With Bin, he’s going to be the much better striker. His chin is a concern but it probably isn’t in danger here. Kashimura has zero footage but there is no secret he’s a jiu-jitsu fighter. Bin has decent grappling so there is a chance there is a path to victory for Kashimura. The most likely outcome of this fight is Bin will take over minute by minute and it would be a big upset if he lost.
