BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Calvin Kattar vs. Giga Chikadze:

Brandon Royval, UFC flyweight: That is an amazing fight, I can’t wait to see what happens, and honestly I have no clue who wins.

Chris Curtis, UFC middleweight: That is so hard for me. I love Calvin Kattar, we came up on the same regional scene together. I love his boxing but I have sparred with Giga Chikadze and that dude is scary. Giga has so many different styles, I say Giga but my heart is pulling for Calvin.

Vince Morales, UFC bantamweight: That is such a tough fight but I think Kattar has the style to beat Chikadze. 

Ramiz Brahimaj, UFC welterweight: I think Kattar just happened to fight the better man in Max Holloway so you can’t take anything away from him in that. Chikadze is super impressive but I slightly lean Kattar.

Joseph Holmes, UFC middleweight: I got Kattar, I like his style. I think he can mix in the grappling which will frustrate Chikadze.

Adrian Yanez, UFC bantamweight: I gotta go with Giga Chikadze, his striking is so good and I think this will be a striking fight and Giga wins that every time.

Cody Stamann, UFC bantamweight: Giga Chikadze. I like Calvin Kattar a lot but he is super stationary and a boxer and that is not what you want to do against Giga.

Chase Sherman, UFC heavyweight: That is a good fight, they both have some hype behind them but to me, Giga Chikadze has been more impressive.

Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight: I want Kattar to win but I think Giga gets it done.

Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: Man, Kattar’s boxing is really good but Chikadze’s kickboxing is so good. Kattar does have some good defense and I think he can put the pressure on Giga and not let him get going with the kicks so I’m going with Kattar.
