Prediction
Ash has very little footage available aside from clips and highlights. Todorovic is a well-rounded fighter who I would say is maybe UFC-level. Ash, from what I’ve seen, is a guy that puts in all on the line, throwing shot after shot until the fight is over. That being said, it looks like it wears on the gas tank of Ash, so if this fight goes to the later rounds it could be interesting. Todorovic, for the most part, is untested never going outside the second round and never being put in bad positions. Ash has suffered defeat a few times, has fought the better competition, and has been in wars, so on paper, he looks to have the edge. My pick, though, is Todorovic because of the lack of footage on Ash.
Next: Kailan Hill vs. Impa Kasanganay
