Prediction: It’s hard to know a lot about Jieleyisi when there is only one fight of his available out there. He looks to be primarily a wrestler so that may not work in his favor. Why? Because Kamikubo is an excellent wrestler.
I would bet Kamikubo is the better wrestler of the two. Also, Kamikubo has proven cardio and has fought much better competition. Jieleyisi could surprise but I would be shocked if Kamikubo lost.
