Competing in front of a prime-time North American audience, Tyler McGuire will battle rising star Raimond Magomedaliev. Looking to get One Welterweight World Title Championship, this military fighter is ready to represent himself on the global stage on Wednesday, April 7.
Originally from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Tyler McGuire is the current champion for Extreme Challenge and Excite Fight Welterweight. Since, his debut in 2015, he has an undefeated record of 10-0 earning him a place on the ONE Championship roster. However, the road to Welterweight Gold Championship is blocked by a rising Russian fighter, Raimond Magomedaliev.
Raimond Magomedaliev is known for his impressive back-to-back first-round victories. With a formidable grappling background and a one-punch knockout power, Magomedaliev is a contender to look out for.
According to McGuire, he is not worried about Magomedaliev’s grappling ability. This confidence stems from McGuires stellar 12-1 professional record of mixed martial arts career, particularly his tenacious grappling style as well. McGuire knows that the bid to win welterweight gold is not an easy journey. After his loss to Zebaztian The Bandit Kadestam, he managed to make a comeback after his unanimous decision victory against Agilan Alligator Thani.
During McGuires fight with the Malaysian contender, he pushed his pace using his grappling ability to take down Thani. However, during the middle of the bought, exhaustion started kicking in. McGuire certainly did not quit and managed to secure victory before the third round. This comeback performance allowed him to take a look at his weaknesses and work on them improving them.
