Bedtime MMA called Muhammad Yaya an “industry plant” who was bullied by Trevor Peek and offers little offense. He noted Nguyen is the longer, rangier striker despite identical listed reach, carries real pop, throws far higher volume, and owns roughly 60 percent striking defense. With Yaya frequently backed up and out-worked, the tout projects Nguyen’s activity and length to overwhelm Yaya and score a knockout in round 1 or 2.
