Predictions
Both men are grapplers who don’t usually care to defend takedowns so this fight is definitely hitting the mat. Both are solid grapplers but I think Kirk is better in all areas. Off his back, Kirk is better and I think is the better wrestler. Quarantillo may have the advantage only with his power but Kirk has good Muay Thai and may be a bit more technical.
