturned submission of Roosevelt Roberts. He has dropped two decisions since then, and unfortunately for him it appears number three is on the way. Croom is a fighter that throws caution to the wind in that first round, not keeping a pace he sets. He is going to try to be explosive and end the fight, but Alatangheili will be an extremely difficult fighter to put away at any point in any matchup.
What is more likely to happen is Croom attempts to be more dynamic while he can early in the fight, and makes that first round very close. Of course that will likely not be the case if he is taken down early. If Alatangheili gets the fight down early, Croom will likely be behind on gas for the duration. Even if there are no such early takedowns, we will see Croom fade once again. He will be taken down and the later rounds will be extremely hard for him to win.
What To Bet
This matchmaking has the feel of a get right spot for Alatangheili, and is potentially the last chance for Croom to prove he belongs on the roster. While an Alatangheili win and Croom keeping a roster spot should not be a both or neither scenario, that is likely the case. Look for a fight that gets progressively more boring and one sided as it progresses and ultimately a fairly easy win for Alatangheili.
Betting Pick: Alatangheili -185
