Prediction
Saldana is going to need to use his five-inch height advantage and stick Murdock on the outside of his strikes. Murdock may struggle with the striking here so the wrestling should be his go-to. Saldana struggles off his back and Murdock has heavy top control so if he gets there he will stay there. Saldana has never been all that impressive and Murdock just has the better gas tank and more ways to win.
