Additionally, Johnson's recent training camp changes and renewed motivation suggest he's entering this fight in peak form. With a ton of momentum on his side and a chip on his shoulder, Johnson is primed to showcase why he belongs among the elite of the flyweight division by securing a hard-fought victory over the promising but less-experienced Temirov.

Why Ramazan Temirov Will Win

  • Last Fight: (W) CJ Vergara – KO/TKO R1
  • Last 5: 2-3
  • Finishes: 12 (11 KO/TKO/1 SUB)

Ramazan Temirov is poised to continue his impressive winning streak against Charles Johnson at UFC Vegas 103 this weekend. The Uzbekistani fighter enters the octagon with a formidable 18-2 record and riding a 10-fight win streak, including a spectacular UFC debut where he dispatched CJ Vergara in less than three minutes.

Temirov's compact build and exceptional power, rare for the flyweight division, make him a dangerous opponent for anyone in the weight class. His ability to finish fights quickly, with seven of his last 10 victories coming inside the distance, suggests he has the potential to overwhelm Johnson early.

While Johnson has shown resilience and improvement over his recent four-fight win streak, Temirov's raw power and finishing ability present a unique challenge. Johnson's tendency to engage in striking exchanges could play directly into Temirov's strengths, as the Uzbekistani fighter has demonstrated knockout power that is uncommon at 125 pounds.

Furthermore, Temirov's training at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento has likely sharpened his skills and game planning. With his combination of power, speed, and now elevated training, Temirov has all the tools necessary to not only defeat Johnson but to do so in emphatic fashion, potentially catapulting himself into immediate contention in the flyweight division.

Final Charles Johnson-Ramazan Temirov Prediction & Pick

In this intriguing flyweight clash at UFC Vegas 103, Charles Johnson and Ramazan Temirov are set to deliver an action-packed encounter. Johnson's experience and well-rounded skill set will be tested against Temirov's raw power and finishing ability.

While Johnson's veteran savvy could lead him to a decision victory if he can weather the early storm, Temirov's explosive style presents a significant threat. The key factor will be whether Temirov can land his power shots early or if Johnson can drag the fight into deep waters.

Given Johnson's recent performances and especially against the surging Joshua Van whom he knocked out in the third round, he will utilize his speed and length to keep Temirov at bay and punish him with shots as he attempts to close the distance and outstrike him to a decision victory, extending his winning streak to five in a row.

Final Charles Johnson-Ramazan Temirov Prediction & Pick: Charles Johnson (-125), Over 2.5 rounds (-215)
