Prediction: There’s not a lot of footage available on either of these bantamweights, but that’s especially true for Maimaitituoheti. With Maimaitituoheti there isn’t much to look forward to. However, you can definitely be excited for youngster Toshiomi Kazama. Kazama is a legit BJJ practitioner who has won various medals in jiu-jitsu. From heel hooks to armbars to triangles to hammerlocks he’s a huge threat on the mat.
Not just a submission fighter, Kazama’s ground and pound is very good. Kazama is constantly working to finish. Maimaitituoheti has lost four times by submission and his takedown defense does lack. Should be an easy submission win for Kazama.
