FIGHT WINNER
Jailton Almeida
59%
In their previous encounter at UFC 302 on June 1, 2024, Jailton Almeida secured a dominant first-round submission victory over Alexander Romanov via rear-naked choke. Almeida's elite grappling and ability to quickly take the fight to the ground and find finishes proved too much for Romanov. While Almeida has since faced setbacks and is no longer with the UFC, his specific skillset remains a significant threat to Romanov, who was unable to defend against Almeida's takedowns and submission attempts in their initial bout. Romanov has continued to compete in PFL, showing resilience, but his grappling defense against a high-level submission artist like Almeida remains a question mark. Given the decisive nature of their first fight, Almeida would likely seek a similar path to victory if they were to hypothetically rematch.
