Prediction
To be simple the pick here is Buzukja. Baghdasaryan looks talented but there isn’t nearly enough footage of him to where I can get a good read on him. Buzukja seems to be mainly a striker so that does give Baghdasaryan an opportunity to showcase his skills on the feet. Baghdasaryan is a pro boxer, competed in K1 Kickboxing, and was a WLF champion. With that said there isn’t enough footage and Buzukja is a good talent.
