Cons

Prediction: This is a grappler vs striker bout pretty much.
Guk does have some wrestling/grappling skills but most likely this is a area he’ll shy away from in the fight. He does have better wrestling than Supandhi which could be a valuable weapon for him however. That said, Guk has a big advantage on the feet, possibly the biggest advantage between the two. Supandhi has strong jiu-jitsu but not the wrestling to match. If he had better wrestling he might would be the pick. I like the output and overall striking of Guk enough to side with him.
