Prediction: Saragih is taking this fight on short notice but I’m still picking him here. He’s pretty impressive and honestly should’ve been straight on the show besides being a fill-in. Just everything I’ve watched on Maan, nothing impresses me. He has glaring holes everywhere. This is the most one-sided fight of the entire episode.
