The breakdown below was written before the fight.
The read
Hasanov's undefeated record and physical tools make him the more explosive puncher's-chance pick, but Lebosnoyani's finishing rate and experience against tougher regional competition make this a legitimate crossroads test for the prospect.
Whoever imposes their preferred range and pace first likely takes control of the fight.
The matchup
This pits an unbeaten, fast-rising wrestler-striker against a battle-tested black belt riding a six-fight win streak.
Hasanov's power and takedown volume have overwhelmed the level of competition he has faced so far, while Lebosnoyani's balanced finishing across knockouts, submissions and decisions makes him a live threat everywhere the fight goes and represents a genuine step up in experience.
