Prediction

This is a fight between two lower-level guys considering the talent this season. I will say both athletes are still young and improving. Both have terrible defense when it comes to takedowns and striking defense alike. On the feet I do favor Potter more, as his ability to mix it up and land at a high rate is nice. If the fight was to hit the mat it would be interesting. Brzeski has that strong positioning and Potter is dangerous with subs. Potter struggles so bad with takedown defense I can see Brzeski just using that. It’s a tough fight to pick but I’ll edge towards Brzeski — but won’t be surprised either way.
