Prediction
It’s hard to get a good read on Lutz because of the limited pro footage. From what I saw, the closest resemblance (and others are saying so as well) is Sean Brady. With Gibson, he’s got good offensive grappling but that’s about it. On the feet, he’s a bit too easy to read as the right hand and body kick is about all he throws. Of what I’ve seen from Lutz I’ve liked. I think the possibility of Lutz just marching forward getting takedown after takedown is likely to happen. That gameplan has worked against Gibson before as Rafa Garcia dominated him with that same strategy. I like Lutz everywhere in this fight and to get a stoppage at some point.
