Thad Jean predicts Shamil Musaev will get ‘greedy’ before PFL title fight
· Yahoo Sports
Thad
Jean is confident that he can land a fight-ending blow in his
upcoming bout against Shamil
Musaev on July 25.
The undefeated 2025 Professional Fighters League welterweight tournament champion will challenge former tourney winner Musaev for the vacant PFL welterweight championship in the main event of PFL Washington D.C. at CareFirst Arena.
Jean enters the title fight with an unblemished 11-0 record, while Musaev has an 18-1-1 slate and captured the 2024 PFL welterweight tournament before falling short in his bid for the inaugural divisional crown earlier this year. Ahead of their championship bout, Jean explained how he plans to make a statement against Musaev.
When asked if he has a prediction for the bout, Jean claimed he’ll take advantage of the fact that Musaev is coming off his first pro defeat.
“I think after his last loss, he will get greedy and I will catch him,” he said. “He is gonna get greedy, and I am going to catch him, or he’s gonna get frustrated, and I am going to catch him. I mean, if you watch him back, you’ll see what he does before he starts. He gets frustrated, then he goes.”
