Ivan Shtyrkov vs Yasubey Enomoto Prediction: Enomoto is undoubtedly challenging

Prediction for the Ivan Shtyrkov vs Yasubey Enomoto match which will take place on December 14. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ivan Shtyrkov is a big star in Russian mixed martial arts, but he has been actively trying his hand at other formats in recent years. He has also fought three times under kickboxing rules - he coped with Petr Romankevich, but Vladimir Mineyev and Vagab Vagabov proved no match for Ivan. Shtyrkov has fought his last two fights under MMA rules, and both times, he won early - Gadzhimurad Antigulov and Khadis Ibragimov.

Yasubey Enomoto is one of the most popular fighters in the RCC and, in fact, in the entire Russian MMA segment. He has been performing in Russia for a long time, fighting brightly and spectacularly. Lately, he has been haunted by failures, and the reason is banal age (Enomoto is already in his fifth decade).

In his last five fights, Yasubey has only managed to win once. Still, it should be noted that neither Mikhail Ragozin, Boris Medvedev, Alexander Shlemenko, nor Kiamrian Abbasov have been able to finish him off.

Yasubey Enomoto is undoubtedly challenging, but taking on a younger and heavier top contender seems like suicide. We understand that there is another side to this - the league is giving him a chance out of respect for their veteran, but we don't see any competition in this fight.

The only intrigue is whether Yasubey can reach the final bell on his feet. We think he can - the last time he lost by knockout was in 2018, and he was knocked out not by anyone but by Roman Kopylov, whose fists have been dropping one after another, and by guys in the UFC.
