If you noticed they have fought some of the same fighters over the years and this fight seems like a great rematch between these two experienced young fighters.


Prediction:
Artem "Lion" Levin wins revenge matches and has also won his last 5 matches. Marcus is 3-2 is his last five matches. Neither fighter has knocked out their opponent in the last 5 matches. I believe Levin will win by decision.

Who do you think will win?
