Prediction: Both guys had favorable match-ups in their first fight in the tournament. I do think it means something that it took Saragih three rounds to finish his opponent and only one for Bin.

I would say Saragih is the more dangerous guy but Bin is the more complete fighter. Bin is a seasoned veteran that has fought some good fighters. For Saragih, Bin is the best guy he’s fought.

The way I see this going in a competitive fight early on but Bin takes over as the fight goes. The pick is Bin but I’m not too interested.
