Bedtime MMA sees betting value on 39-year-old Muslim Salikhov despite Leal closing a sizable favorite after decisioning Alex Morono—an achievement he mocked as meaningless in 2025. He branded Leal a “roid monster” who has not faced Salikhov’s striking pedigree (multiple-time Wushu Sanda world champ). Expecting the King of Kung Fu’s diverse kick-boxing and counter work to pick Leal apart while avoiding extended grappling, he called for a Salikhov decision win.
