Pre-fight analysis

Nelson out-worked Ding Meng for fifteen minutes on debut, and Ding Meng's forty-three-fight career is now 0-2 at this level.

Cam Nelson won his UFC debut the unglamorous way: three rounds, no knockdowns, no submissions, and a volume score of 10.0 β€” the maximum the model awards β€” against a man who could not match the pace. Ding Meng is now 0-2 in the UFC, having lost a decision to Jose Henrique in May and this one in August. That 0-2 sits on top of a professional record of 34-9, which is the striking thing about this fi…

Meng intel

Ding Meng (34-9) is 0-2 in the UFC, losing decisions to Jose Henrique in May and Cam Nelson in August. His 96.0 chin rating is the standout figure β€” he has gone the distance in both defeats β€” while his 7.7 composite reflects two losses rather than a forty-three-fight career.

Nelson intel

Nelson (8-1) won his UFC debut on the cards. His 60.8 composite, 100.0 chin and 100.0 momentum all come from that one fight, and his 25.0 quality-of-victory is the lowest of his ratings β€” his opponent was rated 7.7.

Key angles

Nelson's 10.0 volume score β€” the maximum β€” against a 2.00 striking score

Ding Meng is 34-9 as a professional and 0-2 in the UFC

A 96.0 chin rating that has now taken thirty minutes of UFC punishment without breaking

Nelson won giving away 7.6cm of height and 2.5cm of reach

Risk flags

Nelson's ratings are one fight deep against an opponent rated 7.7 β€” the 60.8 composite is provisional

Ding Meng's 7.7 composite badly understates a fighter with forty-three professional bouts
