Iskandar Ziyaev vs Marat Isaev 2: This time Iskandar Will Win
Iskandar “Chef” Ziyaev: Former Top Dog Champion
Iskandar is the first Top Dog bare-knuckle fighting champion in his weight class. He was a fan favorite, an open and exciting guy, but something went wrong for him after winning the ring.
First, he lost to Isaev according to boxing rules (according to most experts, he did not lose), and then he lost the Top Dog ring in his first defense to Anis Chilaev. In that fight for repeated violations, the referee twice deducted his opponent by a point, but this did not help Iskandar win. And after this defeat, Ziyaev announced (he spoke about this before) that he was ending his career in bare-knuckle fighting.
Marat Isaev: daring and dangerous
Isaev is a reasonably well-known fighter who wanders from league to league. In his record, he has a win over Chorshanbe Chorshanbiev, but he also has a loss to blogger Kovalenko.
To understand the level of Isaev, we can’t get away from his first fight with Iskandar.
Evaluate, please, yourself, but here is how Ziyaev assessed this fight:
“I am disappointed by a number of facts. Well, first of all, this, of course, is refereeing in this organization. They are clearly not ready to work according to the criteria of a professional organization, if we also take into account the fact that these are judges from MMA organizations, and in my case, it is necessary to judge the opposition to boxing, this already raises questions. Although even if just sitting and stupidly counting hits, it is easy to understand who was more effective in this fight, and who dominated the entire fight, the center of the octagon was behind me. Marat ran around the entire octagon, although at the conference he asked not to run away from him. My opinion is that I won the first two rounds cleanly, and the third is close to a draw.

Comparison of Ziyaev and Isaev
Marat’s rather serious advantage in anthropometry is striking. But Iskandar’s vast amateur experience, especially in boxing, should help him in his revenge. Surely this time he clearly knows what he needs to do to win.

It is this confidence that gives grounds for revenge to bet on him.
